Off the back of Jose's post match comments last night it got me thinking about our recent record in the UCL since the Wembley final in 2011
Season 11/12
Manager Sir Alex Ferguson
Exit Group Stage (Benfica/Basel)
Season 12/13
Manager Sir Alex Ferguson
Exit Last 16 (Real Madrid)
Season 13/14
Manager David Moyes
Exit Quarter Finals (Bayern Munich)
Season 15/16
Manager Louis Van Gaal
Exit Group Stage (Wolfsburg/PSV)
Season 17/18
Manager Jose Mourinho
Exit Last 16 (Seville)
So albeit we've missed the competition altogether twice in the last 7 years only David Moyes has got us further than the last 16 and it's worth remembering that we only got into the quarter finals that year by overturning a 2-0 first leg defeat to Olympiakos. Also worth noting that a lot of our current players have been ever present throughout those early exits (De Gea, Smalling & Young initially, then the likes of Mata and Fellaini)
No agenda behind this post just something that occurred to me last night
