The Red
Devils made an ideal start when Anthony Martial caressed Juan Mata's pinpoint
pass into the bottom corner.
Wolfsburg
replied within three minutes through Naldo's sharp volley and led when
Vieirinha finished a flowing move.
United
thought they were through after Josuha Guilavogui's own goal, only to be
condemned to the Europa League through Naldo's late header.
Louis van
Gaal's side knew they would qualify for the last 16 by beating Wolfsburg, or if
PSV Eindhoven lost to CSKA Moscow.
Twice inside
the final 15 minutes, United thought they were progressing at the expense of
the Dutch side, who needed to better United's result to advance,
CSKA led 1-0
in Eindhoven as United also trailed, before both PSV and United were briefly
level in their respective ties.
But late
winners for Wolfsburg and PSV knocked out United.
