Fans made their feelings known as the final whistle blew on another disappointing night for United, while Bayern fans taunted their rivals.
The odds had always been stacked against United after managing just one win in the group stage going into its final game.
Ten Hag’s team had to end Bayern’s tournament record 39-game unbeaten run in the group stages and still hope for a draw between Copenhagen and Galatasaray to take the runner-up spot.
Bayern may have already been assured of top spot in the group and a place in the knockout stage for the 16th straight season, but it showed no sign of taking the game lightly and looked assured for much of it.
United’s prospects weren’t helped when, shortly before halftime, Maguire was substituted because of an apparent groin injury. Jonny Evans replaced the England international.
Another defender, Luke Shaw, was then substituted at the break, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka coming on in his place.
Bayern had created the better chances in the first half, with Leroy Sane the visitors’ biggest threat. But he got technique all wrong with an attempted side-foot volley from close range that failed to hit the target.
United’s best opportunity came through Shaw’s long shot that was punched over by Manuel Neuer.
In a game of few chances, Bayern broke the deadlock with a goal of real quality.
Coman had harried United’s defenders as the home team struggled to play out from the back. When the ball broke loose, substitute Thomas Muller flicked it to Kane, who played an incisive pass into the run of Coman.
With only Andre Onana to beat, the forward powered a shot into the bottom corner.
Ten Hag made a host of changes in an attempt to find an equalizer that never looked likely as Bayern comfortably saw out the win.
