Think this is what has upset people the most.
You can bemoan luck and lack of quality all you like but those arguments fall flat when you haven't tried against an inferior team.
Pretty obvious we did try to try when you look at the first 5 minutes, the players just bottled it and were crying afterwards

"Blame me, José Mourinho told tearful Manchester United players
José Mourinho told a tearful Manchester United dressing room that he would take the flak for the embarrassing Champions League exit during one of two emotive post-match speeches at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.
Some members of the United squad were so devastated by the 2-1 loss to Seville that they were in tears after the game. Mourinho was subjected to damning criticism, some of it from club legends Rio Ferdinand and Paul Scholes, after he failed to deliver the Champions League quarter-final place that was demanded of him by the United board.
Despite not making the last eight of the tournament, Mourinho did not give his players the hairdryer treatment in the dressing room. He said he was “happy” to see a number of players were extremely upset at the loss.
“When we win, we all win, when we lose, I lose alone,” the United manager is understood to have told his players.
Mourinho then walked down the corridor to the away dressing room where, with the permission of Vincenzo Montella, the Seville manager, he addressed the visiting squad and wished them luck in the rest of the competition. The Seville squad appreciated the gesture and responded by giving the United manager a round of applause.
Mourinho and his team were booed off the pitch after the defeat, with many United supporters angry at the selection of Marouane Fellaini over Paul Pogba in midfield, and at Mourinho’s conservative tactics.

Romelu Lukaku, the United striker, admitted that he and his team-mates had a duty to entertain the fans when they came to Old Trafford on Saturday for the FA Cup quarter-final against Brighton & Hove Albion.
“It is an important game and we have to give fans what they want to see, which is winning games and playing attractive football,” said the Belgian, who scored a late consolation after Wissam Ben Yedder had put Seville 2-0 up.
Despite claiming in his pre-match press conference that the 0-0 first-leg draw was “not an especially good result”, it is understood that Mourinho’s game plan for the tie was to stifle Seville in Spain and then try to be more expansive at home. But a number of players performed poorly on Tuesday, including the entire back four and Alexis Sánchez, who has one goal in ten matches for the club.
Despite Sánchez’s poor form, Mourinho retains confidence in the forward and he is set to start against Brighton. Sánchez has one goal in ten games for Man United
Mourinho’s tactics, described as “baffling” by Ferdinand, do not sit easy with some board members at Old Trafford, but crucially for the Portuguese, he still has the full support of Ed Woodward, the executive vice-chairman.
Woodward is planning to back Mourinho in the transfer market this summer. The United manager would like a full back, a central defender and at least one central midfielder. Fred, the Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder, has been scouted by United and could move in a £40 million deal after Manchester City cooled their interest in the 25-year-old.
Daley Blind, Matteo Darmian and Marcos Rojo could be sold while Michael Carrick will retire in June. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Fellaini are also expected to leave when their contracts expire this summer, even though Mourinho would like to keep the latter."
