what frustrates me is the lack of urgency. It was a must-win in order to keep the slim chance alive, and United never seemed to bother. Worrying and frustrating.

I can see where you're coming from. Bayern didnt exactly play them off the pitch or anything, but United really offered nothing in terms of an actual threat.
When you consider the dynamics of the match, its why I classified it as 'Professional.'
Bayern wanted a result. They got the win. They didnt by any stretch 'blow United away' but they also werent threatened in the slightest.
Despite United having everything to play for and Bayern having nothing, at Old Trafford, in a 'Do or Die' scenario United offered nothing. Neuer could have played that match while reading a book. If United were truly classy they could have shown a movie on the big screen to keep him occupied. Most of the fans would probably have appreciated it as well. Maybe "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking barrels?"
United couldnt even have been bothered to 'Huff and Puff.' They'd given up before the Ref's first whistle.
Which, as a fan, yeah, should be concerning.
