at the end of the group stage in the champions league the top two seeds of each progress into the knock-out stages, the third seed enters the eufa cup, and the fourth seed is eliminated from all european competition.
Evolution
Since its inception in 1992/93, the Champions League has continued to evolve, maintaining a mixture of round-robin group matches as well as its traditional knock-out format. The current format was introduced in 2003/04. After three qualifying rounds, 32 teams contest the group stage, divided into eight groups of four. The group winners and runners-up advance to the knockout stages, the eight third-placed teams move into the UEFA Cup third round, and the eight fourth-placed teams are eliminated.

The rules is that when MU finished at the bottom of the group they are out of any competition.While the two clubs who finished as champion and runners up of the group they progressed to the last 16 CL knockout stage, but the one which get 3rd placing will enter UEFA as the seeded team.

You only enter the UEFA cup if you're third in your group. Last time Man U got knocked out in the group stages they were fourth therefore they were out of European competition for the rest of that season.

I'm guessing you mean the UEFA Cup? And as far as last year goes, it's because they got fourth in their group. You have to get third.
