The San Mames club were good value for their victory, with goals from Fernando Llorente and Oscar de Marcos putting them into an unassailable position.
Wayne Rooney did pull one back for the English champions, bur Sir Alex Ferguson admitted that his men were beaten by the better team over 180 minutes.
“We can’t complain. In the first half we gave away a real soft goal. That was the last thing we wanted,” he told Channel 5.
“At the start of the second half they did really well could have scored two or three more goals.
“We did better later on but nowhere near enough to win,” he confessed.
United, who are top of the Premier League, face Wolves on Sunday, and Ferguson admitted that he made his substitutions with that game in mind.
“We decided to take Rio Ferdinand and Michael Carrick and eventually Ryan Giggs off because we were thinking of Sunday.
“It’s not a sense of relief (to go out) because there are still 10 games to play in the league.
“There is still a lot to do. I think the key thing is we have to make sure we win on Sunday,” he concluded.
