Bayern Munich welcomes Manchester United for their entry into the group stage of the Champions League, this Wednesday (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
A clash between Bayern Munich and Manchester United cannot leave fans indifferent. It’s an awakening to an epic evening. In 1999, the two clubs faced each other in the Champions League final for a clash which offered an unforgettable scenario, Sir Alex Ferguson’s gang overthrowing Bayern in stoppage time to lift the prestigious big-eared cup.
Water has flowed under the bridge since then, and Manchester United has fallen into line. The British club will be very much an outsider in this great European classic. Erik ten Hag’s team will indeed come up against Bayern who have launched their season perfectly, under the leadership of Harry Kane who is already very effective as an attacking leader. A victory for the Bavarians would send a message to the rest of Europe.
The probable compositions
Bayern Munich : Ulreich – Mazraoui, Upamecano, Kim, Davies – Laimer, Goretzka – Sané, Musiala, Gnabry – Kane
Manchester United : Onana – Dalot, Lindelof, Martinez, Reguilon – Casemiro, Eriksen – Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford – Hojlund
