Man Utd must beat Bayern Munich on December 13 to qualify for the next round of the UEFA Champions League. However, the "Gray Tigers" currently hold the record of 39 unbeaten matches in the group stage of Europe's top tournament.

Bayern Munich's winning streak in the Champions League group stage ended at 18 after a 0-0 draw against Copenhagen on November 24. However, the Bavarian "Gray Tigers" are still unbeaten in 39 matches in the group stage of this tournament.
Since Bayern Munich has secured the top spot in Group A of the UEFA Champions League, Man Utd hopes that the German representative will not field their strongest squad on December 13.
However, according to the list of players registered to compete in this year's Champions League, Bayern Munich does not have too many players.
In the match against Copenhagen, Bayern Munich only had 7 substitutes (including two goalkeepers Sven Ulreich and Daniel Peretz). The squad is not too strong, so coach Thomas Tuchel will likely have to use stars like Thomas Mueller, Leroy Sane or Leon Goretzka.
In addition, after leaving Tottenham to join Bayern Munich last summer, Harry Kane has not had the opportunity to face an English team and he is certainly eager to play at Old Trafford next week.
Coach Thomas Tuchel was not satisfied when Bayern Munich was held to a draw by Copenhagen, ending their winning streak in Group A of the UEFA Champions League this year. Therefore, the "Gray Tigers" still need a positive result in the final match of the group stage against Man Utd.
Man Utd's situation in the Champions League this year is very difficult, they have only got 4 points out of 5 matches and are at the bottom of Group A. Coach Erik Ten Hag and his team will only continue if they beat Bayern Munich at Old Trafford (3am on December 13) and the match between Galatasaray and Copenhagen ends in a draw.
