Football review Bayern Munich vs Man Utd: Red Devils at a disadvantage

Man Utd will be visiting Bayern Munich in the opening match of the group stage of the Champions League. Fans of the English team will hardly expect a victory in the context that the Red Devils are facing many troubles.

Coach Erik ten Hag and his team had a terrible start to the season. They suffered 3 defeats in their first 5 matches. Against strong and well-organized teams like Arsenal, Tottenham and Brighton, Man Utd deservedly lost. Meanwhile, they had to struggle to win against weaker opponents like Nottingham Forest and Wolverhampton.

Man Utd's instability is partly due to injuries. Coach Erik ten Hag does not have many squad options. Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Raphael Varane are absent. Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Harry Maguire are the two latest names to join the injured squad. Newcomers Rasmus Hojlund, Mason Mount and Sofyan Amrabat have not been able to get into the rhythm of their new team.

Meanwhile, the team's internal affairs were also affected by the personal problems of Antony and Jadon Sancho. Furthermore, a day before the Champions League opening match, British newspapers revealed that 4 Man Utd players had conflicts with each other after the humiliating defeat to Brighton.

The unstable situation both professionally and behind the scenes makes it difficult for Man Utd fans to have high expectations for their team in the match against Bayern Munich. Even at their best, the Red Devils are hardly rated higher than the Bundesliga representative.

Bayern Munich are in good form, although coach Thomas Tuchel is still being questioned. Before being held to a 2-2 draw by Bayer Leverkusen a few days ago, Bayern Munich had won four consecutive Bundesliga matches at the start of the season. The late goal in that match was a reminder for Tuchel's team ahead of the reception of Man Utd.

Bayern Munich's squad depth is much better than their opponents. Harry Kane is getting along well with his teammates. The English striker quickly integrated and scored continuously for his new team. It would not be surprising if Bayern dominated and won 3 points.

Expected lineup Bayern Munich vs Man Utd

Bayern Munich: Ulreich; Davies, Kim, Upamecano, Laimer; Kimmich, Goretzka, Gnarby, Muller, Sane; Kane.

Man United: Onana; Reguilon, Martinez, Lindelof, Dalot; Fernandes, Casemiro, Eriksen; Ganarcho, Rashford, Hojlund.

Prediction: Bayern Munich 2-0 Man Utd
