Bayern Munich vs Manchester United Match Preview:
Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich started off the Bundesliga season strong, but a 2-2 draw with Bayer Leverkusen ruined their perfect record. In the first half of the game, Harry Kane scored his 300th goal for his club, but Alex Grimaldo scored a goal of his own to make it a tie. In the 86th minute, Leon Goretzka’s goal seemed to give the home team the win. But the tension grew when VAR gave Leverkusen a penalty in the last minute, which Exequiel Palacios scored.
Bayern’s head coach, Thomas Tuchel, said that everyone on the field needs to be more tough. He wants to get back on track against Manchester United, a team he has never beaten at home, even though he has tried to do so four times before.
Bayern has never lost at home to the Red Devils. They have won three times and tied twice. The German giants are about to make history by becoming the first team in the history of the Champions League group stage to go 34 games without losing. Also, they want to win their 14th home group-stage game in a row, which would be a new record.
Manchester United
Also, Manchester United, which is led by Erik ten Hag, is having trouble after losing to Brighton & Hove Albion by a score of 3-1. Danny Welbeck, who used to play for United, scored the first goal. In the second half, Pascal Gross and Joao Pedro added to Brighton’s score. United is now in 13th place and nine points behind Manchester City.
Ten Hag stays strong, denying that there is a problem and telling his team to stick to their plan. The Red Devils now have two away games in a row. First, they play at Burnley, and then they travel to Bavaria to take on Bayern Munich. United’s record against Bayern in the Champions League hasn’t been good in recent years. In their last eight matches, United has only won once.

In Kimmich’s absence, Konrad Laimer is likely to feature in central midfield alongside Goretzka. Bayern’s attack is spearheaded by the prolific Harry Kane, supported by Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sane, with Jamal Musiala vying for a spot in the number 10 role.
Manchester United, on the other hand, grapples with injuries to key players such as Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Mason Mount, Sofyan Amrabat, Tom Heaton, Amad Diallo, and Kobbie Mainoo. However, Ten Hag remains optimistic about the return of some of these players.
Additionally, Antony is unavailable due to ongoing allegations of assault, while Jadon Sancho is excluded from first-team training following a social media incident.
In light of recent performance, Ten Hag may opt for a tactical shift to a 4-2-3-1 formation against Bayern, with Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, or Facundo Pellistri potentially starting on the right flank.
Predicted Lineups:
Manchester United: Onana; Dalot, Lindelof, Martinez, Reguilon; Casemiro, Eriksen; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund
Bayern Munich: Ulreich; Mazraoui, Upamecano, Kim, Davies; Laimer, Goretzka; Sane, Musiala, Gnabry; Kane
Bayern Munich vs Manchester United Prediction:
We think that Bayern will beat Manchester United by a score of 3-1. Even though Bayern lost recently, it seems unlikely that a stressed-out Manchester United can win in their present situation. The Bavarians have a strong attack with Kane and a lot of fast forwards. They are ready to take advantage of the weaknesses in the Red Devils’ defense to win all three points in their Group A start.
