Manchester United-Bayern Munich is a match valid for the sixth day of the Champions League group stage and is played on Tuesday at 9 pm: TV, predictions.
Manchester United risks a resounding elimination from the Champions League already after the group stage. It would be yet another failure for a club that in recent seasons, despite sparing no expense in the market, continues not to come up with one.
Fact is that, in a group that at the time of the draw in Nyon seemed affordable, the Red Devils have managed to complicate their lives. And now a victory against Bayern Munich, already qualified (and already sure to go through as first) on the last day of the group stage, may not even be enough. After the first five rounds, in fact, Erik ten Hag’s team is last in the standings with only four points. Copenhagen and Galatasaray, who will simultaneously face each other at Parken Stadion, have one more. This means that in case either of them wins, Bruno Fernandes and his teammates would be eliminated. That is why, in addition to beating the Bavarians, United must hope for a draw between the Danes and the Turks. However, one must also think in terms of third place: missing even that would be really serious. If Manchester United were to finish tied on points with Galatasaray, they would finish last because of direct clashes. With Copenhagen, on the other hand, it will be necessary to count the total goals scored in the round, given the total parity in direct clashes and goal difference.
United, win and hope
United backs to the wall, then. And victory is by no means a foregone conclusion. Yes, because the Bavarians usually concede little even if they have nothing to lose. The past teaches.

After missing the chance to finish with full points in the round for the third year in a row following the draw two weeks ago with Copenhagen (0-0), Bayern Munich will want to make a good impression in Manchester, especially after the very heavy defeat they suffered last weekend in Frankfurt (5-1), picking up their third knockout of the season after the one against Leipzig in the Super Cup and against little Saarbrucken in the German Cup. A bad setback that complicates the chase of Thomas Tuchel’s men toward the summit, still occupied by Bayer Leverkusen. It was also a weekend to forget for the Red Devils, humiliated at Old Trafford by Bournemouth (0-3): ten Hag’s bench is wavering more and more. The Dutch coach against Bayern will have to do without Eriksen, Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez and Malacia, Tuchel on the other hand is expected to field the starting lineup.
The Prediction
Last September it was Bayern Munich who came out on top 4-3, and this time too it promises to be an eventful contest. Manchester United in the cup has conceded a whopping 14 goals in 5 games and is unlikely to be able to keep its goal unbroken against a Bayern Munich side that will not go to England in flip-flops, despite already being sure of qualification and first place. We imagine a more prolific second half than the first: in the second half, by necessity, the Red Devils will have to unbalance and try everything. A draw cannot be ruled out in a match in which the total goals could be at least four.
The probable lineups of Manchester United-Bayern Munich
MANCHESTER UNITED (4-2-3-1): Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Shaw, Reguilón; McTominay, Amrabat; Antony, Bruno Fernandes, Rashford; Højlund.
BAYERN MONACO (4-2-3-1): Neuer; Laimer, Upamecano, Kim, Davies; Kimmich, Goretzka; Sané, Müller, Coman; Kane.
