Bayern Munich vs Man Utd: Crisis-hit United face Kane and Co in tasty Champions League clash – stream, TV, team news


MANCHESTER UNITED open their 2023/24 Champions League account with a tough trip to Bayern Munich – and Red Devils fans are fearing the worst.

Erik ten Hag’s men were completely picked apart by Brighton at Old Trafford on the weekend.

And this result follows a 3-1 defeat to Arsenal which led to Jadon Sancho being axed from the first team.

However, the United boss will certainly feel as if his team can beat Thomas Tuchel-less Bayern who haven’t been firing on all cylinders this season.

But the Bavarians have a prolific ex-Premier League striker up top in Harry Kane, and he’ll be desperate to add to United’s current woes.

When is Bayern vs Man Utd?

  • Manchester United travel to Bayern Munich for their opening Champions League clash on Wednesday, September 20.
  • It is scheduled to get underway at 8pm BST.
  • Allianz Arena in Germany is the chosen venue for this blockbuster match and it can host approximately 70,000 fans.

However, the Bayern boss is expecting to welcome new signing Raphael Guerreiro back after a muscular injury, while Harry Kane will most certainly start up top against his former Premier League rivals.

Elsewhere, United fans could finally see summer signing Sofyan Amrabat make his debut but he’ll need to be further assessed alongside Raphael Varane and Mason Mount

However, United have confirmed that Aaron Wan-Bissaka is out for a “few weeks” with a hamstring concern.

Furthermore, Jadon Sancho and Antony are expected to miss out due to off-field issues.
