MANCHESTER UNITED host Bayern Munich in a must-win Champions League match – but three points might still not be enough.
Erik ten Hag’s men currently find themselves rock bottom of Group A after failing to hold out against Galatasaray last time out.
But United can dramatically climb above Copenhagen and Galatasaray with a victory should their group compatriots draw in the other fixture.
And Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel is expected to rest several players having already booked a last-16 spot which could also go in United’s favour.
However, the Bavarians will be determined to bounce back from their recent 5-1 Eintracht Frankfurt drubbing.
