      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.
      When is Man Utd vs Bayern Munich?

      Manchester United’s thrilling Champions League match against Bayern Munich will take place on Tuesday, December 12.
      It is scheduled to get underway at 8pm GMT.
      Old Trafford is the allocated arena for this huge encounter and it can host approximately 74,310 roaring fans.

      And the north London outfit then failed to reclaim top spot after losing to Aston Villa, forcing Mikel Arteta to storm out of the director’s box.
      But the Gunners gaffer will have the chance to go back to the drawing board and experiment against PSV as Champions League last-16 qualification is already sealed.
      Furthermore, it provides Arteta with the opportunity to rest players ahead of Arsenal’s upcoming Brighton battle.

      Man Utd ‘make first move to sign Bundesliga striker who’s scored 16 goals in just 11 games and will cost just £17m’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have “inquired” about one of Europe’s deadliest strikers ahead of the January transfer window.United manager Erik ten Hag needs to add some firepower up front amid a painful campaign in the Premier League as well as the Champions League.

      Marcus Rashford has failed to replicate last season’s stunning numbers, £72million signing Rasmus Hojlund is goalless in the Prem, Antony is poor and Jadon Sancho is axed from the first team.
      That is why the Red Devils have turned their attention to Stuttgart star Serhou Guirassy.
      Guirassy has taken the Bundesliga by storm with a staggering total of 16 goals in 11 league appearances.
      According to Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg, the Manchester giants have already put the wheels in motion as they weigh up a move for the centre-forward.
      Read More on Man Utd
      The 27-year-old is one of Ten Hag’s top January targets as he also poses as a bargain move that may cost less than €20m (£17m).
      However, negotiations are still at an “early stage” between United, Stuttgart and the Guinea international’s camp.
      Nevertheless, Guirassy is open for “concrete talks” with Ten Hag’s side next month.
      But the forward prefers to stay at the MHPArena until the end of the season.
      Most read in Football
      CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFER
      Guirassy has a contract until 2026, therefore Stuttgart are not in a hurry to sell him.
      Plus, the Guinean star’s goals have skyrocketed Sebastian Hoeness’ side to third place in the Bundesliga table.
      Therefore, the German outfit won’t be keen to offload their best player as they aim to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
      Plus, Guirassy should be called up by Guinea manager Kaba Diawara for next month’s Africa Cup of Nations, which means United would be deprived of his services for up to a month if they signed him. More

      I’m a former England and Champions League star, but I’m embarrassed to say I played for West Ham

      by

      FORMER Newcastle star Kieron Dyer has opened up about his ill-fated spell at West Ham.The former winger played for the Hammers between 2007 and 2011, making 35 appearances for the East London club during that time as he struggled with injury.

      Unbeknown to him at the time, he was struggling with a liver condition which contributed massively to his susceptibility to injury.
      In an interview with TalkSPORT yesterday, Dyer admitted that despite this, he gets “embarassed” when people call him a West Ham player because he never got to put his best foot forward for the Hammers.
      Dyer signed for West Ham when he was 28 in what was meant to be the prime of his career.
      But he was desperately unlucky with injury during his spell at the Boleyn.
      READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWS
      The winger broke his leg just 10 days after making his debut for the club.
      At the time, Dyer was unfairly maligned for his inability to stay fit – but his diagnosis with a liver condition after he hung up his boots meant things made sense.
      In 2019, he was diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis – an incurable liver disease.
      Dyer received a liver transplant to save his life this year.

      Dyer says that when he was playing he was unaware of his condition, and this contributed to his susceptibility to injury – although he says Hammers fans were always supportive of him.
      He told Jim White’s TalkSPORT show: “I still get embarrassed being called a West Ham player.
      “It pains me because I went there at the peak of my career. I was one of the top-paid players and I could just never stay fit, I feel embarrassed for the fans and for myself.”
      When Jim White replied that those injuries were likely caused by his liver condition he said: “Yeah of course.
      “But at the time, to be on the wages that I was on, it pains me because they should have had the best of me.
      “They had probably seen the worst of me, I like the fans as well, they were always respectful to me, I just couldn’t get on the pitch for them.”
      Dyer had previously played in the Champions League during his time at Newcastle, and won 33 caps for England.
      He would leave Upton Park in 2011 to join Ipswich Town, his former club, on a short term loan deal.
      After his spell at Ipswich, he joined QPR on a permanent basis in 2011 where he made just five league appearances.
      Following a short spell at Middlesbrough, Dyer retired in 2013.

      Since hanging up his boots, Dyer has entered the world of coaching.
      He currently works as a coach at Chesterfield in a consultancy role.

      Andre Onana reveals four-letter nickname Man Utd team-mates gave him after he declared dream of being a police officer

      by

      ANDRE ONANA has revealed the nickname given to him by his Manchester United team-mates after revealing his dream to be a copper.The goalkeeper joined the Red Devils in a £47million transfer from Inter Milan in July and has since starred in every competitive match.
      Andre Onana has been given a new nickname at Man UtdCredit: Getty
      However, some of his performances in recent months have come into question following a series of mistakes.
      Onana’s most recent error came in a crucial Champions League clash with Galatasaray last week.
      Following a free-kick from Hakim Ziyech, he let the ball slip through his gloves as the Turkish Super Lig side pushed to come back from 3-1 down.
      The Red Devils were eventually held to a 3-3 draw, a result that put their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages in major doubt.
      Read More on Man Utd
      Despite his below-par performances Onana has established himself as a big personality among the United dressing room, so much so that he has been given a new nickname.
      His Man Utd team-mates now call him “the Boss” because he loves taking responsibility and dreamed of working for the police.
      Speaking on the official Premier League YouTube channel, Onana revealed that he would have become a police officer had he not made it as a footballer.
      He said: “I think I’d be a police officer, as I love to take responsibility. That’s why even my teammates call me ‘the boss’.

      “I love politics too, I’m always keen to learn about it. It helps me understand how the world works.
      “For me, working as a police officer is assuming one of the most honourable jobs in the world.”
      Man Utd are at risk of losing Onana in January, with the goalkeeper set to join up with the Cameroon squad for the Africa Cup of Nations.
      Altay Bayindir would likely then step in for him for the month. More

      Champions League and World Cup star who sparked manhunt after retiring loses fight over £6million loss in housing empire

      by

      EX-LIVERPOOL right-back Steve Finnan who once triggered a bizarre manhunt has lost a legal battle to claim £6 million in compensation.The 47-year-old – briefly untraceable in 2015 – blamed lawyers for the collapse of the housing empire he built with brother, Sean.
      Ex-Liverpool right-back Steve Finnan has lost a legal battle to claim £6 million in compensationCredit: PA:Press Association
      It turned out to be a disaster and the pair fell out leaving Mr Finnan, who is Irish, alleging to be more than £6 million out of pocket.
      Representing himself in court he sued former lawyers Charles Russell Speechlys LLP.
      But this week the case was kicked out by High Court judge Master Katherine McQuail.
      She said the ex-footballer couldn’t prove he was any worse off after seeking legal advice than he would have been otherwise.
      Read More football stories
      The Irishman was in the Reds lineup which clawed back the legendary 2005 Champions League final win against AC Milan in Istanbul.
      Finnan is the only footballer to play in the World Cup, Champions League, UEFA Cup, Intertoto Cup, all four levels of English league football and the conference.
      But in June 2005 he was arrested after running over an 81-year-old man from Liverpool who later died from his injuries.
      After retiring in 2010, his decision to keep a low profile saw fans launch a bizarre campaign to find him.
      Most read in Football
      It came as organisers failed to track him down for a 2015 reunion of the Champions League winning team – he was found “safe and well” a short time later.
      Unlike former teammates such as Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher, Finnan had gone into property not punditry.
      He bankrolled a south west London-based property business, run through two companies which he owned with Sean, who managed the firm.
      Among the portfolio was a massive house near Wimbledon Common, properties in nearby Ridgeway Place, and several flats elsewhere.
      Master McQuail said the “first expression of the claimant’s concerns” about the business had come in an email from Mr Finnan to the companies’ solicitor in 2016.
      She said he complained that despite “significant funding from the claimant by way of loans, the companies appeared to have no money, at least in part because Sean had spent it personally.”
      He said money had been wasted on legal issues which were “down to Sean”, that his brother’s dealings with a contractor had been “needlessly expensive” and that there was a risk the companies would default on loans.
      Mr Finnan instructed Charles Russell Speechlys to file “unfair prejudice” petitions against Sean who denied misconduct but admitted their relationship had broken down.
      He changed lawyers but the case did not go to trial and the brothers settled outside court, with Sean agreeing to transfer his shares to Mr Finnan and to pay him £4 million.
      That sum was not paid and in 2019 Mr Finnan had his brother made bankrupt claiming he only got £187,570 from the sale of the company and £89,345 following the sale of another property.
      Amid the ordeal he auctioned off his Champions League winners’ medal.
      Mr Finnan went on to sue his former solicitors, claiming that he should have been advised to request repayment of director’s loans rather than file the “unfair prejudice” petitions.
      He claimed he lost £3.3m in loans to the companies, £2.6m in shares, about £400,000 in lawyers’ bills, as well as other money, totalling more than £6m.
      But the solicitors said Mr Finnan was determined to pursue legal proceedings against his brother.
      And they said Mr Finnan failed to show how he could have got out from the ordeal in any better position than he in fact did because companies had no money to repay the loans anyway.
      Master McQuail said Mr Finnan had in fact made demands for repayment of the directors’ loans – and got nothing.
      She added: “Neither Sean nor the companies responded by meeting the demands with payment at any stage after Charles Russell Speechlys were instructed.”
      She said Mr Finnan’s claims were “contradicted” by his own evidence and his correspondence showed this.
      Master McQuail added how there was “no reasonable ground” for bringing the claim and struck it out.

      Limerick-born Mr Finnan began his career with non-league Welling United, rising through the football pyramid to play for Liverpool between 2003 and 2008.
      He played for Ireland 52 times. More
