Manchester United\u2019s inconsistent Champions League campaign reaches it\u2019s next dramatic stage as the Red Devils welcome Bayern Munich to Old Trafford for the final match of the group stages. <\/p>\n
United have four points from their five games so far having beaten FC Copenhagen at home and drawn 3-3 with Galatasaray last time out. They are bottom of Group A but there is a chance they could still make it into the knockout rounds. A victory over Bayern this evening would put the Red Devils on seven points but they would also need Copenhagen and Galatasaray to play out a draw to get through. <\/p>\n
The best outcome would, perhaps, be for United to win and finish third meaning they drop into the Europa League but even that seems like a distant hope against a Bayern side that looks seriously impressive. Thomas Tuchel\u2019s men have already reached the last-16 and are unbeaten in the group. However, they drew 0-0 with Copenhagen in their previous Champions League match and were heavily beaten 5-1 by Eintracht Frankfurt in their last Bundesliga outing so there is hope for a shock United win. <\/p>\n

However, the Red Devils are also reliant on Copenhagen and Galatasaray playing out a draw in their fixture taking place at the same time. <\/p>\n If either of those teams win the result at Old Trafford will not matter as United would be unable to finish second. A consolation prize would be a third place finish and a spot in the Europa League yet for that to happen Erik ten Hag\u2019s men need to defeat Bayern. That is the most crucial aspect of tonight\u2019s match. <\/p>\n We\u2019ll have all the updates, team news and action throughout the night so stick around as we build up to kick off at 8pm. <\/p>\nMan Utd vs Bayern Munich prediction<\/h3>\n
