Manchester United face Bayern Munich tonight on their return to the Champions League, with Erik ten Hag and his depleted squad under pressure to avoid a third successive loss
Manchester United returned to the Champions League on Wednesday, but defeat in their mammoth matchup against Bayern Munich continued their difficult start to the new season.
With three reverses in their opening five Premier League games, Saturday’s embarrassing 3-1 loss at home to Brighton gave boss Erik ten Hag a brutal reminder of his task this term. The Red Devils manager, who is under mounting pressure and even causing concern among staff following questionable business in the summer transfer window, was unable to prevent a 4-3 defeat in an action-packed game at the Allianz Arena.
Off the field, United still face issues concerning Jadon Sancho, who was banished from first-team training last week, and Antony, who’s on a leave of absence due to facing allegations of assault, all of which he denies. There were some positives from the Bayern game but the result wasn’t one of them, and United will be after a response against Burnley on Saturday.
There’s also the small matter of continuing discussion around the takeover, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani. Some 10 months have passed since the Glazers began a process to explore “strategic alternatives” for the club, and no resolution has been reached.
