Bayern Munich vs Manchester United LIVE! Champions League result, match stream and latest updates today

Manchester United’s Champions League return ended in disappointment as Harry Kane struck from the spot for Bayern Munich in an entertaining 4-3 win kicked off by Andre Onana’s clanger.

The European heavyweights are at very different stages right now, with the perennial Bundesliga champions second favourites to win a competition that the Red Devils did not even feature in last season.

Absentee-hit United began brightly enough at the Allianz Arena, only for Serge Gnabry to score shortly after ex-Manchester City forward Leroy Sane’s effort squirmed past summer signing Onana.

Rasmus Hojlund scored his first goal for the club but Kane quickly slammed home a penalty, with Casemiro scoring either side of Mathys Tel’s stoppage-time strike as the Red Devils suffered a fourth defeat in five matches.

Few could argue with the eventual outcome, but United had started brightly in Bavaria and should have gone ahead through Facundo Pellistri or Christian Eriksen inside four minutes.

Bayern, who were without suspended boss Thomas Tuchel on the touchline, shook off initial sluggishness, with Sane’s strike beating distraught Onana before Gnabry fired home four minutes later.

Hojlund’s effort off the heel of Kim Min-jae shortly after half-time brought hope to Erik ten Hag’s men, only for Eriksen to soon be adjudged to have handled.

Ex-Tottenham team-mate Kane scored the resulting spot-kick, with Casemiro’s brace sandwiching Tel’s strike during a dramatic conclusion to the Group A opener.

Andre Onana addresses Manchester United mistake in Bayern Munich loss

Wednesday 20 September 2023 22:34 , Jonathan Gorrie

Andre Onana admits his Manchester United career is yet to get off the ground after making a mistake during the Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich.

The Cameroon international arrived during the summer transfer window as a replacement for long-serving goalkeeper David De Gea, having worked with manager Erik ten Hag at Ajax.

Heralded for his ability to play out from the back during his time with Inter Milan, Onana has struggled during a rocky start to the season for United.

Bayern put four past Man United on Champions League return

Wednesday 20 September 2023 22:09 , Jonathan Gorrie

Bayern Munich struck twice in four minutes in the first half to set them on their way to a 4-3 victory over an embattled Manchester United on Wednesday and make a winning start in Champions League Group A.

Goals from Leroy Sane, who made the most of Andre Onana’s mistake, and Serge Gnabry in the 28th and 32nd minutes put the hosts firmly in the driving seat with injury-hit United, who have now lost their last three matches, pulling a goal back in the 49th through Rasmus Hojlund’s deflected effort.

United have shown promise but the defensive issues remain.

It leaves them with a mountain to climb.

HT: Bayern Munich 2-0 Man United

Wednesday 20 September 2023 20:49 , Jonathan Gorrie

A moment of madness from Onana allowed Sane to open the scoring before a moment of brilliance from Musiala teed up Gnabry for the second.

Bayern vs Man United: CHANCE FOR BAYERN!

Wednesday 20 September 2023 20:30 , Jonathan Gorrie

Wednesday 20 September 2023 20:20 , Jonathan Gorrie

18 mins: Onana passes into Dalot, who pushes up into midfield and finds Rashford. He’s got the beating of makeshift right-back Konrad Laimer and manages to create space for a shot, albeit from a tight angle.

04 mins: How did that not go in?!

Eriksen with a lovely sweeped ball over to Pellistri, though Alphonso Davies does very well to just get enough on the ball to prevent the winger tapping in at the back post.

Ulreich then keeps Eriksen’s follow up out.

Bayern vs Man United: Early scare

Wednesday 20 September 2023 20:05 , Jonathan Gorrie

Wednesday 20 September 2023 19:49 , Jonathan Gorrie

“He’s got a lot of speed, and Pellistri can match that. Davies is not a great defender and his dribbling, so yeah, a good game for it [to start Pellistri]. We can have a lot of possession and with Bruno in the No.10, he’s creative and a very good presser as well,” he told TNT Sports.

Dimitar Berbatov: Man United made a mistake not signing Kane - I expect him to score against them tonight

Wednesday 20 September 2023 18:37 , Jonathan Gorrie

“The pressure is already off Kane because he’s been scoring goals. He knows Man United well and he’ll be happy to be facing a familiar foe. He’ll be ready to score goals and prove yet again that he scores goals for fun.

“When we look back at all the talk of United getting Kane, you can say it was a mistake not to get him, but not the biggest because no player is bigger than the club.

“I don’t know why it didn’t happen, but it didn’t. Man United now have a young, hungry forward in Hojlund who will be desperate to score goals.

“Bayern Munich as a team are a machine. They are one of the favourites for the Champions League this season. Man United will find it difficult to play against them if they continue the way they have been playing recently.

“Unfortunately, based on how they’ve been doing and if they play anything like they have done so far this season, Man United will lose this game.”

The former United forward was speaking to Betfair.

Why is Thomas Tuchel not managing Bayern Munich vs Man United?

Wednesday 20 September 2023 18:29 , Jonathan Gorrie

Manchester United will face a Bayern Munich side without Thomas Tuchel on the touchline, but still a few familiar faces in the dugout.

Tuchel is still serving a Champions League ban after being sent off during last season’s quarter-final defeat to Manchester City, meaning his coaching team will step up in his place.

Assistant coaches Anthony Barry and Zsolt Low will take charge of the team, both having previously worked with Tuchel at Chelsea.

Ten Hag explains why Man United signed Hojlund over Kane

Wednesday 20 September 2023 18:20 , Jonathan Gorrie

Erik ten Hag insists Manchester United do not regret signing Rasmus Hojlund over Harry Kane this summer.

United made the England captain their priority striker signing at the beginning of the transfer window, only to move on to other targets over reported concerns over the cost of the deal and possible reluctance from Kane himself.

Bayern ended up agreeing a deal worth at least £100million for Kane, who turned 30 in July, as United wrapped up the signing of 20-year-old Rasmus Hojlund for £72m.

Didi Hamman: Bayern expect a rout tonight

Wednesday 20 September 2023 18:01 , Jonathan Gorrie

“It’ll be interesting to see. Man United may not be what they once were, but they’re still a massive club. I think it’ll be a tricky game for Bayern because they’ll be expected to win and anything less than a 2 or 3-nil win will be seen as disappointing.

“That expectation can be on players’ minds, especially when your opponents are being presented as underdogs.”

Ten Hag claims he has ‘never’ started first-choice XI at Man United

Wednesday 20 September 2023 17:41 , Jonathan Gorrie

Erik ten Hag believes he has “never” been able to name his first-choice starting XI at Manchester United.

It has been a frustrating start to the season for the Dutchman and his side, with a 3-1 defeat to Brighton over the weekend leaving United 13th in the Premier League table with just two wins from their opening five games.

They now travel to Bayern Munich to start their Champions League campaign, with Copenhagen and Galatasaray the other two sides in Group A.

Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are the lates United players to be ruled out with injury, joining a list of unavailable stars including Mason Mount, Raphael Varane and Luke Shaw.

Asked whether he has been frustrated by United’s struggles to implement the kind of football his Ajax side produced, Ten Hag pointed to the injury issues he has had to contend with since arriving at Old Trafford last summer.

Alan Smith: I thought Man United would sign Harry Kane

Wednesday 20 September 2023 17:37 , Jonathan Gorrie

“I thought United would’ve signed him, if I’m being honest. Whether it was an age thing or whatever else, I don’t know. There was a lot of speculation. They obviously went for Rasmus Højlund, but he seems more like one for the future. I’m not sure why the Kane deal never happened. Maybe Kane didn’t want to play for another English team. It’s a shame we lost him in the Premier League.

“He’s started really well at Bayern, and it’ll be interesting to see what happens in the game. Bayern are a huge club in world football, and they probably signed Kane with hopes of winning the Champions League. United’s loss will be Bayern’s gain! The game will be an interesting barometer for United to see where they are. The season has got off to a weird start with the early break, and once the league season really starts, we’ll see how good these clubs really are.”

Prediction: Bayern to win

Wednesday 20 September 2023 17:32 , Jonathan Gorrie

It’s hard to back United in any form, at the moment. So bad against Brighton despite a positive start and without key players, Bayern will be licking their lips.
