United did not produce a stellar performance at the Allianz Arena on Sunday night and an undeterred Jose Mourinho alluded to that afterwards, pointing to the contrasting experience levels of each team, but there were still a handful of encouraging displays from our lads across the park. Victor Lindelof made his first appearance after the World Cup in Russia and looked sharp at centre-back, while David De Gea made a number of smart saves to frustrate the hosts. Our new signing Fred also maintained his promising start to life as a Red with another energetic outing in midfield. Check out these player stats from the match 👇

"Yeah, he wanted it. He always wanted it. Of course, he respected the big Rooney and then Zlatan wanted to have it. Of course, he was in the shadow, waiting for the opportunity and now the shirt is empty. It's something fantastic for the kid, let's give the shirt to him."

"Finally, it's over. Finally, such a difficult pre-season is over. The players were, once more, brilliant, they could not have done better than what they did. Fantastic experience for the boys. "There was a moment I was looking to the area and they was Axel at centre-back to left, Demetri at left wing-back, Garner in midfield on the left and Chong. At the same time it was Lewandowski on Axel, Robben on Mitchell, Goretzka on Garner and Sule on Chong. It was fantastic, absolutely fantastic. We were playing against their best team, it was their complete squad apart from Tuliso."

“I’ve not trained for 10 days, two weeks, but this is what it’s about. It’s about feeling sharp and preparing yourself for the the first game on Friday next week. “Obviously I need to improve my sharpness a little bit, but fitness-wise I had a 10-day break where I didn’t do anything so I don’t feel too bad. The more I train and the more minutes I get, the fitter I’ll get. "Fitness-wise I don’t feel too bad. I didn’t get many minutes at the World Cup, but I felt with the training, it was sharp and intense, and it’s what you need to make sure you feel a part of it. I’ve come back and I feel alright and am ready to go."

While the 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich is of course disappointing, a workout against top-quality opposition will surely benefit the Reds ahead of the most important match to come – Leicester City at Old Trafford, when the 2018/19 Premier League season begins at Old Trafford next Friday.

The Reds end pre-season with a narrow defeat. Javi Martinez's second-half header ultimately proved to be the difference between the sides.
88 MINS
What a great ball that was from Boateng, but the Dutch winger was rightly ruled offside.
87 MINS
Robben had the ball in the back of the net only to see the assistant's flag raised.
86 MINS
Rafinha's low cross is nearly met by Goretzka inside the United box. He gets his feet muddled up and fails to make a connection. It would almost certainly have been a goal had he met it.
84 MINS
Herrera is off, James Garner on
80 MINS
Bayern nearly add a second. Kingsley Coman cuts the ball back to Leon Goretzka and the midfielder skies his shot.
79 MINS
Lee Grant, Demi Mitchell, Tathith Chong and Axel Tuanzebe replace De Gea, Shaw, Fred and Lindelof.
