WHAT'S THE LATEST TEAM NEWS?

Erik told journalists following our defeat against the Seagulls on Saturday that one player could be ready to return from injury in midweek, although his identity is yet to be determined.

Sofyan Amrabat, Mason Mount and Raphael Varane all missed out in M16, as did long-term absentees Amad, Kobbie Mainoo, Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw. Antony and Jadon Sancho are unavailable.

The former three seem to be the closest to returning, but we await further details from the boss when he gives his pre-match press conference from Germany on Tuesday.

As for the hosts, experienced goalkeeper Manuel Neuer remains out of action following a leg break he sustained last December. New signing Raphael Guerreiro is back in training after a muscular injury, while Kingsley Coman missed Friday's meeting with Bayer Leverkusen for similar reasons.

HEAD-TO-HEAD RECORD

The Reds have faced Bayern Munich 11 times in our history, winning on two occasions, drawing five times and losing four. Our last meeting came back in 2014 under then-manager David Moyes, as United lost 3-1 at Allianz Arena, thanks to goals from Mario Mandzukic, Thomas Muller and Arjen Robben.

Most fans will of course remember our 1999 Champions League success against Wednesday's opponents, with Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer both scoring in injury time to complete our famous Treble that same year.

OPPOSITION WATCH

Bayern's ranks have, of course, been boosted by the arrival of England captain Harry Kane this summer, who ended his long-term association with Tottenham to join the German giants.

Tuchel's side drew 2-2 with Bayer Leverkusen on Friday evening, with Kane and Leon Goretzka both on the scoresheet. Exequiel Palacios scored a penalty in injury-time to ensure the points were shared, ending Bayern's 100 per cent start to the campaign.

The Bavarians are currently second in the Bundesliga after four games played, with Leverkusen top on goal difference.

Former Chelsea youngster Jamal Musiala is also one to watch, having just returned from injury last week. The 20-year-old's creativity in midfield is something United will have to keep a close eye on, with the midfielder scoring 16 goals and assisting the same number in all competitions last season.
