Manchester United's Under-19s get their UEFA Youth League campaign under way on Wednesday afternoon, against Bayern Munich's youngsters at the German club's training campus.

The young Reds are in action at 15:00 BST - five hours before Erik ten Hag's senior side take on the Bundesliga champions at the Allianz Arena in the Champions League.

MUTV subscribers in the UK are able to watch the Youth League encounter live in the United App or on ManUtd.com.

Unfortunately the game cannot be shown live outside of the UK due to UEFA broadcasting restrictions.
