Manchester United finds themselves in a must-win situation as they strive for qualification to the next round of the competition. Manager Erik Ten Hag has adopted a resolute stance ahead of this crucial match, rallying for support from the passionate home crowd under the dazzling floodlights of Old Trafford.
Ten Hag emphasized the intimidating atmosphere of Old Trafford for visiting teams, stating, “Old Trafford is not a pleasant place for our opponents… As long as I am in charge, we stand united. We must invigorate the fans.”
As it stands, Manchester United occupies the bottom spot in Group A. Their path to advancement hinges on a victory against Bayern Munich, coupled with the outcome of the concurrent fixture between FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray, ideally ending in a draw. Any other outcome in these matches would spell elimination for Manchester United from the competition.
