Our prediction for this Champions League match:
All eyes will be on Old Trafford when Manchester United and Bayern Munich face each other in the Group A derby. The Red Devils need to win this clash if they are to stay in European competitions and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the mighty Bavarians. All Casemiro, Eriksen, Diallo, Lindelof, Martinez, and Mount remain in the recovery room, while both Rasmus Hojlund and Marcus Rashford should be recalled to the starting XI after the duo came off the bench in a shocking 3-0 loss to Bournemouth.
The Bundesliga champions, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-1 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt at the weekend. As Thomas Tuchel’s men have already booked their spot in the Champions League knockout stages, we are tempted to place our bets on Man Utd. Fit-again midfielder Jamal Musiala should play some part in the last group game, while Serge Gnabry has joined Matthijs de Ligt and Gabriel Marusic in the treatment room.
Highlighted Player (Leroy Sane):
Leroy Sane began his senior career at Schalke 04. The pacey winger, who is capable of playing as attacking midfielder as well, made his debut for die Knappen on 20 April, 2014 against Stuttgart. Sane came as a substitute in the second half of the match, replacing Max Mayer 13 minutes before the final whistle.
He scored 11 goals in 47 league appearances for Schalke and on 2 August, 2016 he signed a deal with big-spending Premier League side Manchester City. The former Schalke footballer joined the Citizens on a five-year deal for a fee of £37 million. Sane was born in Essen on 11 January, 1996, but his father is Senegalese.
Souleymane Sane used to play for the Senegalese national football team in the past, while his mother Regina Weber was a rhythmic gymnast. Speaking of his international career, Leroy Sane has 6 caps for Germany U21 and he made his debut for the senior team on 13 November, 2015 in a 2-0 loss to France.
Highlighted Team (Manchester United):
Over the years Manchester United have established themselves as one of the greatest clubs in world football. The Red Devils have won three European Cup (Champions League) trophies and they have clinched no less than 20 Premier League titles.
A number of top-class players were part of Manchester United in the past, but, no doubt, the club’s biggest legend is coach Sir Alex Ferguson, who was in charge of the team for 26 years. During Alex Ferguson’s spell at Old Trafford the club won a number of trophies, but the Red Devils have been struggling in all competitions ever since he retired. Louis van Gaal helped Manchester United win the FA Cup trophy in the 2015/2016 season, with Jese Lingard scoring the winner in the 2-1 triumph over Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium.
The likes of Bobby Charlton, Paul Scholes, Roy Keane, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, George Best and Eric Cantona are the football stars that graced Old Trafford for Manchester United.
