Manchester United’s Champions League hopes are hanging by a thread as they host Bayern Munich at Old Trafford tonight.
Erik ten Hag’s side must beat the German champions, who are already through as Group A winners, to have any chance of reaching the last-16.
But United must also hope results go their way and would be knocked out of the Champions League if either FC Copenhagen or Galatasary win in the other Group A fixture.
United, who were thrashed 3-0 by Bournemouth on Sunday, were beaten 4-3 by Harry Kane’s Bayern in the reverse fixture and have conceded the most goals of any team in the Champions League this season.
A chaotic 3-3 draw in Galatasaray last time out has left United needing a miracle to advance and their fate is out of their hands. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the Group A decider, and get the latest match odds here.
