In a significant blow to Manchester United’s preparations for a pivotal Champions League clash against Bayern Munich
In a significant blow to Manchester United‘s preparations for a pivotal Champions League clash against Bayern Munich, the notable absence of star forwards Marcus Rashford and Antony Martial from the team’s training session has raised concerns, reported by GOAL.
The upcoming match against Bayern holds immense importance for United, as they need a victory to secure a coveted spot in the Champions League last-16.
Both Rashford and Martial were reported to be unwell, forcing them to withdraw from the training session at the Carrington center. Rashford, who started on the bench in United’s recent disappointing 3-0 loss to Bournemouth, and Martial, who played 56 minutes in that game, are integral components of United’s attacking arsenal.
Their absence adds to the challenges faced by United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, who has been under scrutiny due to the team’s inconsistent performances. In the Champions League, United has managed only one win in five matches, and in the Premier League, they have suffered seven defeats in 16 games.
The looming clash against Bayern Munich is crucial for United’s aspirations in the Champions League, and a positive result is imperative to ease the pressure on Ten Hag and improve the team’s standings in both domestic and European competitions.

As the team gears up for this critical encounter, Ten Hag will be optimistic that Rashford and Martial recover from their illness and return to training on Tuesday. Their presence will be vital to provide additional options and offensive prowess in the must-win fixture against Bayern Munich on Wednesday, December 13.
Manchester United will be back in action in the UEFA Champions League tomorrow, hosting German Giants Bayern Munich at the Old Trafford Stadium. The Red Devils will be holding on to hope in this encounter as they need a win against Bayern Munich to stand a better chance of qualifying for the next round of the competition.
Bayern Munich are a topside and also one of the genuine contenders for the Champions League title this season. The Bavarians have a solid team and it will be no surprise if they defeat Manchester United once again in the tournament tomorrow.
Well, in today’s article, I will be sharing Manchester United’s strongest possible lineup to play their next Champions League game against Bayern Munich. Let’s take a look.
4-2-3-1 Formation.
Goalkeeper: Andre Onana.
Andre Onana will remain Manchester United’s first-choice goalkeeper irrespective of his poor run of form in the Champions League this season.
Defenders: Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw.
I think Erik Ten Hag needs to stop using Luke Shaw as a centre-back for Man Utd when he clearly has Raphael Varane to use in a defensive partnership with Harry Maguire. Luke Shaw should be played in his left-back position for Man Utd while Diogo Dalot handles the right-back position.
Midfielders: Scott McTominay, Sofyan Amrabat, and Bruno Fernandes.
It will be ideal for Manchester United to use two defensive-minded players in Scott McTominay and Sofyan Amrabat in the middle of the park while Bruno Fernandes concerns himself with contributing to the team’s attack.
Forwards: Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Højlund, and Marcus Rashford.
Marcus Rashford will be back in action for Manchester United in the Champions League after serving his one-match suspension. The English International will form a fierce frontline setup with Rasmus Højlund and Alejandro Garnacho.
