The last meeting in September was a seven-goal thriller, with Bayern Munich triumphing 4-3 in the Champions League group stage.
Current Form:
Both teams endured a challenging weekend domestically. Manchester United suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Bournemouth in the Premier League, while Bayern Munich faced a shock 5-1 thrashing against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. Both sides will be eager to put those setbacks behind them and regain momentum in Europe's premier club competition.

Manchester United is expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, featuring Onana in goal, a backline of Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Shaw, and Dalot. Amrabat and Mainoo are likely to anchor the midfield, supporting an attacking trio of Antony, Fernandes, and Rashford, with Hojlund leading the line.
Bayern Munich is anticipated to deploy a similar 4-2-3-1 formation, with Neuer guarding the goal, and a defense comprising Laimer, Upamecano, Kim, and Guerreiro. Kimmich and Goretzka will control the midfield, providing service to the attacking trio of Coman, Musiala, and Sane, with Kane spearheading the attack.
