Bayern Munich vs Man Utd LIVE: Champions League result and reaction after seven-goal thriller in Germany

14 mins: United are awarded a free-kick deep into Bayern’s half on the left hand side after Upamecano fouls Reguilon.

Fernades’ resulting delivery is comfortably headed away and Bayern regain possession.

11 mins: Bayern aren’t looking to comfortable at the moment. United’s pressing combined with the German side’s slopiness has allowed Erik Ten Hag’s side to look a threat so far.

8 mins: A quick one-two allows Reguilon to try and fire a ball in which ends up with a United corner.

Eriksen takes short to Rashford who gives the ball straight back, but the Danish midfielders resulting cross is punched away to safety by Ulreich.

3 mins: Chance! Bayern are dispossed near their own box, and Eriksen sends a cross to the back post where Pellistri is prevented from tapping it in through some great defending from Davies.

The loose ball falls to Eriksen who’s first time shot is well saved by Ulreich.

2 mins: Konrad Laimer sends a through ball to Leroy Sane down the right hand side, who takes a heavy touch but manages to win a corner for Bayern.

The ball is sent in but headed out for a goalkick.

Bayern Munich get the game started, and quickly send a ball long which results in a throw in for Manchester United.

Erik Ten Hag’s side seem to be pressing high onto the Bayern back line.

Last season Bayern Munich completed an unblemished group stage with six wins for the third time, which no other club has achieved in the competition.

When combined with the fact the German side have never lost to Manchester United on home soil, the size of the task tonight for Erik Ten Hag’s team becomes clear.

In ten minutes this season’s UEFA Champions League campaign will start for Erik Ten Hag and Thomas Tuchel.

Not many are tipping Manchester United for success at the Allianz Arena, and new Bayern Munich man Harry Kane will be in the spotlight as he makes his first European appearance for his new club.

Making the story even more dramatic is the fact that Kane seemed destined to join The Red Devils, but eventually signed for the German champions for a substantial fee rather than waiting out his contract to join Erik Ten Hag’s side.

Since these two sides last met almost ten years ago, Bayern have gone on to reach the quarter-finals of the competition every year, whereas United have even failed to qualify for four.

It would be quite the upset should Manchester United return to Old Trafford with a lead to defend.

TNT’s Champions League group stage coverage began yesterday with AC Milan v Newcastle, and saw Shay Given, Joe Cole and Jermaine Jenas on punditry duties.

The full list of pundits who could analyse the three midweek European games each week includes: Peter Crouch, Joe Cole, Rachel Brown-Finnis, Owen Hargreaves, Steve McManaman, Joleon Lescott, Michael Owen, Paul Scholes, and Robbie Savage.

Glenn Hoddle and fan-favourite Ally McCoist also will also feature as co-commentators.

Harry Kane defended Harry Maguire as the England captain hit out at the way the defender has been “scapegoated” amid “really unnecessary scrutiny”.

Little more than two years on from being named in the European Championship team of the tournament, the 30-year-old is now the butt of jokes to many.

Maguire’s struggle for form and game-time at Manchester United have increased the spotlight on a player that has remained an integral part of the England squad.
