Man Utd set to host the Table Toppers Bayern Munich in Group A of UCL

Manchester United's ups and downs in performance in the 2023/2024 season can be grateful for. This inconsistency could be a surprising aspect that threatens Bayern Munich. The Red Devils will host Munich at Old Trafford on Tuesday. This is the final match between the two clubs in Group A of the 2023/2024 Champions League. This contest is full of pressure for Man United as the host and they must win if they want to maintain their hopes of qualifying for the group phase.

This mission seems almost impossible if you look at the performance of the two teams in the standings. Munich is at the top of the standings with four matches and one draw with a total of 13 points. Meanwhile, Man United has only won once in the last five group-stage matches. That's what makes the English giants now sink to the bottom of the standings with only four points collected. Even so, Erik ten Hag feels that Man United still has hope. He is optimistic that Man United is adrift now and can still beat anyone. "If our spirit is right and we can execute the game well, then we can beat anyone," said the Man United manager on the club's official website.

Interestingly, the Dutch coach's optimism stems from the inconsistency of his team. Even though Manchester United often gets bad results, it is not uncommon for Man United to appear frightening. “I think this is what our team is like now. We are not consistent. "That's clear," he explained. “And I think that's where our strength is. "We sometimes have very good performances," he explained again. Meanwhile, Man United is not certain to qualify from the group if, in another match, FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray beat each other.

Man United can only qualify if they win and the other two teams draw. Man United is vulnerable to being placed into the Europa League if one team wins.
