It is do-or-die tonight for Manchester United as they face Bayern Munich in the Champions League needing results to go their way to reach the knockout stage.
The Red Devils are not in control of their own fate going into the final round of Group A fixtures, which sees them bottom of the group and a point below Copenhagen and Galatasaray, who face each other.
Victory is therefore essential for United, who were smashed 3-0 by Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Saturday. Beating Bayern combined with a draw in the other group game would then see United through to the last-16, while a Europa League consolation spot is on the cards if one end of the bargain is not held up.

However, it is not only Erik ten Hag's side hoping to bounce back from a bad defeat with Bayern hammered 5-1 at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Despite having already sealed top spot, it means the Germans have a point to prove and Harry Kane will certainly fancy getting back to winning ways on his club return to English soil.
