Bayern Munich defeated Manchester United 1-0 in the sixth Group A match of the 2023-24 season at Old Trafford in Manchester, England on the 13th (Korea time). Kim Min-jae, who started on the day, showed his amazing defense and completely blocked Manchester United’s offense.

Erik ten Hag, the manager of the home team United, brought up the 4-3-3 formation. The front-line three-top consisted of Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hoylun and Antony. Bruno Fernandes, Sofiane Amrabat and Scott McTominay started the midfield. Luke Shaw, Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire and Diogo Dalot were selected as the back four. The goalkeeper’s gloves were worn by Andre Onana.
Varane, who was rumored to have feuded with Coach Ten Hag, has finally returned to the starting lineup. Varane is a player who established Manchester United’s main central defensive line with Lisandro Martinez until last season. Although he suffered from frequent injuries, he played his part in the starting lineup to some extent. However, although he was not injured recently, he has been pushed back in the starting lineup one after another. Immediately, local media raised rumors of discord between Coach Ten Hag and Varane. Coach Ten Hag even completely turned a blind eye to Varane by using left-back Shaw as the central defender instead of Varane, a professional central defender.
However, this decision resulted in the worst result in the previous match against Bournemouth in the 16th round of the Premier League. United invited Bournemouth to Old Trafford, where they suffered an 0-3 defeat to Bournemouth, who were ranked 15th in the league, just before the match. Manchester United fans were stunned by the result of the match and insisted that Baran start instead of Shaw as the central defender. And manager Ten Hag finally started Baran on the day.
Thomas Tuchel, the coach of the away team Munich, responded in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Harry Kane was deployed at the front line, and Leroy Janne, Jamal Musiala and Kingsley Coman were selected at the second line. Leon Goretzka and Joshua Kimmich started at the third line. Four-back consisted of Alfonso Davis, Kim Min-jae, Dayo Upamecano and Noussair Mazrai. Manuel Neuer wore goalkeeper gloves.
For Munich, the outcome of the match on the day was not that important. Compared to Manchester United, Copenhagen, and Galatasaray in the same group, the team secured the top spot in the group, advancing to the round of 16. However, Tuchel deployed all the key players in lieu of the rotation at the match. It was because of the match against Frankfurt, which was held just before the game.
Munich had suffered a humiliating 1-5 defeat by Frankfurt in the 14th round of the German Bundesliga in the 2023-24 season on the 9th. Marmusi gave up the first goal in the 12th minute of the first half and Ebimbe allowed one more goal. With momentum, Frankfurt tapped Munich tirelessly. Larsson made it 3-0 in the 36th minute of the first half, and Ebimbe completed his second goal in the 5th minute of the second half. Knauff then scored another goal in the 15th minute of the second half. Munich tried to chase down Kimihi’s comeback goal in the 44th minute of the first half, but it was a score that came too late to turn things around.
Tuchel expressed his determination to win Manchester United away to make up for the disgraceful loss to Frankfurt, and eventually brought up the strongest starting lineup he could put forward.
