Bayern Munich vs Manchester United is such a massive game, it's almost a crime that it comes as early as the Champions League group stage. It's a repeat of the 1999 final in which the Red Devils came from 1-0 down going into injury time to triumph 2-1 thanks to Sheringham, Solskjaer and all that, so you couldn't ask for a bigger opening fixture in Group A. You really don't want to miss this one today, so keep reading to find out about your live stream options.
The teams are in and Bayern Munich make just one change from the weekend as Jamal Musiala replaces Thomas Muller, with Josh Kimmich fit to start after an injury scare. Harry Kane also starts, as do Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sane and Alphonso Davies. Injury-ravaged United, meanwhile, start with Facundo Pellistri on the wing, with Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund and captain Bruno Fernandes all in from the off. Casemiro and Christian Eriksen also get the nod, with Victor Lindelof and Lisandro Martinez centre-backs and Sergio Reguilon continuing at left-back. There's plenty of youth on the bench, to go with Scott McTominay.

Bayern Munich had never played Manchester United before the start of 1998/99 season, but the last of three meetings that campaign will never be forgotten in Bavaria. United's come-from-behind victory in the final at the Camp Nou registers as Bayern's pre-eminent nadir and the German team has since dumped Red Devils out of the Champions League in their three ties since in the knockout rounds. This season, Bayern has picked up 10 Bundesliga points from a possible 12, with Harry Kane striking four in as many games since his summer move from Tottenham. Die Roten's form this term has been solid, drawing 2-2 with Bayer Leverkusen (the only other team with a 100% record at that time) at the weekend as coach Thomas Tuchel seeks a seventh European crown for the club.
Manchester United's 2023/24 form has been far from excellent. The Red Devils has lost three of their five Premier League games, with unconvincing wins against Wolves and Nottingham Forest hardly serving notice of a team likely to do damage this season. Head coach Erik ten Hag has admitted he is under pressure at Old Trafford, with disciplinary problems surrounding Jadon Sancho and Antony contributing to the crisis feeling. Summer signing Rasmus Hojlund did look good in the hour he played in the weekend defeat to Brighton and big things are expected of the pacy Dane as he settles into life in Manchester.
