The Allianz Arena was in full swing when Rasmus Hojland netted a debut goal for United, providing a glimmer of hope and momentarily narrowing the scoreline. This followed after blunders from United’s goalkeeper Andre Onana and a piercing strike from Bayern’s Serge Gnabry. Yet, a late surge led by Casemiro’s double couldn’t salvage a draw for the Red Devils, as Bayern responded with a last-gasp goal.
Last season’s resurgence saw United fans brimming with optimism. However, their early 2023-24 campaign has been tumultuous, evidenced further by this European setback. In contrast, even without their key strategist, Thomas Tuchel, Bayern manifested their European prowess, extending their group-stage unbeaten run to an imposing 35 games.
As Manchester United look to rebound swiftly in their upcoming Premier League fixture against Burnley, Bayern’s thrilling win solidifies their early dominance in Group A of the Champions League.
