MANCHESTER UNITED’S dismal start to the season has the potential to get even worse tonight when they begin their Champions League campaign with a trip to Bayern Munich.
Three defeats in the first five Premier League games have piled pressure on boss Erik ten Hag after a promising first year in charge at Old Trafford.
And while Bayern haven’t been in brilliant form themselves, they still look in much better shape for this Group A opener.
McBookie make the German champions 1/2 hot favourites, with Manchester United at 9/2 and the draw paying 7/2.
All eyes will be on Harry Kane after his move to Bayern from Spurs but the England skipper is too short at a best 5/6 (Bet365) for anytime scorer.
So I’m backing Leroy Sane for a goal instead at 12/5 (Unibet) with the German winger netting five times in seven games for club and country this season.
The midfield battle could be tasty and Casemiro appeals for a card at 47/20 with BetUK as he often picks up a yellow in big games.

PSV were impressive as they blew Rangers away to reach the group stage but the Dutch side face a tough opener away to Arsenal.
I can see goals in this one but BTTS is just 4/5 with Unibet while over 2.5 strikes is shorter at 5/9 with VBet.
Stats bets offer more value and dangerous PSV winger Noah Lang is 27/20 at Unibet just to have a shot on target.
Elsewhere, I’m going to double a Sevilla win at home to Lens with a Napoli triumph on the road in Braga. That bet pays 224/100 at McBookie.
- Super singles: Sane to score (12/5, Unibet). Lang shot on target (27/20, Unibet).
- McBookie bet builder: Combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals at Arsenal takes you to just under evens.
