I know there will be no more opportunities to get a ticket to continue for MU. But Ten Hag teachers and students need to be determined to win, even if they are eliminated. Because, after all, it is an honorable victory for their fans. With this victory, Ten Hag may continue to retain his coaching position. They have played exceptionally poorly this season. There is no more reason for them to justify their mistakes. A victory against the mighty Bayern would replace their explanation.
I don't know if Marcus Rashford will play in this match. Rashford was sent off in Man United's recent defeat to Copenhagen for fouling Elias Jerert. Hopefully, he will be present in this match because he is MU's central striker.
For fans, even though Manchester United will win over Bayern Munchen at Old Trafford, this victory can be interpreted as a form of revenge, from this context they will definitely be happy. However, it won't make reality any better if Copenhagen versus Galatasaray beat each other and don't draw. To be honest, in simple terms, if United failed to qualify for the round of 16, fans would be very disappointed. Apart from that, for Ten Hag there may be a performance evaluation from club officials in the future, currently I am not sure he can last much longer in the capacity of head coach at Old Trafford.
Personally, I hope that Rashford will be kept by Ten Hag, I saw that his game in the match versus Newcastle yesterday in the EPL was very far from standard. His movements seemed invisible, and many even criticized Ten Hag policy of taking his place too late in the match. Ten Hag must determine his starting XI wisely, if he doesn't want to be beaten a second time by Bayern.
Wether Manchester United will be playing to their full strength in other to win again Bayern Munich as a revenge for losing at the home of the German club in September or trying to win in other to progress to the knockout stages of this season's UEFA Champions League competition, it doesn't change the fact that the possibility of reaching the round of 16 is mathematically not in their own hands as a win by any of the sides between Copenhagen and Galatasaray will send the Old Trafford club crashing out of this season's UCL competition.
Bayern Munich is undoubtedly the strongest team in the group A and the only team in the group that's yet to lose a match in the competition and I don't even expect them to lose against Manchester United and that's why I think it's almost impossible to see Manchester United progress to the next round as they'll be needing a win against Bayern Munich and a draw in the game between Copenhagen and Galatasaray to make it to the next round of the competition. United fans already aren't happy with the club's manager Erik Ten Hag because of his poor performance with the team this season both in Europe and in domestic competitions and I'll be surprised to see him remain at the club till the end of the season.
