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.
The last Champion League faceoff results left most teams to calculated qualifications for the round of 16. A whole lot of teams advancement doesn't necessarily depend on the outcome of their final group game, but rather on the outcome of other group team games too, United drew to Galatasaray so did Copenhagen to Munich.
Now the advancement is certain alone for Munich but the other three would have to fight in their own final games and still pray that the counterpart teams get a result that'd give them a chance to qualify as well. I don't know how United will face Munich because they're not in form even if they'd be the hosts, Munich are doing exceedingly well and they've not failed to make clubs stay down. Ten Hag has to do the greatest needful and also pray really hard because their destiny isn't in their hands solely.
A draw in the deciding match feels quite absurd and they will still fight for their place until the remaining matches. If Manchester United wins against Galatasaray then they will only be competing with Galatasaray for second place. But unfortunately Copenhagen was able to hold off Bayern Munich's series so Copenhagen also had the opportunity to do the same thing as Manchester United and Galatasaray. I am quite pessimistic about Manchester United's match against Bayern Munich and maybe the chance of the Red Devils winning is only no more than 10%. Now it is very difficult for the group A stage because there are still 3 teams left with all their magic in the last match and I think regardless of whoever loses in this competition they have to accept it and try again next season.
