Ahead of the final round of fixtures in Group A, United need to win and hope Copenhagen draw at home to Galatasaray to stand a chance of reaching the Round of 16.
Erik ten Hag will come under more pressure if United miss out, and a defeat would also end their hopes of a Europa League spot, with Bayern Munich already qualified. If United draw and Galatasaray beat Copenhagen, Ten Hag's team will clinch a place in the Europa League playoffs for 2024.

Man United vs Bayern Munich lineups
Ten Hag is certain to make changes from United's 3-0 Premier League defeat with Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Højlund in line to start for the hosts. Luke Shaw is expected to remain in central defence, with Victor Lindelof struggling, and Ten Hag unconvinced over a recall for Raphael Varane.
Man United lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): Onana (GK) — Dalot, Maguire, Shaw, Reguilon — McTominay, Amrabat — Rashford, Fernandes, Garnacho — Højlund.
Thomas Tuchel's injury list remains unchanged of this tie with Serge Gnabry, Bouna Sarr and Matthijs de Ligt all ruled out until the start of 2024. Harry Kane is expected to lead the visitors attack with the England captain already scoring four Champions League goals this season.
Bayern Munich lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): Neuer (GK) — Laimer, Upamecano, Kim, Davies — Kimmich, Goretzka — Coman, Muller, Sane — Kane.
Man United vs Bayern Munich prediction
United head into this game on the back of just one win in their past four games across all competitions and one Champions League victory from five matches so far this season.
Despite the high stakes for United — and Bayern already confirmed in the Round of 16 — it is difficult to see the home side getting the win they need to fight for a place in the knockout stages. Kane will be keen to prove a point at Old Trafford after reportedly rejecting a summer move to Manchester.
Prediction: Man United 1-2 Bayern Munich
