MANCHESTER UNITED face a make-or-break Champions League tie at home to Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

The Red Devils have to win and hope Copenhagen and Galatasaray draw in order to progress to the knockout stages of the competition.

At the very least they need to win in order to secure a place in the Europa League to prevent dropping out of Europe altogether.

But, in Bayern Munich, they are facing a wounded animal.

The German champions were thrashed 5-1 yesterday in a shock result in the Bundesliga against Frankfurt.

And while they are already through in Group A as champions, Thomas Tuchel has demanded that his players come up with a response.
