Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag admits they'll face Bayern Munich this week as they are.

Ten Hag concedes their medical room won't clear in time for the Champions League opener.

Raphael Varane, Mason Mount, Sofyan Amrabat, Kobbie Mainoo and Amad were among the absentees for United in the 3-1 defeat to Brighton on Saturday.

"Maybe, maybe one player," Ten Hag said of their injured players.

"But I think Munich is a little bit too short. I go to Burnley and the week after, players will return.

"Bayern Munich is one of the favorites to win the Champions League, so we have to be good there and I already explained we need character, belief, resilience, determination, absolutely."day.
