Injuries Run The Rule Between United And Munich
Injuries could be Bayern Munich’s key concern when it comes to beating Manchester United in the Champions League as the pair meet again. There is a semi final place at stake in the competition that neither would want to give up. Both clubs are often guaged by the success they can achieve both at home and in Europe, thus the Champions League trophy will rank high on their priorities. On the table will be the German club’s desire to settle some old scores with the Red Devils that dates back 11 years ago. Bayern Munich lost to two late goals when Man Utd grabbed the trophy from them in the Champions League final that is often regarded as one of the greatest of all time.
Bayern Munich could suffer a huge blow prior to the match as news has filtered through that Dutch winger Arjen Robben might not be fit in time. Robben picked up an injury to his calf that could weaken the team’s attack considerably. Bayern have enjoyed a strong season due to Robben’s pace and passing ability and it would disrupt manager Louis Van Gaal’s plan if he has to take an enforced absence. The Germans are masters at showsmanship and one can never fully expect the real extent of the situation until the match starts. Robben could yet recover in time to feature against Man United.
There has only been good news for Manchester United. Key players in attack and defence are Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand respectively and both will be fit to play for the club. The pair will be joined by old heads Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes who will be no strangers to their opponents and the occasion after their involvement in the past Champions League final. The two will also be part of Alex Ferguson’s plans although they might not start in the Bayern Munich vs Manchester United live football stream due to age. Whatever the choice the manager makes, it would certainly provide for a spectacle when the clubs step onto the pitch.
