Maguire injured?
Harry Maguire suffered a groan strain, he was pulled out and replaced by Evans. According to Ten Hag, Maguire is ruled out for 4 weeks, he is expected to return end of January. He’s been United’s best player for the past month, and they’ve got to go to Anfield on Sunday.
United played better, but they had no real bite. Bayern were comfortable throughout and clinical for one minute. And United didn’t just lose the game: they lost Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw to injury.
“It’s been a really poor campaign,” says Paul Scholes. “[Though] you have to say in some games they looked very good. Tonight was probably the most disciplined performance of all of them.” Yes, but what they gained in discipline, they lost in derring-do. It was more a case of derring-don’t.
