Manchester United have a difficult first test to begin their Champions League campaign as they travel to Bayern Munich this evening.
The backdrop surrounding United's clash with the Bundesliga giants centres around Erik ten Hag's injury crisis. Currently, the Reds are dealing with several injury complaints and while Mason Mount and Raphael Varane returned to first team training in midweek, neither were fit enough to fly to Germany.
United therefore have very few options if they wish to change things following the 3-1 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion at the weekend. However, MEN Sport's Reds supporters have chosen to make a couple of alterations in a bid to pull off a commendable victory in Bavaria.

Take a look at the fans' team below.
Goalkeeper - Andre Onana
No surprises in goal as Onana is chosen to keep his place in the squad. The Cameroonian has been under the microscope after the defeat to Brighton but he will be hoping to prove his worth on the grandest stage this evening.
Defenders - Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof, Sergio Reguilon
There is little scope for changes in defence with only five defenders travelling to Munich. Aaron Wan-Bissaka's injury in the latter stages of the defeat to the Seagulls cemented Reguilon's place in the line-up today. Dalot is chosen in his more preferred right-back role while Martinez and Lindelof will need to be a lot better against the threat of Harry Kane.
Midfielders - Hannibal Mejbri, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes
United fans clearly saw enough of Hannibal to convince them he deserves a start in Munich tonight. The Tunisian took his first ever goal
