Former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke is worried that Bayern Munich will take advantage of a United team in disarray on Wednesday when the two sides meet in the UEFA Champions League.
United lost 3-1 to Brighton and Hove Albion this past weekend in the Premier League, and pressure is growing on manager Erik ten Hag to make the club a major force in world football once more.
But things do not get any easier for the Red Devils who travel to Bayern Munich in the opening game of Group A in this season's Champions League.
With confidence low amongst United's players, Yorke is afraid this is something Bayern could take advantage of and is expecting a tough game at the Allianz Arena.
"Now United have lost to Brighton, they’ll arrive at Munich with back-to-back defeats - something Bayern will love to take advantage of. Ten Hag will need to get the players’ heads right with this one," Yorke told Genting Casino.
“We should take it one step at a time. I remember going to Bayern and getting a point there - it’s one of the toughest stadiums to play in.
"The German mentality and the level of play is very formidable. I know the national team aren’t doing well, but Bayern Munich are always firing. The Allianz is a very tough stadium, and I’d be happy to take a point.
“Last year was an incredible season where United got to two finals, winning one, and finishing in the top four. The Europa League went reasonably well, too.
"After that, you need to kick-on and improve further. The expectation is high at Man United, and if you don’t deliver, you’ll be under scrutiny. Ten Hag is no exception.”
