Bayern Munich v Man United player ratings: Musiala 9, Kane 8; Hojlund 6, Onana 5

Germans open their Champions League campaign with a 4-3 win at the Allianz Arena

• 

  Sven Ulreich 6/10

  Bayern Munich ratings: Brilliant early save at his near post to deny Eriksen. Decisive punch clear on 10 minutes. Another sharp save from Rashford. Perhaps could have done better for Hojlund goal and possibly even Casemiro’s second. GettyShow less

• 

  Konrad Laimer 6/10

  Showed lots of attacking intent down the right flank, flashing dangerous balls into the United box. Nice early lofted pass for Sane to break into the area. Not so good defensively as Rashford had the beating of him more than once. EPAShow less

• 

  Dayot Upamecano 8/10

  Commanding presence in the Bayern backline. Showed pace and clever reading of the game to snuff out a break by Rashford just before half time. Denied him space out wide again on the hour. Pretty much had the United forward in his pocket. APShow less

• 

  Kim Min-Jae 6/10

  Some solid defensive clearing headers. Good work to deny Fernandes in the area just after the break. Maybe could have done more to prevent Hojlund’s goal. Generally tidy and efficient. Getty

• 

  Alphonso Davies 7/10

  Pace to burn. Superbly timed tackle at the back post to prevent an almost certain goal early on. His speed allowed him to snuff out the pacy Pellistri more than once and then he matched Rashford in a foot race late on. GettyShow less

• 

  Joshua Kimmich 7/10

  Sound job doing the nuts an bolts tasks, winning possession and setting Bayern on the front foot with his unfussy distribution. Reuters

• 

  Leon Goretzka 6/10

  Didn't have a huge impact on the game. Wasted a chance to open up the United defence on the edge of the box when he fluffed a pass on 18 minutes. PA

• 

  Leroy Sane 9/10

  A constant threat with his pace and direct running. Put Bayern ahead with a shot that Onana made a total hash of. Curling strike after a great run on the stroke of half time. Hit the post with a lovely shot on the run and then had another dipping effort that was well saved by Onana. ReutersShow less

• 

  Jamal Musiala 9/10

  A defender's nightmare, running at them with pace and control from all angles. Brilliant surge into the area and assist for Gnabry’s second goal for Bayern. Almost scored from a lightning Bayern break just after Hojlund’s goal. Fantastic jinking run to set up a Sane chance. Top player. PAShow less

• 

  Serge Gnabry 7/10

  Fairly quiet until he doubled Bayern’s lead with a crisp finish just after the half-hour. Some threatening runs before he was replaced by Coman on the hour. Getty

• 

  Harry Kane 8/10

  His first involvement was a solid clearing header at a corner as United pressed forward early in the game. Great threaded ball into the box for Musiala. Clinical finish from the spot for Bayern’s third goal. Some clever link-up play. Thumping shot saved by Onana on the hour. Settling in nicely. PAShow less

• 

  Kingsley Coman 6/10

  Subs: (Gnabry 63’) Looked dangerous when he came on with his pace and running angles. Clean strike saved by Onana. Getty

• 

  Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting N/A

  (Musiala 74’) Well-struck shot forced an excellent save from Onana. Could have placed his shot better when the United keeper saved in the 82nd minute. Loose pass on the attack almost allowed United to break clear. APShow less

• 

  Mathys Tel N/A

  (for Sane 87’) Devastating cameo as he showed superb control and a clinical finish to score Bayern’s fourth and kill off the game. PA

• 

  Thomas Muller N/A

  (Kane 87') - Little chance to make any impact. PA

• 

  Andre Onana 5/10

  Manchester United ratings: Advanced as he struck long balls into wide attacking positions, but made a terrible mistake to let Bayern ahead on 28. That was soon 2-0 as United’s bright start was blown apart. Couldn’t stop Kane’s penalty, but saved well from him on 61 and Sane two minutes later. Further saves from Coman and Choupo-Moting, but the damage was done. GettyShow less

• 

  Diogo Dalot 6/10

  Started well, attacking through the middle, but then couldn’t stop Musiala’s run to set up the second. Tackled Choupo-Moting to stop him shooting on 79. AP

• 

  Victor Lindelof 5/10

  A tough night for the central defender against Kane in front of the 75,000 crowd. United keep losing games because of lapses. PA

• 

  Lisandro Martinez 6/10

  Saved United after 21 minutes in one of the rare times Bayern had success attacking through the middle early in the game, but then reverted to the poor form of this season so far. Booked. EPA

• 

  Sergio Reguilon 7/10

  Easily United’s best player as he linked up well with Rashford in United’s encouraging start. He also crossed and tackled well, running across the pitch to stop Sane. Powerful when attacking. PA

• 

  Casemiro 5/10

  Scored two late goals, yet easily beaten by the superb Musiala in the lead to Bayern’s second. Shook his head after 74 minutes – as well he might. He’s suffered an alarming drop in form since last season. PAShow less

• 

  Christian Eriksen 5/10

  Lost the ball in the middle which led to an attack and a corner. He handled the ball and the penalty meant Bayern’s third. It was a harsh decision against the Dane, who could do nothing to stop the ball hitting his arm. EPAShow less

• 

  Facundo Pellistri 5/10

  A huge decision to start the Uruguayan for only the second time. Ran towards the far post but couldn’t meet a 34th-minute cross. Up against Davies, who was a major threat. Faded. Reuters

• 

  Bruno Fernandes 5/10

  Determined start, yet lost the ball in key positions. Dropped back when McTominay replaced Eriksen. Spun the ball towards goal which Casemiro headed in for the third. AP

• 

  Marcus Rashford 6/10

  On it from the start and had the beating of full-back Laimer, though he seldom beat him. Helped keep United narrow and was always available out wide. Set Hojlund up for United’s first, but still hit and miss in a side that is the same. PAShow less

• 

  Rasmus Hojlund 6/10

  The new striker worked hard and was rewarded with his first United goal straight after half time, a low shot deflected in. Brought off soon after. Getty

• 

  Scott McTominay 6/10

  Subs: (Eriksen 68') Went straight up in a No 10 position. Getty

• 

  Alejandro Garnacho N/A

  (Pellistri 80'). United got two late goals with him on the pitch. EPA

• 

  Anthony Martial N/A

  (Hojlund 80'). Worked well. PA

Bayern Munich struck twice in four minutes in the first half to set them on their way to a 4-3 victory over an embattled Manchester United on Wednesday and make a winning start in Champions League Group A.

Goals from Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry in the 28th and 32nd minutes put the hosts firmly in the driving seat, with injury-hit United, who have now lost their last three matches, pulling a goal back in the 49th through Rasmus Hojlund's deflected effort.

United, who lost 3-1 to both Brighton and Hove Albion and Arsenal in their previous two games, have now conceded three goals or more in three consecutive matches for the first time since December 1978.

Bayern crushed United's hopes of a comeback four minutes later with a Harry Kane penalty, awarded for a handball by Christian Eriksen, to restore their two-goal cushion.

Casemiro slotted in from close range in the 88th minute but substitute Mathys Tel scored once more for Bayern in stoppage time. Casemiro headed in another for United with the last move of the game.

The hosts, unbeaten now in their last 28 Champions League group stage home matches also hit the woodwork through Sane and Thomas Mueller in the second half.
