THEATRE OF DREAMERS

MISSION Impossible or The Great Escape? Tonight, Manchester United's Champions League fate will be defined by one of those cinematic titles.

Much of this season has been like a horror film for United, but tonight they have the chance to change the course of their season - even if their European fate is ultimately out of their hands.

To reach the last 16, United must beat Bayern Munich - who are on a 39-game unbeaten streak in the group stage, stretching back to 2017 - and hope Copenhagen and Galatasaray play out a draw.

Given Bayern's formidable group stage record and the fact their attack will be led by England skipper Harry Kane, with 22 goals from 19 games this season, the odds are stacked heavily against United.

But Old Trafford will be rocking tonight, despite the many miserable performances Erik ten Hag's players have served up this season, with United fans desperate to see their team turn a corner.
