Manchester United’s Champions League return ended in disappointment as Harry Kane struck from the spot for Bayern Munich in an entertaining 4-3 win kicked off by Andre Onana’s clanger.
The European heavyweights are at very different stages right now, with the perennial Bundesliga champions second favorites to win a competition that United did not even feature in last season.
Absentee-hit United began brightly enough at the Allianz Arena, only for Serge Gnabry to score shortly after ex-Manchester City forward Leroy Sane’s effort squirmed past summer signing Onana.
Rasmus Hojlund scored his first goal for the club but Kane quickly slammed home a penalty, with Casemiro scoring either side of Mathys Tel’s stoppage-time strike as United suffered a fourth defeat in five matches.
There was enough time for Tel and Casemiro to grab one goal each for their teams.
Arsenal thrashed PSV 4-0 at the Emirates, with Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard getting the goals.
The other game in the group between Lens and Sevilla ended 1-1.
