Bayern Munich struck twice in four minutes in the first half to set it on its 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 host firmly in the driving seat with injury-hit United, which has now lost its last three matches in all competitions, pulling a goal back in the 49th through Rasmus Hojlund’s deflected effort.
United, which lost 3-1 to both Brighton & Hove Albion and Arsenal in its previous two games, has now conceded three goals or more in three consecutive matches for the first time since December 1978.

Bayern, unbeaten now in its last 28 Champions League group stage home matches also hit the woodwork through Sane and Thomas Muller in the second half.
