Harry Maguire and two more stars OUT of Man Utd squad vs Bayern Munich as injury crisis deepens with ONE spare defender

HARRY MAGUIRE has been left out of Manchester United’s travelling squad ahead of the club’s Champions League match against Bayern Munich.

Mason Mount and Raphael Varane also miss out, despite initial hopes that they would be available.

The two stars returned to full training today after recovering from their respective injuries.

Mount has missed United’s last three games due to an unspecified muscular issue, while Varane has missed the last two.

It is yet to be confirmed whether or not Maguire is unavailable due to an injury.

The centre-back has not started a match for Man Utd this season.

His only appearance so far came during the club’s 3-1 defeat to Arsenal before the international break.

Maguire then received heavy criticism from fans while on England duty earlier this month.

Erik ten Hag has since stepped in to defend him, saying: “I have said many times, it is disrespectful and he doesn’t deserve it.

“He is a great player and gives great performances. It’s crazy but it’s how it works and Harry has to block this by performances.

“It’s unjustified when you see his career. It’s a great career and it has a lot to come but he has to block it by good performances.”

Fans had also hoped that summer signing Sofyan Amrabat would make his debut against Bayern Munich, but the midfielder is yet to take part in full training.

The midfielder trained by himself earlier today in order to build up his fitness following a back injury.

Man Utd face the Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich on Wednesday at the Allianz Arena.
