Man United have a less than 10% chance of qualifying for the Champions League last 16.
We have reached Matchday 6 in the Group Stage for the 2023/24 Champions League. Two teams will progress to the last 16 from each group, while third place will move into the Europa League.
Going into tonight’s win or bust Group A match against Bayern Munich at Old Trafford, United have taken just four points from five matches. Only Royal Antwerp (15) have conceded more goals than United’s 14 in the competition so far.
How can Man United qualify for Champions League last 16?
If Man United win against Bayern Munich (best price 39/20 on Unibet) and the other Group A match between Copenhagen and Galatasaray finishes in a draw (14/5 on bet365), United will progress to the last 16 of the Champions League.
The double has a best price of 10/1 on both Unibet and BetUK, giving it an implied chance of 9%. So it is more than 90% likely to be the end of the road for Erik ten Hag’s side.

Can Man United get into the Europa League?
If there's a winner either way in the Copenhagen vs Galatasaray fixture, and United beat Bayern, they will finish third in the group and move into the Europa League.
A United draw will not be enough for them to qualify for the Champions League last 16, but it would be enough if Galatasaray beat Copenhagen as they are level in the head-to-head tiebreaker with Copenhagen and would overtake them based on either goal difference or goals scored.
Man United vs Bayern Betting Tips
United’s five Champions League matches so far this season are averaging 5.2 goals per game. Over 2.5 goals has paid out in four of those five matches. Only a win will give them a chance of qualifying and it’s difficult to see their shaky defence holding firm.
There has been at least three goals with both teams finding the net in four of Bayern’s Champions League matches. Thomas Tuchel’s side are scoring 2.45 goals per away game in all competitions this season so they should have some joy here.
