United are so off the pace and they are lucky that Bayern have not been more clinical.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The Red Devils found themselves 2-0 down at half-time, after goals from Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry, before Harry Kane and Mathys Tel sealed the win later on.<\/p>\n<p>United did fire back multiple times through Rasmus Hojlund and Casemiro but it wasn&#8217;t enough to earn a point in Munich.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Too wide open, too regularly.

What concerns me is that United almost stopped trying for about 15 minutes &#8211; even though they scored in that time&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>It was relatively quiet evening for Rashford, who failed to pose a real threat to the Bayern Munich defence throughout the encounter.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/20\/22\/75660179-12542295-image-a-48_1695246857568.jpg\" height=\"437\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Rashford (middle) failed to pose a serious threat against the Bundesliga champions<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/20\/22\/75658237-12542295-image-a-54_1695245848751.jpg\" height=\"422\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Rashford&#8217;s national team-mate Harry Kane did manage to score in the game<\/p>\n<p>Despite Pearce&#8217;s complaints, fans and pundits were quick to point the finger at goalkeeper Andre Onana following his role in Bayern&#8217;s opening goal.<\/p>\n<p>The summer signing was beaten by Sane from long-range after he allowed the German&#8217;s shot to wriggle under him and into the back of the net.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Former Man United and Bayern Munich midfielder Hargreaves, speaking on TNT Sports, was shocked by Onana&#8217;s error for the opening goal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You just have to save that.
