Ten Hag made to pay<\/strong><\/p>\n Eyebrows were raised before kick-off when Erik ten Hag flatly criticised the defending of Bayern left-back Alphonso Davies. “He isn\u2019t a good defender,” said the Dutchman. “[Facundo] Pellistri can match Davies with his dribbling.”<\/p>\n He looked on course to be proven right in the first five minutes when Pellistri got the wrong side of Davies, but the Uruguayan fumbled what should have been a simple tap-in, and he was a passenger for the rest of the game. The battle between Pellistri and Davies ultimately turned out to be a minor one in the grand scheme of the match, with the likes of Leroy Sane and Jamal Musiala running the visitors ragged – much like Ten Hag expected his young winger to do to the opposition.<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> Levy risks Tottenham backlash as new details on Kane buy-back clause emerge<\/strong><\/p>\n Kane comes up trumps<\/strong><\/p>\n It was always going to be a big night for Harry Kane, who faced English opponents for the first time since signing for Bayern in an \u00a386million summer move. Needless to say it was a happy reunion for the England captain.<\/p>\n Although Kane took a while to loosen up, the shackles came off after he assisted Sane’s opener. And the striker was typically potent from the penalty spot to put Bayern 3-1 up in the second half, even if the decision to penalise Christian Eriksen for handball was contentious in itself.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

Ten Hag took a gutsy decision by axing the long-serving David de Gea and spending big money on the Cameroonian, and although he is confident with the ball at his feet, Onana’s shot-stopping ability is currently leaving plenty to be desired.<\/p>\n The fact Sane’s tame shot from outside the box found the bottom corner was a disaster for United. Although Onana came up with a series of saves in the second period to try and make amends, it was still a troubled night on the whole.<\/p>\n Hojlund off the mark<\/strong><\/p>\n Ten Hag gave \u00a372m signing Rasmus Hojlund a big chance to impress in Munich by starting him through the middle. The Dane repaid the Dutchman’s faith by notching his first goal for the Red Devils.<\/p>\n But without wishing to rain on the youngster’s parade, it was hardly a performance for the ages. Scarcely involved throughout the match, Hojlund should have done better with his handful of touches aside from the goal, misplacing a simple lay-off and failing to get across the front post when Marcus Rashford whipped in a cross early on.<\/p>\n His finish, meanwhile, took a helpful deflection, but the goal will surely serve as a valuable and much-needed confidence booster for the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/4969973.jpg?r=1695244440695\")
