UCL: Tuchel says Bayern wouldn’t underestimate Man Utd

German side Bayern Munich will on Wednesday host EPL side Man Utd in the UEFA Champions League opening match.

Man Utd have had it tough this season with a recent defeat to Brighton last weekend.

The Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag will also be without some key players and his exchange with Jadon Sancho has been a heated topic as well.

Reacting to the situation at Old Trafford, Tuchel said that he feels that some of it was just “noise”, insisting that the Red Devils will not be underestimated by his squad.

Speaking during his press conference, the German said: “There is always a lot of noise around Manchester United. A lot of pundits in the UK are from Manchester United. You have a legacy from [Sir] Alex Ferguson which creates expectations around the club.

“All of us, me in Bayern and my colleague at Man Utd, want to achieve the same things. It is pretty common at Man Utd that little things become a bit bigger or the talking is a bit noisier.

“From what I know, they have a coaching environment where players can grow. That is what we do, to instil principles and rules to create a winning culture.

“For me it is evident to see the way I see Man Utd play. The results maybe don’t but it is a team full of quality and we will never underestimate them.”
