Bruno has only played at the highest level for half a season.
No idea why he's so highly rated to the point where he'd displace Thomas Muller.

Who out of our current squad gets into this Bayern lineup?
- Thread starter MrSingh2002
- Start date
Arguing only on individual qualirty maybe onle Pogba and Martial but theres no way them would make them any stronger actually than what they are now. The other way arround any of them would actually make us stronger even Goretzka. Kind of hoping this Coman deal goes through if theres any truth in it
Funny are the ones that want to replace Müller with his 21 open play assists in 600 min less playing time than KdB. He is 3rd in Europe in pressure wins per 90 min of players with more than 2000 min playing time and leader of that team. And he and Lewy have a blind understanding. He might be unconventional and odd, but that offense and the whole team function a lot better with him!
As the social media manager?
No one
Who are we kiding?
Pogba is better than muller at youtube compilations but thats it. The guy is a winning machine, why would they replace him with the frenchman? The same with goretzka, hes been great this season

I find this baffling.
They have a brilliant team with no real superstars, it’s great to see. Football being a team game and all that
I think Martial would be the one that has the most pressing claim, obviously from the left not as a number 9
Pogba would be a maybe, or a definite if Thiago as expected leaves
But then tbh Rashford seems very highly rated in Europe and I'm sure they'll be a host of top sides impressed with Greenwood as well.
Bruno? Well we forget everyone had the chance to sign him before we did and no one took that up so probably a little hyperbole to suggest that things are different just 6 months later

Nobody... Bruno Fernandes the only one who would be close, but hes competing with Muller who is brilliant himself and such a smart player. Thiago beats out Pogba for sure in a straight 1v1. Rashford or Martial vs Coman/Perisic is also 50/50 though, no clear pick between any of them. They now have Sane so same thing again.
That doesn't matter though. We have a good side and are building, we just have to push on and keep improving. We can't take it easy for whatever reason, though unfortunately it looks like that's exactly what we're doing.

awb over kimmich? Are you high?
Maybe Martial over Coman, but that's it. Even then, they're getting Sane from next season and he's a lot better than Martial.
Pointless thread though, they're clearly the best team in the world, not many players from any team in the world would get in.

Considering how Bayern play, I'd take Bailly over Sule at the back. I don't think I'd make the same choice over Boateng. Yes, Maguire is better than Bailly but he's too slow.
Think Rashford and Martial would be upgrades on Gnabry and Coman.
Would probably take Fernandes over Muller, but that's a tough one. Pogba for Goretzka, maybe, yes although Goretzka is looking good these days.

None would get in. They are the European champions and we are the 3rd/4th best team in England, so this shouldn't come as a surprise.
If Greenwood continues to develop along the same trajectory, he could reach those levels.

Bayern actually play with 3 CAMs, the LAM and RAM are not really pure wingers. Depends on who play there, they may either play ala Countinho/Perisic (more central) or somewhat wingers but cut infield often ala Gnabry/Coman (more on the side/wing and near the touchline). Boateng and Alaba are definitely the first choice CBs. Sule isn't that good, so just maybe either one of Maguire or Lindelof. Yeah, laugh, go on.
Bayern emphasizes high-energy workrate both attacking and defending so Pogba, Rashford and Martial need to step-up their game if they want to be chosen. Teamwork and being physical are also important. Bruno will fit in well.
Our players?
Bruno -- CAM, LAM, RAM
Pogba -- LAM, RAM
Rashford -- LAM, RAM
Martial -- LAM
Matic -- CDM (seriously who's their new CDM if Thiago left?)
Fred -- CDM (back-up)
Maguire -- CB (back-up)
Lindelof -- CB (back-up)
Shaw - LCB, LB (back-up)
Fit Bailly -- CB, RB (back-up)

Wow.. this thread is an eye opener. So, basically, a team that got to the semi final of the Europa League isn't as strong as the one that won the Champions League.. Wow... deep...
As a matter of interest, has anyone suggested we're going to win the CL next year?

The eye opener is that right now our players are a bit overrated.
The only player of ours who has proved anything at any level is Pogba, and even he is a doubt. What hope do the likes of Rashford, Fernandes, and Martial have to get in over Lewandowski, Muller and Gnabry? Of course there's the implication that in a working system they'll shine as well, but until that's proven, none of ours is getting into a treble winning team.
With that said, no reason that can't change over time. With more experience and maturity our strikers especially will get better, and who knows how their careers will pan out.
Pogba, Bruno, and maybe Martial and that is it.
Good ol cafe self deprecation
I'm agreeing with all of that, for me, none of our players get into the current Bayern team, Pogba has the talent,but he doesn't show it consistently enough.
My point is that its a pointless comparison.
Yeah, I'm a self hating Utd fan.
Who for you gets into that Bayern team?
As a team we're in a very different place.
Hahaha...among all suggestions, this was the funniest.
Pogba is as good or even better than thiago but he does not have Thiago's calm control. Maguire easily make Bayern's backline. Martial too can have a shout from the left. That's about it.
But we are talking about a team which beat Barcelona 8-2. And we couldn't even beat Sevilla.
No, I am agreeing with you good sir. Thread has no meaning, but to down our squad and our morale.
Maguire, Bruno, Martial for Sule/Boateng, Muller, Coman.
If Kimmich plays in midfield with Goretzka then Pogba over Goretzka & Pavard still plays over Bissaka.

None of them.

Maguire, Pogba, Fernandes and Rashford all have a shout.
What do you mean by superstars? Neuer, Müller, and Lewandowski are among the best players on the planet in their respective positions, and Davies has a claim to being in the top five best fullbacks right based on last season. The rest of the team (if I'm not forgetting someone) might look better because of the context they play in, but four players from the absolute top seems pretty strong to me. Who else has that, outside the teams that might reasonably be classified among the best around right now?
I think there are plenty who would be in with a shout actually. Pogba, Fernandes, Greenwood, Martial, Rashford (at his best) wouldn't look out of place at all.
They are a more functional team than us and have more players who can control a game but the significant difference is the players they have on their bench blows ours out of the water.

Don't think anyone would be a starter. Sub, perhaps. They're superbly balanced.
Correct, not sure even Fernandes gets in ahead of Muller. Could see both coming off the bench.
Bayern Munich were pretty much flawless for the entire campaign. Honestly none of our players get close to that starting 11 without showing a whole lot more than what they have for United. In footballing terms (individual & as a team) we are minnows compared to Bayern right now. That doesn't mean we can't reach that level but I feel from the top down we can't touch that club. Glad they won over PSG tonight, a fecking great European campaign.
What really impressed me was the control of their passes, phenomenal. Under hit or over hit, didn't matter, most of the time it was laid on or off perfectly but the control was top notch. We would look like mugs next to that. First time in a while I've enjoyed watching actual football (United thrill and destroy me in equal amounts).
Ha ha. None. Not one.
The team that lost the SF of the Europa League doesn't have players that the current Bundesliga and the first ever unbeaten CL champions in history would want. Shocker!
Salah
Mane
Van Dijk
Alexander-Arnold
Fabinho
I'd argue all would stake a claim in a mixed team, and I'm being very harsh on Robertson here too. Personally I still think Liverpool are better than Bayern, had it not been for Adrian's disasterclass they had a very good chance of winning this tournament.
I apologize my bad. They are not the first ever. Just undefeated CL champions.
I was thinking about that actually. Who on United's bench would replace anyone in Bayern's bench? Not that their depth has won Bayern these last few games though.
