Match Preview The game against Bayern Munich in Germany is the last chance for Mourinho to fine-tune his plans ahead of the maiden match of the 2018-19 Premier League campaign, which sees the Red Devils face Leicester. It has been a fraught pre-season for the Old Trafford club, with Mourinho bemoaning the fact that he has not been able to work with the bulk of his senior squad as well as expressing frustration at the lack of transfer activity, while Anthony Martial looks to have moved closer to an exit after exchanging barbs with his boss over taking time off to attend the birth of his child. Article continues below Fears that the Portuguese is on course to fulfil the infamous 'third season curse' that blighted his previous tenures at Chelsea and Real Madrid have intensified as a result and it will be interesting to see how the players respond to the tension that appears to have arisen. Bayern, meanwhile, are embarking into a new era, with recently instated head coach Kovac set to lead the team out at the Allianz Arena for the first time since taking the reins from Jupp Heynckes. A number of stars who featured at the World Cup in Russia have rejoined the squad, while new signing Leon Goretzka could be set to make his first appearance for the Bavarian club since joining from Schalke.<doc-sep>We’re now less than a week away from Manchester United’s Premier League curtain-raiser against Leicester City, and José Mourinho will be making final preparations in today’s friendly away at Bayern Munich.

Robbie Jay Barratt - AMA/Getty Images Manchester United take on Bayern Munich in their final pre-season friendly on Sunday at the Allianz Arena. The two sides are back from their excursions in the International Champions Cup in the United States. For United, this will be their last warm-up game before they take on Leicester City in the opening match of the Premier League season on Friday. Meanwhile, Bayern will get a tune-up ahead of the DFL-Supercup with Eintracht Frankfurt the following Sunday. Date: Sunday, August 5 Time: 7:15 p.m. BST/2:15 p.m. ET TV: MUTV (UK) Live Stream: MUTV (UK) Video Play Button Videos you might like Team News Per Marissa Thomas of the Mirror, United quartet Marcus Rashford, Phil Jones, Romelu Lukaku and Victor Lindelof have all returned to training early from their holidays, but none are likely to feature with the friendly coming too soon for them. Anthony Martial has also returned to training following the birth of his child. Bayern will be without Arturo Vidal, as Barcelona have confirmed he is on the verge of joining the club on a three-year deal pending a medical. The Evening Standard reported a £27 million fee has been agreed. Preview It's fair to say United's time in the USA was a tumultuous one. With many of their players on holiday or absent through injury, much of their time there was spent with a depleted squad, and they suffered a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of bitter rivals Liverpool. They managed to end the tour on a positive note, however, as they beat Real Madrid 2-1 in their final match in the United States. Football writer Liam Canning was impressed with their display against Los Blancos: ESPN's Rob Dawson was also positive about the result and singled out Alexis Sanchez for praise: The Chilean's form will have a huge impact on the Red Devils' success next season, so it bodes well for them that he is enjoying a strong pre-season. He'll be similarly key against Bayern, where he'll look to hone his sharpness further before the competitive fixtures begin. Bayern's results have not always gone to plan so far this pre-season. After an encouraging 3-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain in their opening ICC match, they then lost 2-0 and 3-2 to Juventus and Manchester City, respectively. Thomas Muller is relishing the prospect of taking on the Red Devils, though: Indeed, it will be a useful test of where the Bundesliga champions are at ahead of the new campaign. Given the promising shape Sanchez seems to be in, United may have the edge here, though Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho will also be looking for a more defensively solid performance than his side have produced of late.
