Record champions Manchester United are not in any form in the league before the Champions League opener on Wednesday (9 p.m.) at FC Bayern Munich. Coach Erik ten Hag’s team lost 1:3 (0:1) against Brighton & Hove Albion and is in the lower middle of the table with just six points after five games.
Danny Welbeck (20th), national player Pascal Groß (53rd) and Joao Pedro (71st) scored for the new top team. Hannibal Mejbri could only shorten the score (73′). Meanwhile, champions Manchester City have also won their fifth game of the season and are still in first place after a 3-1 (0-1) win at West Ham United. Jérémy Doku (46th), Bernardo Silva (76th) and striker Erling Haaland (86th) were successful when Pep Guardiola returned to the coaching bench. The ex-Bayern coach had back surgery in August.
