Erik ten Hag has explained his team selection for Man United's game against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
Erik ten Hag has started Facundo Pellistri for Manchester United's match against Bayern Munich because of tactical reasons.
Jadon Sancho and Antony are currently unavailable and that's left Pellistri as the only natural right-sided forward in the squad, but he's only previously made a single start for the club and that was in the Europa League last season.ALSO READ: Solskjaer names five transfer regrets Ten Hag discussed his team selection to TNT Sports ahead of kick-off at the Allianz Arena and said: "Last year, we battled for the Champions League, this is where we belong, we deserve it, but we have to prove we deserve it again.
"He's got a lot of speed, and Pellistri can match that. Davies is not a great defender and his dribbling, so yeah, a good game for it [to start Pellistri]. We can have a lot of possession and with Bruno in the No.10, he's creative and a very good presser as well.
