Bayern Munich: will the'latest blow come from Manchester United?”
The Bavarian club has been accosted to a star outgoing from the English club
Bruno Fernandes in a recent interview openly criticized the management of Manchester United, igniting the wrath of the club
The Portuguese midfielder revealed that the Red Devils couldn't wait to give him up, and only coach Amorim blocked the transfer

Bruno Fernandes stated that he feels undervalued, and speculations about his farewell to Manchester have intensified
Among the clubs juxtaposed to the player there'is also Bayern Munich
The Bavarians could part with Goretzka immediately in January, and Fernandes could be a more than worthy replacement for him in midfield

But the'operation is very unlikely because it goes against the current strategy of the German champions

Bayern executives aim to rejuvenate the team
They also want to reduce wages: with the'arrival of Fernandes would remain the same problem the club now has with Goretzka
Bruno Fernandes has a salary over 20 million euros a'year

Emery seems inclined to confirm Onana alongside Kamara in the middle of the field, while Tielemans, McGinn and Rogers are expected to act in the three-quarter in support of the lone striker Watkins. The injured Mings and Barkley and Pau Torres

remain unavailable.

Amorim has to deal with several heavy absences: in addition to the disqualified Casemiro, Diallo, Mbeumo and Mazraoui, all of whom are committed to the African Cup of Nations, will be missing. The condition of central midfielders de Ligt and Maguire also remains to be evaluated. In case of a forfeit, Heaven will warm up for the defense, while Mainoo is ready to take a shirt in the midfield and Zirkzee will threaten a place in the center of the attack.

Probable lineups

Aston Villa (4-2-3-1): Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Maatsen; Onana, Kamara; McGinn, Tielemans, Rogers; Watkins. Coach: Emery.

Manchester United (3-4-2-1): Lammens; Lenny Yoro, Heaven, Shaw; Dalot, Fernandes, Mainoo, Dorgu; Mount, Cunha; Sesko. Coach: Amorim.
