has claimed that ’s victory over has shown they are capable of beating in the Champions League.

United – with a victory their only hope of qualifying for the knockouts – while they also require a draw in the other group match between Copenhagen and Galatasaray to progress.

The Red Devils last time out but Ten Hag has pointed to Wednesday’s 2-1 win against Chelsea and a 3-0 victory over Everton on November 26 as proof that United can beat anyone.

Quizzed as to what gave him hope and belief that United could beat Bayern, Ten Hag said: ‘It is our team.

‘We are not consistent but we have had very good performances and highs. If we are in the right spirit, we are able to beat any opponent.

‘The game against Chelsea and the game Everton. Even against Galatasaray (a 3-3 draw). This team can perform at really high levels. I know we can do it.

‘We have to work on that (consistency). It is my responsibility, to improve the team. I will give everything, my players will as well.

‘I can show them the clips from Chelsea for how we can play. If we do that, if we are all on one page, stick together and we have a good plan, we can beat any opponent.’

Reflecting on United’s reverse fixture against Bayern, which Thomas Tuchel’s side won 4-3 on September 20, Ten Hag added: ‘There were stages in that game when we played very good.

‘It was head-to-head for a long time. We suffered some mistakes that were avoidable. When you play against Bayern you have to be at your best. Chelsea also had amazing players, we dominated them, so I think we can do it against Bayern as well.’
