Bayern Munich play their first match since the departure of Robert Lewandowski in the U.S. capital on Wednesday evening, as the German champions take on D.C. United. It is the start of the U.S. tour for the Bavarian giants, as they clash with Manchester City over the coming weekend.
Before Betting On DC United vs Bayern Munich
It has been a summer of change for Bayern Munich, as they look to freshen up the squad ahead of the Bundesliga title defense this coming season. The Bavarian giants could include both Sadio Mane and Matthijs de Ligt in the squad for the game against United on Wednesday, with both huge signings having already been formally announced. Former Ajax stars Noussair Mazraoui and Ryan Gravenberch could also be among those pushing for a place in the starting eleven this week.
However, the notable player absent from selection and his money-spinning move to Barcelona is Robert Lewandowski. The Pole finally forced through his move to the La Liga giants, which means Bayern will be playing a fixture without their instrumental striker for the first time since 2014.
As you would expect, DC United are the clear outsiders to get a positive result against Bayern on Wednesday evening. Wayne Rooney officially took over at the club following their 7-0 away defeat against Philadelphia at the start of July.
There was an instant response following the former player’s arrival in the dugout, as United earned a 2-2 draw against Columbus last week, with Ola Kamara scoring the equalizer in the 92nd minute.
