Bayern Munich players after putting in the only goal of the game

FC Dynamo Kyiv v Chelsea FC - UEFA Champions League
Jose Mourinho was criticized heavily for playing 'boring football' last season

You would expect a team of Manchester United's calibre to step up and challenge the Bayern Munich defenders in a pre-season friendly. However, it looked like Jose's men were playing for a draw at an away fixture in a knockout game.

Manuel Neuer could've very easily enjoyed the game from the stands as the Manchester United failed to hit a shot on target. Looking at the scoreline. one might think that it was a close game but Manchester United played the entire match in their own half.

Mata and Sanchez were too deep in their own half and hardly challenged the Bayern defence. The midfielders kept passing the ball sideways and did not create a single chance throughout 90 minutes.

5 days remain before the curtain opener at Old Trafford as Manchester United will face Leicester City and United are wondering whether Manchester United are ready for the season.
