Manchester United training squad vs Bayern Munich confirmed ahead of Champions League fixture

Raphael Varane and Mason Mount have trained with Manchester United's first-team squad in preparation for Wednesday night's UEFA Champions League group stage opener against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.
