Tuchel's men are currently in second place in Group B, three points adrift of United.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Kylian Mbappe who currently plays for French champions Paris-Saint-Germain has been urged by former Arsenal star Robert Pires to leave France and move to Spanish champions Real Madrid.

The France international currently has a contract with Paris-Saint-Germain which will expire in the next two years as the club's chiefs are trying to convince him to sign another deal.

There have been reports that talks over Kylian Mbappe signing a new deal has stalled and he could be sold next summer for the club to avoid losing him for free.
