  • Story Text: Manchester United arrive in Germany for Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final first-leg tie against Bayern Munich.
    Manchester United, led by team manager Alex Ferguson, arrived in Germany on Monday (March 29) for Tuesday's Champions League quarter-finals against Bayern Munich.
    Manchester goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar and defender Rio Ferdinand were seen signing autographs as they were heading from the arrivals terminal towards a waiting bus.
    Ferguson, surrounded by reporters, refused to answer reporters questions as he left the airport building.
    Bayern Munich could not have picked a worse time this season to face mighty Manchester United.
    The Bavarians, who had enjoyed a successful spell in three competitions following the winter break, are stuck in a rut after their second successive Bundesliga defeat, 2-1 against visiting VfB Stuttgart on Saturday.
    Manchester United have no real injury concerns, with top scorer Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand fit for the game after being rested as a precaution from Saturday's 4-0 victory over Bolton Wanderers, their seventh straight win in all competitions.
