The Japanese playmaker had arguably his best game of the season in United’s 4-1 win over Aston Villa at the weekend, but he drops to the bench with Giggs returning following his masterclass in the second leg against Olympiacos.
Antonio Valencia is preferred to Ashley Young on the right wing, with the England man taking his place on an extremely attacking bench that includes no less than five forwards, plus Darren Fletcher and sub-goalie Anders Lindegaard.

Bayern, meanwhile, opt to start without a recognised striker, meaning Thomas Muller is likely to play as a flase nine between Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben.
