Bayern Munich being sued £100,000 by a fan after fracturing his kneecap before 2014 Manchester United clash

Bayern Munich are in a legal battle with a supporter after a Manchester United fan left him with a walking stick.

Fritz Rettensteiner was at the Allianz Arena to watch Bayern's clash with the Red Devils in the second leg of their 2013-14 Champions League quarter-final.

However, the Austrian never got to see the German's 3-1 victory (4-2 on aggregate) after a ticketless United fan crashed into him after jumping the barrier.

According to Suddeutsche Zeitung, Rettensteiner was rushed to hospital with a fractured kneecap, elbow and a lost tooth after being bundled to the ground as he made his way past a turnstile.
