Genuine threat: Franck Ribery[LNB]Manchester United travel to the Allianz Arena tomorrow night to face Bayern Munich and their talisman Franck Ribery.  [LNB]United don't have the greatest record against Munich, having won just one of the seven Champions League meetings - THAT 1999 final.[LNB]And to progress, they must get the better of the two-time France footballer of the year Ribery. [LNB]He is not in the prime of health after tendinitis worries this season.[LNB]Butt the France winger will be the man for United to watch, especially if Arjen Robben fails to regain his fitness in time for the clash. [LNB]Sportsmail takes a look at why the boy from Boulogne is the Germans' danger man and just why they slapped a 100m Euros price tag on him last year. [LNB]Goal of the season v Nantes, 2005Ribery enjoyed two seasons at Marseille after his controversial move from Turkish side Galatasaray. [LNB]He settled in very quickly and scored this gem against Nantes, which was later voted goal of the season by the club's fans. [LNB]World Cup goals v Lithuania, 2009Despite his poor luck with injuries, Ribery has still managed 42 appearances for France, and netted seven times. And he has scored some vital goals, too. [LNB]France barely scraped through to this summer's World Cup and have his two winners in qualifiers against Lithuania to thank for making it to South Africa.[LNB]Late winner v 1860 Munich, 2008There are late winners and then there are last-minute of extra-time winners. Oh, and when they are scored against your city rivals, well, that's the stuff dreams are made of. [LNB]Ribery slotted home a (very) late penalty against 1860 in the German Cup with the last kick of the game to cement his hero status at Bayern.[LNB]Penalty v England, 2008Not prolific for his country but an  nine month spell without a goal for France came to an end with this goal against England. [LNB]It was Fabio Capello's first game in charge England on foreign soil and Ribery sealed the occasion with his 32nd-minute penalty. [LNB]So exuberant were his celebrations that he was booked straight afterwards for removing his shirt. [LNB]Long-range rocket v Stuttgart, 2008And if you were still unsure as to whether Ribery will be a danger against United, take a look at this goal.[LNB]This stunner against Stuttgart means that Edwin Van der Sar will always have to be on his toes - even if Ribery is in possession 35 yards from goal.
