Manchester United played the best part of an hour against Young Boys with 10 men as they got their Champions League campaign underway. After a promising start to the Premier League, a far more challenging proposition would present itself in Bern.
The spectacular Cristiano Ronaldo gave Manchester United the lead after just 13 minutes, slotting in at the back post after a stunning pass from Bruno Fernandes.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side looked comfortable in the game but that would all change when a dangerous tackle from Aaron Wan-Bissaka resulted in his dismissal. The hosts equalised shortly after the hour-mark and stole all three points in the dying embers of the game.
David de Gea – 6
Can’t be blamed for either goal.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka – 1
Poor first touch before getting himself sent off. Poor challenge and put his team on the backfoot.
Victor Lindelof – 5.5
An OK outing for the returning Swede.
Harry Maguire – 6
Most of the pressure was on the captain as Young Boys took control of the game and he did fairly well.
Luke Shaw – 5
Mostly poor – should not have allowed the cross to come in for the equaliser.
Fred – 7
Back in the side after being omitted against Newcastle and he did well with all things considered.
Donny van de Beek – 5
It could’ve been the night he was dreaming of but instead he was substituted at half-time. Didn’t do too much at either end of the pitch.
