Young Boys 2-1 Man Utd LIVE RESULT: Cristiano Ronaldo goal in vain as Lingard gifts Swiss side 94th minute win


CRISTIANO RONALDO has netted again for Man Utd, but the Red Devils will still be leaving Switzerland without any points.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner gave the Red Devils the lead after latching onto a brilliant Bruno Fernandes cross.

But the match turned when Aaron Wan-Bissaka was given a red card for a dangerous first half challenge.

Moumi Ngamaleu then equalised from close range before a misplaced Jesse Lingard backpass gifted Jordan Siebatcheu a 94th minute winner.

  • THAT’S ALL

    SunSport will have further reaction to tonight’s defeat plus reaction from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

    It wasn’t a great night for United who played Ronaldo for 70 minutes and had to bring on Varane who was being rested.

    That’s on top of the matchday one defeat.

    A mountain to climb in Europe already? Probably not as there’s plenty of time to go!

  • NOT GREAT READING

    Tonight’s defeat means Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has now lost seven Champions League games from his last 11.

    Mourinho and van Gaal before him lost six from 20 between them.

  • MAN-BYS

    Our man Jordan Davies runs the rule over tonight’s United players.

    See Jordan’s thoughts below.

    DAVID DE GEA – 6/10

    Made a few decent saves at the end of the first-half as United appeared flustered following the red card.

    Perhaps should have done better for the equaliser at his near post but was not helped by the shocking defending in front of him.

    AARON WAN-BISSAKA – 3

    Ultimately cost his side with a stupid and unnecessary challenge that rightly saw him receive a straight red.

    Did very little in attack when he was on the pitch, and will now be missing for some crucial games for his club in this competition.

    VICTOR LINDELOF – 5

    Started in a calm manner and was barely troubled by the Young Boys attack.

    But was caught out on a few occasions after the break and gave away some silly fouls that put his team under pressure late on.

    HARRY MAGUIRE – 6

    Led well when his side were under the cosh as Young Boys looked for their winner.

    It could have been a lot worse had it not been for his calmness in tight situations.

    LUKE SHAW – 6

    Was arguably United’s most creative player at times, constantly getting up the pitch to provide support out wide.

    Was hemmed back after the red card and put in a solid display as the pressure mounted – but the cross for the equaliser did come from his flank.

    FRED – 6

    Did very little wrong, but did very little to impact the game either.

    Was fortunate not to be subbed off for another defender after the red. Is surprisingly becoming quite the dependable figure for Solskjaer.

    DONNY VAN DE BEEK – 4

    Really cannot catch a break after being subbed off at the break despite making his first long-awaited start of the season.

    But when he was on the pitch, he was barely noticeable, and was lucky not to be booked for a rash tackle early on.

    JADON SANCHO – 6

    Showed glimpses of what he could do, but it wasn’t enough in a game where he should be taking it by the scruff of the neck.

    Was subbed off after 37 minutes following the red for Diogo Dalot to end what could have been a defining moment of his United career so far.

    BRUNO FERNANDES – 7

    The assist for his compatriot’s opener was simply outstanding – one that deserved to be a winning assist too.

    But as United dropped deeper and deeper, his influence faded – unsurprisingly.

    PAUL POGBA – 7

    A different kind of performance from the Frenchman – he showed a real strength on the ball when his side needed it.

    And we finally saw the sort of leadership he provides for his country. Long may it continue if United are to progress in this competition.

    CRISTIANO RONALDO – 8

    Barely touched the ball before his goal, but he comes alive when he is given a chance in the box.

    After 72 minutes his night was over, yet he made sure his impact was felt in a tournament he so desperately wants to win again with United.

  • EARLIER CHANGE NEEDED

    Paul Scholes wanted Ole to make a change earlier to have pace up the top end of the park.

    And he points to the sending off for the reason for the defeat.

    It all stems from the sending off. United were quite comfortable up to that point. They really couldn’t get out of their half in the second half. I think they needed to bring a bit of pace on earlier, with Martial or Greenwood.

  • THE WINNER

    Can’t believe I’m watching this again.

    Really poor at this level.

  • REPORT

    Read through our match report from tonight’s game.

    It’s over on the Sun Football page.

    And HERE

  • RIO RUE

    Rio Ferdinand – confident as you’d like before the game – says tough games across Europe are to be expected as he sees similarities to last season.

    This is last year all over again. We rued mistakes then and that is a big mistake at the end from Jessie.
    He done really well at the weekend.
    But it goes to show, no matter where you go in Europe it’s tough.
    You have to be on your game and tuned in.

  • THE GROUP

    How Group F shapes up after tonight’s defeat.

    Really, it should have been an easy three points.

    Then at 1-1, it was a decent point on the road given the red card.

    Now United are bottom after the first game.

  • FT: YOUNG BOYS 2-1 MAN UTD

    Watching the replay back, it’s even worse than you could imagine.

    He’s had a lot of praise Lingard for the last couple of weeks.

    But this is horrendous.

    United in front through Ronaldo before Wan-Bissaka’s red card on 35 minutes.

    Young Boys level in the second-half before the mistake that led to the winning goal with seconds remaining.

  • PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!

    The last kick of the game

    YOUNG BOYS 2-1 MAN UTD

  • YOUNG BOYS 2-1 MAN UTD

    Every player of the Young Boys squad is down the touchline.

    Wagner in dreamland, the fans going absolutely crazy.

    What a huge goal for them.

  • YOUNG BOYS 2-1 MAN UTD

    The United defence were set for a huge amount of credit for defending with 10 men for 55 minutes.

    Then Lingard got involved and has cost them HUGELY.

    He picks the pass up 25 yards from his own goal and tries a backpass to De Gea.

    That is a shocker as it’s short, Siebatcheu pounces and lifts it over De Gea and in.

  • GOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLL!!!!

    WOW WOW, LINGARD WITH AN ABSOLUTE HOWLER!!!

    YOUNG BOYS WIN IT AT THE DEATH!!!

  • YOUNG BOYS 1-1 MAN UTD

    90+3′ Long ball down the channel and Varane and Maguire play offside but no flag comes.

    Kanga – just on for Young Boys – flashes one across the box and through and away.

    That could be that.

  • YOUNG BOYS 1-1 MAN UTD

    FIVE MINUTES ADDED

  • YOUNG BOYS 1-1 MAN UTD

    90′ Pogba and Lingard get themselves in a twist on the edge of their box and Young Boys create an opportunity.

    Elia crosses one into the box which Lindelof flicks away and Dalot completes the clearance.

  • YOUNG BOYS 1-1 MAN UTD

    88′ Lindelof heads the latest corner away.

    United make their final change of the night.

    • OFF – Fred
    • ON – Anthony Martial
  • YOUNG BOYS 1-1 MAN UTD

    CLOSE!!

    87′ Lauper steps forward from the back to pick up a loose ball.

    He strikes from 25 yards and it’s flying at de Gea’s goal.

    The United keeper doing well to tip it over the bar.

  • YOUNG BOYS 1-1 MAN UTD

    85′ You won’t be surprised to hear Maguire headed the ball away.

    Young Boys pick up the ball again and it’s knocked long into the box.

    Nodded down for Ngamaleu  who swipes an effort from the edge which is curling away from goal and wide.

  • YOUNG BOYS 1-1 MAN UTD

    85′ The goalscorer Ngamaleu receives the ball wide on the right and Shaw is quick out to stop him crossing.

    But it’s at the expense of a Young Boys corner.

  • YOUNG BOYS 1-1 MAN UTD

    83′ A minute of treatment on the park, a minute on the side and Lindelof is back on.

    Just over five minutes to go.

  • YOUNG BOYS 1-1 MAN UTD

    81′ Nasty-looking head knock for Lindelof who is down for treatment.

    The physios rush across but he does look OK.

  • YOUNG BOYS 1-1 MAN UTD

    79′ Maguire reaches the ball in which lands at Lindelof’s feet.

    He can’t sort his feet out in time to get a shot away and it’s snuffed out.

  • YOUNG BOYS 1-1 MAN UTD

    78′ And a pitch invader runs onto the park to delay the restart.

    A decent forward-roll that wipes out the steward.

    Idiot.

  • YOUNG BOYS 1-1 MAN UTD

    77′ Free kick to United in a promising position.

    35 yards from goal, wide on the right and a chance for the visitors to flood the box as the three centre backs head forward.
