Manchester United’s Champions League crusade got off to a horrible beginning as Jordan Siebatcheu’s stoppage-time strike acquired Young Boys a renowned 2-1 win against the Red Devils in Switzerland.
After losing the Europa League last to Villarreal on penalties, Manchester United were on course to get back to mainland action with a clear success after Cristiano Ronaldo’s initial opener.
The Portuguese’s 135th Champions League goal came as the returning forward equalled Iker Casillas’ appearance record in the opposition, yet the 36-year-old will need to fail to remember his 177th match.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s 35th minute sending off for a rash tackle on Christopher Martins Pereira changed the elements of the game, with Nicolas Moumi Ngamaleu evening out before Siebatcheu struck in the last few minutes.
Few could contend that the Swiss heroes oversaw by previous Huddersfield manager David Wagner – didn’t merit the outcome on a night when their exhibition was however great as United’s seemed to be poor.
Moumi Ngamaleu sent the Stadion Wankdorf wild when evening out and substitute Siebatcheu benefited from an awful Jesse Lingard pass to strike a shocking stoppage-time blow in the Group F opener.
