Afternoon all and welcome to Young Boys v Manchester United!

Better from Young Boys, Siermo picking up an improperly cleared corner and crossing well, with Camara getting up first .. but he can't get enough on his header and the ball skews away from goal.

And if they find it, there's a decent chance we see Anthony Elanga, who's on the bench. He was terrific in pre-season and combines the agility of a winger with the instinct of a striker. He's also close to ready, if not ready, and looks plenty good enough to play for United.

United are starting to dominate, pinning Young Boys back as they seek a second goal.

Ronaldo didn't score in his first 26 Champions League games. Since then, he's rustled up 135 in 151.

There's been a lot of guff written and spoken about Ronaldo, but ultimately he's a colossal upgrade on Cavani, and perfect for a team who, until now, have scored too few tap-ins and headers and too few goals in big games.

GOAL! Young Boys 0-1 Manchester United (Ronaldo) It had to be! Fernandes turns up on the left and, with the outside of his right boot, curves a sc-rump-ti-ous cross in behind, eliminating four defenders from the game. Ronaldo, whose movement is just so, so so good, and he meets it first-time with a firm side-footer that's got enough pop on it to beat Von Ballmoos, who gets a decent touch that means it dribbles rather than fizzes through his legs and over the line.

Elia collects a fine ball out to him on the left and he slows up Lindelof then feints inside and drags outside, rinsing by him only to hammer a low cross that eludes everyone. That's a let-off for United.

Better from United, moving the ball out left through Pogba, but Shaw's cross is too loopy and Von Ballmoos collects.

The pitch is very green, like it's on a computer screen, and a lot less threadbare than the 80s versions QPR and Luton had - yes, and Preston, but I don't think I ever saw that one. Liverpool, in particular, hated playing on them, but there was something amusing about players ripping their knees and thighs to shreds just like the rest of us.

Young Boys are sitting off United, who need to move ball and feet quicker.

This has been a slow start.

Sancho and Van de Beek work the ball out of defence nicely but the move quickly runs out of momentum.

Shaw bustles forward and plays a wall-pass off Pogba, but no one makes an angle for him so Fassnacht makes the challenge.

Nice from Fernandes, pulling to the left touchline and clipping an oblique ball over the top from Sancho, making a decent run from the opposite side of the box. But he can't quite keep it in and Young boys will clear via goalkick.

United move it nicely on the carpet but then Elia barges Fred off the ball - that's not the first time we've seen that this season - and runs at the heart of the United defence, sliding a shot just wide of the far post from the edge of the box. It never looked like hitting the target but De Gea hurled himself in its direction nevertheless.

Uefa thought it'd be Pogba midfield and Van de Beek left, but it's the other way around, and Sancho is on the right as expected.

I hate to say it, but Solskjaer has a Michael Greco brush-forward. Babyface or not, it's time to get it shaved I'm afraid.

Off we go!

The players of both sides take the knee. Good.
