Afternoon all and welcome to Young Boys v Manchester United!

Let the music play!

And here come the teams!

All this analysis and we've barely mentioned Bruno Fernandes, which makes you think what it must be like gameplanning for United. How do you prepare and shut down a team with so many players who can hurt you?

Rio Ferdinand is analysing Paul Pogba, who's been majestic in parts so far this season. Most particularly, his passing around the box has been so clever and composed; if he can keep that up while maintaining his intensity, United will do big things.

It's hard to feel sorry for a multimillionaire who plays for Man United but I kind of feel sorry for Victor Lindelof, who starts tonight. He knows Varane has been signed to have his spot, and also that there's nothing he can do about it - he's not getting stronger or faster and those are his big issues. If I was him, I'd be asking for a go in defensive midfield because there's a spot there and he might just have the passing for it.

Solskjaer tells BT that Saturday was a special day but every game is different and his tea need to earn the right to win again. He's not bothered about the artificial surface - coming from Norway he's used to it - and the pitch is quick, the players used to it. Asked about Van de Beek, he agrees it's an important night for him but the coaching team know what he's capable of and he's fitter and stronger now. Young Boys are physical and direct - he namechecks Aebischer and Fassnacht - noting that they've done well for Switzerland.

Other hand, their performances against Paris, twice, and Leipzig were miles better than anything they managed under the other two.

From a mate in the away end.

As four Young Boys, they've won the last four Swiss leagues, the most recent one by 31 points. But they lost their manager, Gerardo Seoan,e to Leverkusen, replacing him with David Wagner of Huddersfield fame, and now sit fifth with eight points after five games, already five behind FC Zurich, who lead the tale.

I'm glad that Sancho is starting on the right tonight, because United have needed a player for that position for ages. Greenwood is good in that role but doesn't stretch the play because he's looking to attack the box, whereas Sancho is more likely to go on the outside, making them harder to defend against.

Tonight, Pogba starts on the left of United's front three, but I very much doubt that'd be so if Rashford was fit or if the opposition was better - assuming Ronaldo starts all the big games, I can't see how Solskjaer could only pick one of Sancho, Greenwood and Rashford.

That said, if we assume that Pogba and Bruno will start the big games, it's hard to see how Van de Beek can complete the trio - the way I see it, of the players available only Scott McTominay has the necessary physicality - but you never know.

The headline news is, I guess, that Van de Beek inclusion. My guess is that he's been given this game to see if he can play in a deeper midfield role; it won't be as physical as the Premier League, so if he can't do it here, the assumption will be that he can't win do it there. He's put on some bulk in the summer, which'll help, but the main question - for me - is whether he can position himself to get on the ball. My biggest gripe with him is that games pass him by, and that'll need to change if he's to have a future at United.

United make three changes from the team that beat Newcastle at the weekend. At the back, Varane has a rest with Lindelof coming in, Fred replaces Matic in midfield, and Van de Beek - yes, you read that correctly - has Greenwood's spot. As I suppose we're mandated to add, Ronaldo starts.

Let's have a look at our teams...

Elite-level football on a Tuesday teatime - sometimes it's not a bad old life. And make no mistake, we're watching contenders here. As Chelsea winning the thing proved, United could've been good enough last season, but a disgraceful performance in Turkey was followed by a profligate one at home to Paris, so they went to Leipzig in the final group game needing a point and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer lost his nerve, sending out a needlessly defensive side that got battered in the first half.

Well, that won't happen again. We've not seen three at the back from United since, and the standard of attackers in the squad is such that they can take any team apart on any given day. They might still lack a midfielder to control games, but you can be sure that no side will relish facing them and they'll want to lay down a marker tonight.
