NOT TWO GOOD
Manchester United managed just TWO shots in their shocking display against Young Boys.
That is their lowest tally in a Champions League match for 138 matches – or SEVENTEEN years.
The last time they were so shy in front of goal was way back in the 2003-04 season, Cristiano Ronaldo's first with the Red Devils.
Ronaldo, unsurprisingly, was responsible for both of the efforts.
And the Portuguese superstar did score with one of them to give United the lead.

ELSEWHERE IN GROUP F
Following United's defeat in Young Boys, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are now bottom of Group F after the first round of fixtures.
That's courtesy of Atalanta and Villarreal's 2-2 draw in Spain this evening.
Remo Freuler gave the visitors a sixth minute lead, before goals by Manu Trigueros and Arnaut Danjuma turned the game on its head.
Robin Gosens snatched a point for Atalanta, however, before Francis Coquelin was shown a late red card.

ON GARD
Jesse Lingard had to be consoled by Harry Maguire after his gaffe handed Young Boys a last-gasp winner against Manchester United.
The Red Devils midfielder had a torrid time when he came off the bench to replace Cristiano Ronaldo in Switzerland.
Despite playing for over 20 minutes, Lingard had just EIGHT touches on the ball in the 2-1 defeat.
Only six of those were actual passes, and just one was a completed pass.
But Lingard’s final touch proved to be ten-man United’s undoing, as the England ace teed up Theoson Siebatcheu to fire past David De Gea for 2-1.

SAME OLE STORY
Man United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has explained why he took Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes off with 20 minutes remaining against Young Boys.
He said: "The game had gone 70-odd minutes, they had been running a lot on Saturday and today.
"We wanted Nemanja Matic's experience to keep hold of the ball and Jesse Lingard's legs."

'I'M HOWLING'
Manchester United fans fumed as Cristiano Ronaldo was subbed off in the 71st minute in tonight's 2-1 defeat against Young Boys.
One tweeted: “Ronaldo out, Lingard in. Ole masterclass.
Another said: “Ronaldo hooked for Lingard, I’m howling.”
One noted: “Matic on for Bruno is good, but Lingard for Ronaldo is bizarre.”
Another added: “We need a goal so Ole takes off Ronaldo for Lingard…”

RED MIST
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has had his say on Aaron Wan-Bissaka's red card earlier this evening.
He told MUTV: "That’s a little bit the astroturf, Aaron gets a touch that’s too far and he gets the all but he follows through.
"It’s hard to argue against the referee but then he didn’t go through his ankle, he hit him on the top of his foot."

SCHOL-DING
Man United legend Paul Scholes would like to have seen Ole Gunnar Solskjaer use his substitutions differently against Young Boys.
He said: "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."

RIO RUE
BT Sport pundit Rio Ferdinand has been left dismayed by tonight's Man United result.
He said: "This is last year all over again. We rued mistakes then and that is a big mistake at the end from Jesse.
"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."
