Cristiano Ronaldo wasted no time in showing how valuable he will be to Manchester United but Tuesday’s shocking Champions League defeat to Young Boys in Bern was a reminder that Old Trafford’s side did not have not been a major player at this level for a long time.
Ronaldo scored his third goal in two games since returning to United as the visitors went early to Wankdorf Stadium, but Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s dismissal shortly before the interval was the one that hampered the opening of Group F.

Young Boys, the Swiss champions whose most notable performance in the European Cup continues to the semi-finals back in 1959, made the best use of their extra husband as Cameroon’s Nicolas Moumi Ngamaleu won the 66 minute draw.

U.S. striker Jordan Siebatcheu then won it deep at the time of the injury after catching a misjudged pass from Jesse Lingard.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are now on the back foot, with Young Boys theoretically the weakest team in a section that also includes Atalanta and Villarreal, who beat United in the Europa League final. of last season.

“You need 10, maybe 12 points. You need to win your home games and maybe one away. We missed an opportunity to get three points but we have two games in the next home,” Solskjaer said.

Last season United won their first two games in a difficult group against Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig, but still finished in third place.

It’s really been a decade since the Old Trafford club was a genuine force in the Champions League, something they are desperate to fix this season.

Since losing to Barcelona in the 2011 final, United have won two qualifying rounds, one against Olympiakos and an infamous win over PSG in the early days of Solskjaer’s reign.

A club that remains the fourth richest in the world according to Deloitte’s most recent Football League League will continue to live on the glories of the past that won them three European Cups.

There have been no Premier League titles since 2013 but Ronaldo’s signing is supposed to bring them back to the top and the Portuguese veteran has returned to Old Trafford in the belief that United are a better bet than Juventus if he wants to win his sixth Champions League medal.

This was the first appearance of the 36-year Champions League with the United shirt since the 2009 final defeat against Barcelona in Rome.

It was another record-breaking occasion as he made his 177th appearance in the competition, and was equal to the all-time mark set by Iker Casillas.

His goal that put the visitors ahead in the 13th minute was his 135th in the Champions League, beating him 15 ahead of old rival Lionel Messi at the top of the scorers ’standings. any time.

There were dotted fans all over the country in Bern – where West Germany beat Ferenc Puskas’ Hungary in the 1954 World Cup final – with United’s red jerseys with Ronaldo’s name and the number seven on the back.

They saw him score and also thought he could have had a penalty early in the second half when he came under pressure from Mohamed Ali Camara.

Nothing was given, and Ronaldo left with Bruno Fernandes in the 72nd minute, with Nemanja Matic and Jesse Lingard replacing the Portuguese pair.

“The game had gone 70 minutes odd, they had been going on for a long time, both on Saturday and today. The astroturf takes it too, and we wanted Nemanja’s experience on the ball, and Jesse’s feet,” he said. Solskjaer, who offered a valid estimate of his striker.

“You can never be surprised by a man. He scored another goal and should have had a penalty.

“It’s exceptional but we have to look after it as well and it felt like the right moment to remove it.”

Maybe it was a mistake in the background.

Solskjaer must hope that this defeat will turn out to be a simple blip but his record is not encouraging – United have now lost seven of their 11 Champions League games under the Norwegian.
