Jose Mourinho’s men blew the opportunity to pip Juventus to first place in their group

That didn’t go to plan though, despite Young Boys doing them a favour by beating Juventus, as Mourinho’s men were outfought and outclassed by their struggling La Liga counterparts.Chances were few and far between for the visitors, who failed to get a foothold on proceedings.52m man Fred had a nightmare before being withdrawn in the second half, while Paul Pogba was yet again ineffective – somehow missing from three yards out when United were trailing 1-0.Substitute Marcus Rashford scored a late consolation for the Red Devils – but they ultimately deserved nothing from the game.

Star man – Dani Parejo

The former Real Madrid starlet, who once spent time on loan at Queens Park Rangers, is an excellent footballer.On a night where United stood still, the midfielder well and truly delivered.He took the game by the scruff of its neck and controlled proceedings in the centre of the park.When he’s on form, Valencia are too.4

Moment of the match

A monumental mix-up in United’s back four right at the start of the second half put Valencia two goals to the good.The hosts played a hopeful pass through the middle, which Jones seemingly looks to have the situation under control.However, he decided to slide and knock it back towards goal – which proved to be a very bad decision as Sergio Romero came out and was beaten from the edge of the box.
