Manchester United conceded a dramatic stoppage-time goal as they lost to Young Boys 2-1 despite Cristiano Ronaldo scoring on his Champions League return for the Red Devils.

With this match, Ronaldo became the joint all-time Champions League appearance holder on his 177th appearance in the competition.

United played for almost an hour with 10 men after Aaron Wan-Bissaka's dangerous challenge on Christopher Martins earned the defender a straight red card.

Moumi Ngamaleu and Jordan Siebatcheu scored a goal each for Young Boys.

The home fans celebrated wildly while United Manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was left to reflect on what might have been.

Having missed out on qualifying for the knockout stages of the competition last season, United now host Villarreal in their next Group F game on 30th September in a repeat of last season's Europa League final.
