Champions league, a draw for Manchester United vs Young boys

Match report as Mason Greenwood scores stunner in 1-1 draw at Old Trafford; Ralf Rangnick changes entire XI and offers debuts to Tom Heaton, Charlie Savage and Zidane Iqbal; United finish top of Group F and will be seeded for last-16 draw

A much-changed Manchester United ended their Champions League group stage campaign with a 1-1 draw at home to Young Boys on Wednesday, 8th December 2021.

Ralf Rangnick was on a fact-finding mission as he changed his entire XI at Old Trafford, but the quality of Mason Greenwood won't have surprised him, the 20-year-old hooking a stunning effort into the bottom corner early on (9).

But Young Boys hit back just before half-time as Fabian Rieder curled a beauty into the top corner from the edge of the box after Donny van de Beek had given the ball away cheaply (42).

Chances were exchanged in a goalless second half, as United gave senior debuts to 35-year-old Tom Heaton and 18-year-olds Charlie Savage, son of Robbie Savage, and Zidane Iqbal on a night where several fringe players given much-needed minutes.

United were already guaranteed top spot before the game, but the draw extends their unbeaten run to five in all competitions, while Young Boys miss out on a Europa League spot, finishing bottom of Group F.
