Ronaldo off in tears after Juve bust-up

United anxieties with a goal against the run of play on 35 minutes.

There was no doubting the quality of the strike though. He started the move with a pass to Fred and when the ball broke back to him on the edge of the penalty area he shaped to shoot on his right foot, then checked back onto his left past Ali Camara before firing just inside a post.

Two minutes before the break, Pogba put United in control with his second, from the penalty spot, after Luke Shaw’s cross was handled by Steve von Bergen.

The visitors could feel hugely relieved to have a twogoal advantage at the break as it could so easily have been the other way round.

The lead steadied nerves and the Reds looked far more assured at the start of the second half.

Pogba’s goals had clearly sucked much of the confidence and enthusiasm out of Young Boys, but he had not finished and burst through midfield to set up Martial for the goal that made the game safe for United.

Martial (celebrating, left) cut in from the right and his shot took a deflection on its way past keeper David von Ballmoos. It was his first of the season and should be a confidence-builder.

The three-goal cushion allowed Mourinho to make changes, Marouane Fellaini and Juan Mata coming on for Fred and Rashford. His work done, Pogba gave way to Andreas Pereira on 75 minutes.
