Damn! Right after the red card for Bissaka Young boys missed an opportunity. I have placed a single bet; both team to score though I will be hurt if Man United draw the match LOL. It was a somewhat easy opportunity to come back for Young Boys.
With 10 players, it will not be easy for Man United to lead the game till the end.

From the look of things United have fielded a strong team

Ole isn't playing around with that kind of line up.

No he isn't but the unexpected happened, Wan-Bissaka had a careless challenge which got him sent out with a straight red but would this change the face of the game ,I don't think so...Manchester United must press on as a way to defend otherwise these Young Boys team look dangerous when they are on the attack.

He's riding the momentum from the international break and first game back in the premier league. He probably has enough juice to perform well in this match unless the Young Boys would target him and intentionally rough him up.

He definitely is and I like how cool and collected his playing and showing no signs of fatigue,  I guess he still has plenty to offer but I hope Ole will substitute him out to give chance to other senior players and also just to allow him to rest.

Very surprising that Red Bull Salzburg leads in Seville and that although they have already missed an eleven shot. That Manchester leads is not surprising for me, they will probably win the game clearly even if Manchester has just received a red card.

The game Red Bull against Sevilla is for me still completely open.

Now to see if United can hold their nerve in 2nd half after Wan Bissaka's dismissal. Bad tackle, typically bad decision-making (although he's one of my favourite players in that position). Right after that they almost bled a goal to Fassnacht.

Meanwhile. Salzburg ahead as I predicted. Someone forgot to tell them how to play penalties though... and Sevilla showed them how to take one. Who said it was just going to be good from Bayern/Barca, eh?

[LGD2Business]

There were four penalties in only half time in Sevilla Salzburg match, I've never seen something like that before in Champions League level matches. Salzburg missed two of them and it's only 1-1 draw right now. The rain is too fast just like penalty rain in the game, some fans stop watching and ran away before half time end.
Meanwhile Ronaldo still scores, although Manu is in trouble after Wan-Bissaka's sent off, there is still a lot of time to play. Will Young Boys score in second half? They will try everything to get something out of this match.

Sevilla 1 - 1 Salzburg, both goals scored from penalties and of course this game can end both way, although I find Sevilla chances better.
ManU is leading, CR7 is proving again how important he is for the club, I think ManU will score another goal at least even if they are 1 player down.

[CryptoBuds]

In the Sevilla - Salzburg match, the guests unexpectedly took the lead, I think if Sevilla cannot recoup before the break, then it will have problems, since Zadbzburg can completely close.

If Red Bull Salzburg can't win today's match then it is their failure. They got 3 penalty chances in the first half. But only managed to score one goal. The match is now a 1-1 draw. Although the Sevilla team seems to be more stable than the Red Bull, the Red Bull is not a weak team. They have made many attacks. The match is competitive and enjoyable. It is not possible to predict which team will be able to win.

The young Boys team is not young, they are experienced enough. They are proving their strength. Although Manchester United was in full control in the first half, the Young Boys showed remarkable performance in the second half. Manchester players are not able to keep the ball in their possession. If there was an experienced striker in the Young Boys team, they would have crushed Manchester United's defense today.

Sad for those who thought Manchester United would win the title this season. In the first match, Manchester United is performing terribly against Young Boys. The match is now a 1-1 draw. Ronaldo scored the first goal in the 13th minute of the first half. I haven't seen any good attack from Manchester United players since the first goal.

Also don't forget Man United is playing with 10 players which turn any strong team into a weak one. Bissaka was an RB. Nevertheless, I got my bet win as I had placed my bet both team to score.
CR7 has been replaced by Matic who plays as defensive mid; this should be done from the beginning of 2nd half.

[CryptocurencyKing]

Man united are playing under a lot of pressure at this moment. It is obvious that Wan Bisaka's dismissal is the cause of this thing. They have just equalised and if this pressure increases, there will be more goals. Young boys have been possessing the game from the late phase of the first half till now. Playing through the middle, the wings and running committing the defenders and making them get booked. Ole has to introduce fresh legs to be able to match the energy levels of these Young Boys player. Also Young Boys need to be careful of their defence as they are coming out fully to attack, because Man united have fast runners on the counter.

Starting XI for Juventus.
Chiesa is still out for safety. At least some players are back from the national team games.

Young Boy's teamwork is just awesome. They are not relying on any particular player. Everyone on the team is playing very well. Since Manchester is now playing with 10 players. So the Young Boys are getting more and more opportunities to attack. Manchester United's players are only busy resisting the attack. They can't able to do counter-attack.

They should be playing better but it's hard to do that when their rhythm has been disrupted by the loss of one key player. It's still a good result for them if they hold out until full time. Good job on the Young Boys for pushing harder and taking advantage of their extra man.

Opening games are really tricky and I'm glad I skipped. Waiting for the Barca and Bayern game.

Manchester United are playing with 10 players, but all of Manchester's 10 team players are very experienced. Today they have completely lost form. They only made two shots. On the other hand Young Boy's players are attacking a lot. It seems they're playing against a Swiss Super League's team. I didn't think there would be such a rapid decline in the performance of Manchester United players. However, I also bet that both teams would score goals. But I thought Manchester United would win 2-1. Now it looks like the match is going to be a draw.

What a win!!!!! whhhhaaaat an excelllleeeeeelent match!!!! I can't believe a team like Manchester United lost to the Young Boys. Looks like I'm still dreaming. Lots of gamblers have lost bets today. Even I lost the bet today. Yet I am happy because I got a chance to enjoy a great match. But, Today is a nightmare for Red Devils fans.

One of the most illogical matches I've seen. An absurd removal in a harmless situation broke the whole game and Manchester lost. I think Bissaka should think carefully about his decision-making, in that situation there was no need for such a dangerous game.
As for the Sevilla - Salzburg match, despite the fact that Sevilla was able to recoup, Salzburg also had a good chance of winning. The penalty extravaganza also delighted me.

[swogerino]

What an ugly performance from Manchester United.They started great with a goal from Ronaldo but they got a red card which maybe impacted their game,however against a team like Young Boys which plays in a far inferior league they should have won.What is even more shameful is that Young Boys kept better possession of the ball and they dominated in attack by doing 8 corners to 1 against Manchester United which supposedly is giving a try to win the Premier League.That is just unacceptable to me,a loss to such team.

[coinlocket$]

Incredible, Manchester United lost vs Young boys, the King even scored but the swiss have won!

Not a great start for them 

[KingsDen]

I strongly believe Manchester United deserves a man better than Ole.
And most times I believe an unprofessional me can do better than the professional coaches, maybe when they are under pressure.
1. You had one defender red carded. Why not remove just one attacker (let's say Sancho) and replace with Dalot, sub Linderlof with Varane and maintain your 4-man defence. Playing 5 defenders when you are one man down will pressure your defence.
2. Why remove Ronaldo? Ronaldo dead or alive, in as much as he is in the pitch is the greatest threat. Two defenders of Young boys will always mark Ronaldo, as such covering for Man u 1 man down.
3. Why remove Bruno? Bruno has of recent scored Manchester United most outside box goals. A shorting 1 team will need Bruno for unexpected outside box shots.
