We go again!

Elsewhere, it's Sevilla 1-1 Red Bull. Both goals were penalties, and Sevilla have also missed two penalties.
18:33
That started slowly but improved, and the second half should be a lot of fun.

Half-time: Young Boys 0-1 Man United

Fassnacht, who's playing well, puts in a similar challenge on Fred as Wan-Bissaka did on Martins, but pulls out just enough to only earn a yellow card.
45'
There'll be one additional minute.

I'm not really sure who's meant to be defending United's right flank along with Dalot because at the moment, they've got four central midfielders on the pitch, all of whom prefer the left side.

United need to get themselves organised and fast. Young Boys are getting the ball out left whenever they can and this time, the ball goes back inside to Sierro, who scuffs a shot that De Gea saves easily enough.
40'
This is a really interesting game now, and a big chance for Dalot. Wan-Bissaka will, I imagine miss the next two games, allowing him to show he's an option as a more attackingly able right-back, if that's what he is.

Ye've gottae score! Elia again shows up on the left and cracks a low, hard cross that all the defenders miss and here's Fassnacht, arriving onto it and making a gorgeous connection, lacing towards the car corner from eight yards ... but no! It goes just wide.

Poor Sancho, who's started his United career slowly, is yanked, with Dalot replacing him and going to right back. I guess United will play a 4-4-1.
36'
United looked really comfortable before that, and I'm not really sure what to say. I don't think it was a wild challenge, but it was definitely a painful one.

RED CARD FOR WAN-BISSAKA! Pursuing his own poor touch he goes to win the ball - his eyes are on it and I think he gets a slight touch - but he carries on past and treads all over Martins’ foot so the ref shows him a red card. I'd not have complained had it been a yellow, but I can see why it wasn't.
33'
Fred collects a poor clearance from Von Ballmoos, but Sancho slips receiving his pass and the attack breaks down.
32'
Pogba mistimes a leap, though Siermo backs in I think, Kane-style, and when the ball slides off his head, Aebischer collects and slams a shot just wide from 20 yards.
30'
United work it out to Wan-Bissaka down the right and he crosses first-time - that's out of character but in a good way - and it's a decent effort, though Von Ballmoos collects.
30'
The tempo has picked up these last 15 minutes; this is a decent game now.
29'
My system crashes, apologies, but it's still 0-1.

Young Boys are into this now, Fassnacht swaying away form Pogba just outside the box to fashion a shooting angle before lashing low and hard ... De Gea does well to dive full-length and tip away ... before United speed into a counter, Ronaldo lashing left-footed from a tight angle only for Von Ballmoos to stand up as long as possible at his near post, beating away well.
23'
Better from Young Boys, Siermo picking up an improperly cleared corner and crossing well, with Camara getting up first .. but he can't get enough on his header and the ball skews away from goal.
