Manchester United\u2019s Champions League campaign got off to a nightmare start as Jordan Siebatcheu\u2019s stoppage-time strike earned Young Boys a famous 2-1 victory against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer\u2019s 10 men in Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three-and-a-half months on from losing the Europa League final to Villarreal on penalties, the Red Devils were on course to return to continental action with a straightforward win after Cristiano Ronaldo\u2019s early opener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Portuguese\u2019s 135th Champions League goal came as the returning forward equaled Iker Casillas\u2019 appearance record in the competition, but the 36-year-old will want to forget his 177th match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aaron Wan-Bissaka\u2019s 35th minute sending off for a rash challenge on Christopher Martins Pereira changed the dynamics of the game, with Nicolas Moumi Ngamaleu levelling before Siebatcheu struck at the death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few could argue that the Swiss champions \u2013 managed by former Huddersfield boss David Wagner \u2013 did not deserve the result on a night when their performance was as impressive as United\u2019s was poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moumi Ngamaleu sent the Stadion Wankdorf wild when levelling and substitute Siebatcheu capitalized on a dreadful Jesse Lingard backpass to strike a stunning stoppage-time blow in the Group F opener.<\/p>\n
