Champions League

Manchester United vs Young Boys: Champions League | Preview

Old Trafford will welcome Young Boys of Switzerland on Tuesday night. Manchester United are on the verge of qualifying for Round of 16. The Red Devils need a win to go through next stage of the Champions League.

A stalemate performance against Crystal Palace at home leaves no excuses for the team as to why they should not improve. Red Devils have been goalless in 4 of their 8 games at home including 2 of Champions league, a draw against Valencia and a 1-0 loss to Juventus.

We can expect a clean sheet for De Gea as the visitors are comparatively frail and have only scored two goals in 4 Champions League games. But the way things have been going for United, a downhill roller-coaster ride won’t be surprising which will be a 3 point gift for Young Boys.
