Ole Gunnar's side lost 2-1 to Young Boys in the opening match of Group F in the Champions League. Ronald opened the scoring in the first half but the visitors could not handle the pressure from Young Boys and they ended up conceding two goals in the second half.
Here are the two occasions that The Red Devils lost the opening group stage in the UEFA Champions League and how they performed in the competition in those two seasons.
In 2015/16, Manchester United lost the opening group stage match against PSV. The Red Devils were eliminated in the group stages after finishing third in Group B.
In the 1996/97 season, Manchester United lost the opening match of Group C against Juventus. In that season, They were knocked out of the competition in the Semi-finals by Borussia Dortmund.
This season Manchester United is in Group F which comprises Villarreal, Young Boys, and Atalanta. All these three clubs are on form and Ole Gunnar should be careful about how he handles them.
