Xtra Time Web Desk: Manchester United had the worst possible start to their Champions League campaign as they lost to unheralded Young Boys 1-2 at the Wankdorf stadium on Tuesday. Substitute Jordan Siebatcheu scored the stoppage-time winner for Young Boys as he pounced on a woeful back pass from Jesse Lingard in the fifth minute of stoppage time to spark wild scenes of celebration among the home fans.

United looked to be cruising to victory after Cristiano Ronaldo fired his side in front in the 13th minute. But United’s task was made more difficult after fullback Aaron Wan-Bissaka was sent off for a lunging tackle on Christopher Martins in the 35th minute.

United brought on French defender Raphael Varane at halftime and went to five at the back to try to see out the victory, but the hosts got a deserved equaliser through Nicolas Moumi Ngamaleu at the near post in the 66th minute.

The match headed for a 1-1 stalemate before Jordan Siebatcheu’s strike in the 94th minute. It was the latest winning goal in a Champions League match since Lucas Moura’s effort for Tottenham Hotspur against Ajax Amsterdam in the 2019 semi-finals.
