Champions League, Manchester United 0-1 Barcelona: 5 errors from United that cost them the game

#1 Poor performances from multiple players

Manchester United v FC Barcelona - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final: First Leg

A lot of players were extremely poor on the night. Paul Pogba had few moments of quality but failed to assert his influence on the game. He was partnered with two hard-working players in Fred and McTominay, both of whom worked extremely hard and sweated it out on the pitch. However, Pogba was hardly the player that United needed on the night. Sadly, he was not the only one.

Marcus Rashford was poor with his running and finishing and should have scored a goal. Romelu Lukaku had a rare chance to impress through the middle. The Old Trafford faithful wanted him to torment Clement Lenglet, but that never happened. But the biggest culprit of the night was United's skipper, Ashley Young.

Solskjaer's decision to use Young as a wing back instead of Dalot backfired. The Englishman was extremely poor going forward. He was guilty of indecision and his lack of precision cost United on counter attacks multiple times. Young was ineffective in his defensive duties too and he was one of the players whose poor performances cost United the game
