Since the Newcastle game, it's becoming evident that United would start a game slow and left all to do in the second half. The Red Devils started the game slowly today and never looked to make any forward movement on or off the ball.

Juventus had all the possession in the first half and got numerous chances to take the game away from the home team in the first 45 mins.

Though Juventus was the better team in the first 45 minutes which looked a one-sided game, United looked to force the issue in the second half. Jose Mourinho's side found width in the flanks and carved out few crosses but nothing noteworthy to trouble the Juventus defence. Lukaku didn't look sharp at all as was Marcus Rashford.

Manchester United are now second in the group and still have everything to fight to progress into the next round.
