The 2021-22 Champions League gets underway this week as Manchester United looks for a 100% perfect record against Young Boys. The match schedules for Tuesday at the Wankdorf Stadium, with kickoff at 7:45 pm.
The Red Devil enjoyed a thrilling performance with an emphatic 4-1 win over Newcastle United. Similarly, Young Boys put up a convincing 4-0 win over FC Zurich in the Super League.
The prodigal son’s return to Old Trafford was a pompous occasion marked with selling out of tickets. Cristiano Ronaldo did impress on his debut while bagging a brace to pick up three crucial points.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side made a solid start to the Premier League while bagging 10 points in the opening four matches. In addition, the side looks ready to pick up the points this week as they prepare for their next domestic fixture against West Ham.
Furthermore, the Red Devils face a hectic run of games while facing West Ham later in the EFL Cup. They also have a league game against Aston Villa before facing Villarreal in the Champions League.
On the other, Young Boys were the winners of the Swiss Super League for the 15th time last season. The side has been through six Champions League games to reach this far. Hence, there is much at stake still.
