Breaking news : Ralf Ragnick reveals 5 Manchester United players who underperformed against Young Boys and he is set to sell them ,as wam bissaka stands first on his list .
Manchester United interim manager
Ralf Rangnick made a host of changes
when United hosted Young Boys in their
final UEFA Champions League Group
F fixture. Having secured top spot following
their win over Villarreal on matchday five,
Rangnick could afford to give some of
his youngsters a shot.

The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno
Fernandes, David de Gea, Harry Maguire
and a few other regulars were awarded a
much-deserved break at Old Trafford.
Donny van de Beek, Dean Henderson,
Juan Mata and Luke Shaw got the
opportunity to impress their new boss.
With Young Boys playing for a Europa
League spot, they were the more eager
side over the course of the match. But it
was Mason Greenwood who put Manchester
United ahead after just nine minutes.
The youngsters read Luke Shaw’s cross
well and volleyed it first time, finding
the bottom-left corner with ease.
Manchester United were expected
to build on the goal as the game
progressed, but failed to make their chances
count. Three minutes before half-time,
Fabian Rieder scored a stunner to restore
parity for the Swiss outfit.
Winning possession on the edge of the
United box, Rieder calmly curled the ball
into the top-right corner of Henderson’s
goal. The second half was not as eventful
as the first, with the hosts failing to make
home advantage count, with the game ending
1-1.
Although inconsequential, Manchester
United were expected to end their group
stage proceedings on a high.
Here are the five Manchester United
players who kept the fans from enjoying
a win at Old Trafford on Wednesday:
#5 Jesse Lingard

Manchester United used a 4-1-4-1 formation
against Young Boys, which saw Jesse
Lingard take an advanced role, sitting right
under Greenwood.
Surprisingly, the usually trigger-happy
Englishman refrained from trying his
luck in the UEFA Champions League
fixture and faded away as the match
progressed.
His work rate came in handy
in Rangnick’s pressing machine, but we
expected him to be more lethal going
forward.
In the 31st minute, Lingard received
a cut-back from Amad Diallo inside the
box, but couldn’t position himself to
take the shot.
#4 Anthony Elanga

Manchester United teenager Anthony
Elanga started on the left wing against
Young Boys on Wednesday night.
His pace and pressing ability helped the
Red Devils progress through the thirds
but a lackluster finish let him down.
After a decent first half, Elanga started
the second 45 rather strongly. He nearly
played Greenwood through on goal
before finding himself in a one-on-one
situation against the Young Boys keeper
Guillaume Faivre.
Unfortunately, his low drive was not
convincing enough and was dealt
with by Faivre.
#3 Donny van de Beek

Ralf Rangnick is determined to give
all his Manchester United players a
chance to impress. Donny van de Beek
was one of the many fringe players who
got the opportunity to show his mettle against
Young Boys on Wednesday night.
His performance was not abysmal
by any means but was disappointing
nonetheless, especially due to the first
-half error that led to the Swiss team's
equalizer.
Van de Beek started the game strongly,
even though he was active as a sole holding
midfielder. The Dutchman was practically
everywhere and cut out passing lanes
expertly.
Unfortunately, his good work came
undone in the 42nd minute when he
underhit a pass to Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Rieder intercepted it and curled the ball
home from the edge of the box.
#2 Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Diogo Dalot’s exceptional run of form
has forced Aaron Wan-Bissaka to warm
the Manchester United bench in recent
matches. The Englishman had the
opportunity to win Rangnick’s confidence
with his performance against Young Boys
on Wednesday night.
Unfortunately, he could not quite
bring out the explosiveness everyone
associates with him.
Wan-Bissaka tried to push forward
but his distribution was a big letdown.
He could not communicate effectively
with his teammates, squandering possession
every now and then.
The right-back was also caught on his
heels for Young Boys’ superb equalizer
just before the half-time whistle
. The goal probably could have been
avoided, had the full-back been on his
toes and reacted a bit quicker.
Over the course of the 90 minutes,
Wan-Bissaka did not attempt a shot,
failed to make even a single key pass,
and lost possession 19 times. He ended
his night by clattering into advertising
hoardings and had to be stretchered out.
#1 Nemanja Matic

With Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire
left out of the starting XI, Manchester
United midfielder Nemanja Matic got the
rare opportunity to captain his side.
Rangnick’s experimental XI saw him
play as a centre-back alongside the
ever-dependable Eric Bailly. Playing
out of his natural position, Matic never
looked very confident and struggled
to impose his authority.
In the first half, he was still passing
around nicely and could play the ball
out with relative ease. However, his
distribution dipped as the game
progressed. The Serbian's sloppiness
led to two shots towards goal by the
visitors, but they could not make it count.
Against Young Boys, Matic only
performed one clearance, intercepted
the ball once and was dribbled past with
ease on one occasion. He gave away
possession 10 times in the match and
did not contribute much to Manchester
United’s build-up.
