The Champions League group stage begins this week and Manchester United’s first task is a trip to Switzerland to face BSC Young Boys.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have made a great start to the Premier League season, unbeaten and top on goals scored after four matches, the latest of which was a thrashing of Newcastle United.
That game saw the returning Cristiano Ronaldo net twice on his first game back at Old Trafford – and few would bet against the all-time top scorer in the Champions League adding more to his tally in midweek.
