Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho dropped Paul Pogba on the bench for the Champions League game with the Young Boys, with Alexis Sanchez not even in the group.
A victory over the Swiss champions would guarantee a qualification for the round of 16, provided that Valencia does not win the three points of their match at Juventus.
Mourinho made six changes to the team that started the 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace, with Pogba's omission in favor of Fred being the most prominent change.
Romelu Lukaku was also relegated to the bench, Marcus Rashford being part of a three-man attack line alongside Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard.

Sanchez, who replaced Pogba in the second half of the draw against Palace, fails to be part of the team.
