A goal from Marouane Fellaini in stoppage time – the first of his home team in more than 270 minutes of football in the Champions League – has bought a dismal new performance from Manchester United. They are at the last 16, where no one will fear them.
United did not start badly by his standards and Marcus Rashford should have let them advance five minutes from time, but he raised the score above the bar. But little by little, they were overwhelmed by the force of their habits, and although Rashford did his best to awaken them, they were soon as heavy and nil as usual.
The Young Boys, meanwhile, improved after half-time, which made the game more open and in 70 minutes they almost took advantage. United failed to clear a corner and Ulisses Garcia's shot was deflected by Kevin Mbabu, but David de Gea tried to get out of the penalty area to regain the advantage.
In the last 20 minutes, United struggled to create opportunities, but in the first minute of injury, Luke Shaw's striker was spun by Romelu Lukaku and the maestro did the rest.
SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION
What are United doing? There is no excuse for how United plays, plays and plays. They have no confidence in themselves, no pace and no idea what they do. It is impossible to get less of this group than Mourinho, and it is impossible to get less of them than what these players get. Mourinho has to develop his best combinations and stick to them.
MAN OF THE GAME
David de Gea (Manchester United) His backup of Mbabu was absolutely ridiculous. Without him, United would have lost.

KEY MOMENTS
5 '- Aaaaarrrgghh! Shaw looks to find Lingard but gets too much and it goes up to Rashford! He is in! The goalkeeper advances and cuts as he should on him … but the ball is not on the ground when shooting, he has too much, and crosses the bar! On the bench, Mourinho does not know if he has to laugh or chuckle.
26 '- Smalling plays like Sammer! He hits a ball in Lingard who, on the U-turn, delightfully delights in Rashford, 25 meters away. He takes a touch, takes a look and hits a zooter that skids just after the last post.
45 + 1 '- Assale finds Mbabu on the right and his cross finds Sow at the first post! He could hit it, but instead of trying a shot and send it wide! It was a great chance, ruined by stupidity.
55 '- Nice de Matic, who wins, moves it, gets it back and makes a good pass Martial, at the center of the box. He spins and the ball runs to Rashford, who takes his shot and cuts the near post. He was by far the most dangerous player in United, but his finish was not calm.
56 '- A martial shot is deflected, loop, and with Lingard standing on the ground in front of him, Von Ballmoos kicks his shutter. The ball falls invitingly for Fellaini … but he can not put his knee on the ground, beating very high at eight meters. Velly weaker, as my grandfather would have said.
70 '- Young Boys wins a free corner to the edge of the box, and Garcia has a dig that deviates Mbabu and OH MY DAYS WHAT SAVE! De Gea goes right and catches the booty of the hillock! Amazing.
75 – The Young Boys seem as likely to score as United now, and Garcia goes down on the left and back for Fassnacht in an obscene space. He plants a high shot.
90 + 1 '-GOAL! Manchester United 1-0 Young Boys (Fellaini) The maestro hits! Shaw connects one to Lukaku, who slips into the box, inside the box, Fellaini (Benito) reproaches Benito for taking his foot, turning and passing by Von Ballmoos. On the sidelines, Mourinho accidentally catches the attention, throwing the bottles of drinks on the grass like he was Paul Simonon. It's not Paul Simonon.
