Young Boys 0-3 Manchester United LIVE: Uefa Champions League 2018-19 football as it happened - Paul Pogba stars

Young Boys 0-3 Manchester United
Uefa Champions League 2018/19
Venue: State de Suisse

Paul Pogba inspired Manchester United to a winning start to their Champions League campaign as Jose Mourinho's men overcame Young Boys and their potentially problematic plastic pitch.

With tough assignments against Valencia and Juventus to come, United knew just how important it would be to get three points in their Group H opener on the Stade de Suisse's synthetic surface.

United were not at their best in Bern but emerged victorious from this tricky encounter, with Pogba following his classy opener with a superb spot-kick and assist for Anthony Martial in the 3-0 win.

It was a comprehensive, if not always convincing, start to their Champions League campaign - and all the more satisfying as Mourinho's players appeared to avoid injury on the Swiss champions' controversial surface.
