The guests from Manchester were really brewed by Aaron Wan-Bissak, who was eliminated in the 35th minute after a foul on Christopher Martins. Although United still led 1: 0, it was clear that nothing easy awaits them on the artificial grass in Switzerland for the rest of the match.

And that began to materialize after the change of sides. In the 66th minute, Nicolas Moumi leveled Ngamaleu and in the fifth minute the setting was completed by Theoson-Jordan Siebatcheu. However, it was no longer in the jersey of the United jersey Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, which coach Solskjaer withdrew from the game shortly after the home equalizer. Instead, he sent a duo of Nemanja Matič and Jesse Lingard to the field.

In the studio of the British station Sky Sports, former English player and coach Paul Merson shook his head incomprehensibly at this step.

“The Young Boys were terrified of Ronald. That Lingard, he plays like I used to, runs backwards for the balls, which doesn’t help much when you’re already playing at ten. The home team then had to push on the halfway line, because there was no threat to them in the back. If there is no threat ahead, you will not win many matches, “Mason did not understand.

Solskjaer explained his intention at a post-match press conference. “The match has already lasted 70 difficult minutes, there was a lot of running, both today and in Saturday’s league match. Ronaldo is exceptional, but we also have to take good care of him. At that moment, it occurred to me that it was the ideal time to replace him, “Solskjaer explained.

He received a severe blow from Ronald and then a reward

“The artificial surface also took its toll. We wanted to use Nemanja’s experience to hold the ball more and also Jesse’s quick legs, “he added.

But the plan failed. United did not score the winning goal after the substitution, in addition, they collected in the fifth minute after Lingard’s mistake. He ran his small home to Siebatche and decided on a sensational victory for Bern, who by the way overshot the famous English team 20: 2.

“None of the footballers like to make mistakes, but they are just part of this game. We are people and every footballer sometimes makes mistakes. We will learn from it, Jesse will also learn from it and will be fine for the next league match with West Ham, “Lingard’s coach Solskjaer advocated.

Ronaldo also tried to lift the team spirit after disappointment in Switzerland. “It wasn’t the result we wanted, but now it’s time to knock it out and focus on the next match,” he urged teammates and fans on his Twitter account.
