Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala combine as Juventus sink sorry Manchester United

United were unable to find a way past Juventus after conceding early

Cristiano Ronaldo Press Conference | Manchester United vs Juventus

Manchester United were outclassed as Cristiano Ronaldo's Juventus overcame Jose Mourinho's men in a Champions League clash that was worryingly one-sided at times.

It had been 15-and-a-half years since the most decorated sides from England and Italy last met in a competitive fixture, but anyone watching Tuesday's Old Trafford encounter will be under no illusion who is now in the better health.

Juventus toyed with United at times as Ronaldo enjoyed a winning return to his old stomping ground, with his cross leading to Paulo Dybala's goal on an evening that sometimes threatened to be far worse worse than the eventual 1-0 scoreline.

Strong record

Juventus are in formidable form against English opposition. They knocked Tottenham out in last year's Champions League, beat Manchester City twice in the group stages in 2015-16 and eliminated Chelsea in 2012-13. Manchester United, then, should be wary of suffering a similar fate.

Mourinho walks

No, he hasn't resigned. But he has taken drastic measures to reach Old Trafford on time. The team bus was delayed, so Mourinho and his entourage arrived on foot. At least he's keeping fit.

The Juventus lineup is in. As expected, Ronaldo leads the line, and he's joined in attack by Paulo Dybala.
