Maroune Fellaini’s last-minute winner sees Manchester United through to knockout stages

Relive all the action from Old Trafford

Man United v Young Boys - Champions League match preview

Jose Mourinho let his pent-up anger out on some water bottle holders after dreadful Manchester United rode their luck to seal progress to the Champions League last-16 through Marouane Fellaini's late strike against Young Boys.

With Juventus beating Valencia in the other Group H match, United knew victory against the Swiss champions - a side they beat 3-0 in Switzerland - would have secured progress with a match to spare.

But Mourinho's underperforming side lacked creativity, cohesion and confidence against a Young Boys side displaying all those characteristics, only for Fellaini to secure a lucky 1-0 win and progress to the knockout phase in stoppage time.

The United manager's frustration had been growing throughout the match and his angry celebration said it all as he kicked one water bottle carrier and threw another into the floor.

Victory meant United head to Valencia next month with progress assured, but Tuesday's performance raises more questions than answers given their tepid response to Saturday's goalless draw with struggling Crystal Palace.

Lyon 2-2 Manchester City, 88 minutes

Martin Terrier replaces double goalscorer Maxwel Cornet as the hosts make their final change in France. 

Phil Foden appears to be readied for a Manchester City alteration, but it won't happen just yet.

Lyon 2-2 Manchester City, 90 minutes

Two added minutes at the Groupama Stadium.

Foden will come on for the stoppage time. Sergio Aguero looks to have notched City a point and is replaced.

Manchester United 0-0 Young Boys, 89 minutes

If anything, Young Boys are the team looking more likely to score.

Ulisses Garcia is flagged offside pressing forward from left wing back. Just minutes left.

​Full time in Lyon - Manchester City are through! A 2-2 draw is enough and Pep Guardiola's team will be in the knockout stages.

​GOAL! Manchester United 1-0 Young Boys (Marouane Fellaini, 90 minutes)

There it is!

A long ball to Marouane Fellaini in the box, who uses his size to prevent the Young Boys defender reaching it.

It is a lovely piece of skill from the big Belgian, controlling the ball deftly with the side of his foot and firing accurately into the corner on the turn to surely snatch victory and progression for Manchester United.

Manchester United 1-0 Young Boys, 90 + 2 minutes

Oooooh, there was the slightest of touches off Fellaini's hand as he controlled that ball. A little lucky, but Manchester United won't care.

[27 November 2018 21:55 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

The full time whistle blows - Manchester United are through! Marouane Fellaini's late goal secures a 1-0 win and, when coupled with Valencia's 1-0 defeat in Turin, Jose Mourinho's men join their cross-city rivals in the last-16.

[27 November 2018 21:56 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

Manchester United really had to fight for that. David De Gea's sublime second half save, somehow managing to claw the ball off the line from a deflected shot, was absolutely crucial.

Let's round up all the results from around Europe...

So by my reckoning, that's Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Ajax, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Roma, Juventus and Manchester United through to the last-16 already.

Tasty.
