Cristiano Ronaldo made a triumphant return to Old Trafford as his Juventus side eased to a 1-0 UEFA Champions League Group H win over Manchester United, with Paulo Dybala’s first-half strike proving decisive.
It was a dominant display by the Bianconeri, who could have won far more comfortably than the scoreline suggested, and United must now head to the San Siro knowing they are likely playing for second spot at best in order to progress to the knockout stages.
United had won four of the last six meetings, but came into this on the back of just five wins from 12 games in all competitions and, not for the first time, they made a slow start. Quite literally. For the team coach got stuck in the chaotic Manchester traffic and arrived late. United wanted to avoid a repeat of the scenes during the last matchday which eventually saw them fined €15,000 (around £13,000) by UEFA for their late arrival and the subsequent delayed kick-off against Valencia.
