Manchester United 1-0 Young Boys: Jose Mourinho’s side secure Champions League qualification thanks to Marouane Fellaini’s late strike

Jose Mourinho’s men looked devoid of ides as they huffed and puffed, but could not find a precious strike.David De Gea made a wonderful save with the game scoreless to deny the plucky visitors what would have been a famous goal. However, with the clock running down, the Premier League side began to throw the proverbial kitchen sink at the minnows.Valencia’s result with Juventus in Turin means progress to the knockout stages is secured for United, but they surely have to perform far better than this to truly harbour any ambitions of progressing to the latter stages.Fellaini wheels away in celebration3

Mourinho had challenged his younger players before the game and looked decidedly angered by their performance on Tuesday night.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.Mourinho called into question some of his players’ “heart” and desire after that match, so his decision to drop Romelu Lukaku and Paul Pogba to the bench raised eyebrows almost as much as his decision to omit Alexis Sanchez entirely.Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho boots over a collection of water bottles.3

He then bristled when quizzed about that selection before kick-off and pointed to onlookers “always asking” him to play Marcus Rashford – a player who missed a fine chance in the opening minutes and numerous more over the course of the night.The United manager’s exasperation was clear and only increased as the match wore on, with Fellaini eventually securing a late win much to the relief of his manager and the Old Trafford faithful.
