Premier League:  City away is always difficult and is turned out that way on Sunday, with a 3-1 defeat. City came out of the blocks flying and scored after 12 mins, up to that point United had only made 6 passes. the game settled after that but another City goal early in the second half left United with a mountain to climb. Lukaku won a penalty with his first touch after coming on  and Martial stepped up to reduce the scoreline to 2-1. However, with less than 10 minutes to go City outpassed United befor making in 3-1. It was a game of few chances, but City did create them all, United's only effort on target was the penalty. Palace at home after the international break is next.

Champions League: What an unlikely fininsh in Turin as United score twice in the last 5 minutes to come from behind and beat Juventus 2-1. Ronaldo had given Juventus the lead with a brilliant strike before Mata leveled from a free kick in the 85 minute after some lovely play by Martial, and the after Rashford had won a free on the left hand side, Young saw his cross go all the way to the far post where the Juve keeper and defenders couldn't keep it out, with Sandro getting the last touch. It was a bit of a smash and grab, but United win and get the 3 points. Next up is Young Boys at home on Tues 27 November, tickets are available for this game.
