The reverse fixture in Switzerland saw United put in perhaps their best performance of the season, easing to a 3-0 win courtesy of Paul Pogba’s double and an Anthony Martial strike.However, United head into Tuesday’s encounter on the back of a miserable 0-0 home draw with Crystal Palace, that keeps them 14 points off top spot in the Premier League.Jose Mourinho’s side are still being heavily backed to defeat their Swiss opponents, but Young Boys will arrive at Old Trafford knowing that this United side are playing well below their full potential right now and are there for the taking.

Iwant to play this game like a knockout game like we have to win.”Gerardo Seoane (Young Boys): “I think Manchester United are strong at home and, for sure, also they want to show to their crowd that they are strong also at home. This stadium has a big tradition.”
