A series of league wins have put Manchester United at the top of the Premier League.

But for them, that's not enough.

With two consecutive seasons in the Europa League, the Reds are eager to make a difference in the Champions League this season.

In the Champions League group stage draw in August, Manchester United drew a nominee.

Europe's top giants have all been avoided by Manchester United, and their three opponents in Group F are all limited.

Villarreal, Atlanta, Bern young.

It's an interesting grouping.

Of the three opponents, the strongest opponent is naturally Villarreal.

And this La Liga powerhouse is Manchester United's opponent in the Europa League final last season.

The road is narrow.

When the two teams meet, Villarreal will surely want revenge and Manchester United will have to be prepared.

Although Atlanta is not a traditional giant, it cannot be said to be ironclad.

After all, they have played fiercely and resiliently in recent seasons.

After the draw was announced, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's language was still very conservative in front of reporters.

'We have no weak opponents, I respect them and this Champions League group stage is going to be a tough one.

The other giant fans who heard this were so angry that they wanted to hit someone.

If your group is a "difficult journey", then we are a "devil's journey."

The most unpleasant thing to look at Manchester United is Liverpool.

The extremely difficult group of deaths they drawn.

Look at their opponents.

Atletico Madrid, AC Milan, Porto.

It's all hard bones.

It's normal for anyone in this group to qualify.

There are several other groups, although they don't have such a dense battle of big clubs, but they are also full of sparks.

Manchester City meets Paris, and the two local tycoons meet.

Real Madrid drew Inter Milan, and in the same group were Shakhtar Donetsk, whose strength is greater than their fame.

The two top three in the odds list met - Bayern vs Barcelona, and the same group also has the strong Benfica.

Juventus and Chelsea meet again in the group stage and they will be battling it out to top the group.

This season's Champions League is full of sparks!

On September 15, Manchester United ushered in their first Champions League group stage match.

They play away at Bern Juniors.

Although it is an away game, Manchester United are full of confidence.

It's definitely no problem.

Not only do you have to win, but you also have to work hard to win the goal.

But unexpectedly, shortly after the game began, Manchester United was in trouble.

Wan-Bissaka maliciously fouled, brought down the opposing striker Niyamareu, ate a straight red, and was sent off.

Manchester United played 10 against 11.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made an immediate change, replacing Jadon Sancho with Diogo Dalot in a 4-3-2 formation.

There are only two on the front line: Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford.

They are stressed.

However, just after being sent off, United scored first.

With a front-court cooperation, Xia Xing once again became the hub of the team's offensive and defensive transition.

After the tackle, play the ball quickly!

Look for B fee!

B Fei receives the ball and makes a long pass to the goal!

Ronaldo quickly stepped forward and pushed smartly!

The ball goes into the net!

1 to 0!

Manchester United scored first!

Although they were sent off, they were able to end the first half with a one-goal lead, and Manchester United was better than nothing.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer continued to make changes in the second half, bringing on Raphael Varane for Donny van de Beek in a 5-2-2 formation.

He was clearly going to defend and counterattack.

Even if you can't score, you can accept the advantage of one goal, and you can get three points anyway.

But the youngsters at home are full of fighting spirit and resilience.

With a quick attack up front, their Cameroonian striker Niyamareu dribbled past the ball and slotted a shot from outside the box.

The ball bounced off the ground in the box, and De Gea was unexpected, so he could only watch the ball go into the net.

1-1, Bern Juniors equalised.

And that's not the end of it.

In the 87th minute of the game, taking advantage of the opportunity of a corner kick, Bern young striker Sebacheu headed the goal, hit a reverse corner, and the ball went into the net.

At 1-2, Manchester United were behind.

In the ensuing period, United gave it their all but were unable to find an equaliser.

In the end, they unfortunately lost their first game in the Champions League group stage.

Losing the first game and being the weakest opponent in the group, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is under a lot of pressure.

Speaking to the media after the game, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took the blame for his team's defeat on himself.

For management, the responsibility lies with him.

Back in Manchester the next day, the United players had a holiday, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer did not.

He was called in by the management for a meeting to discuss the unexpectedness of the game.

Although it does not affect his position, it seems to be a bad sign.

As if something bad might happen this season......

Fortunately, the league continues to win streaks and the team's morale has not suffered.

On 30 September, Manchester United hosted the second round of the Champions League group stage.

Their opponents are Villarreal, the strongest team in the group.

Without a doubt, this is the hardest contest.

Even Manchester United, who played all the main players in the Champions League final last season, only barely won the game and did not have an overwhelming advantage.

This summer, Manchester United bought Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and other stars, and Villarreal also brought in strong reinforcements in a row.

The 24-year-old Dutch striker Danjuma has been transferred from Bournemouth for 23.5 million euros.

The 23-year-old Argentine defender Foyth joined from Tottenham for 15 million euros.

The two main signings are both from the Premier League and are familiar with Manchester United.

Manchester United are under a lot of pressure in this game.

From the first minute of the game, the two sides were evenly matched.

Neither side failed to score in the first half, with both goalkeepers being the best performers for their respective teams.

In the second half, Villarreal opened the scoring.

In a fast attack in the frontcourt, new signing Danjuma shook off the space and made an inverted triangle return pass on the baseline, and the center forward Paco accurately pushed it into the net.

1 to 0!

Villarreal scored!

Soon, though, United returned to color.

In the 59th minute of the game, this time it was the cooperation of the left side, and the players on both sides who were fighting in the midfield suddenly divided the ball in the crowd by B Fei!

Find the left-back Telles who is fast forward!

Telles shoots from outside the box!

The ball goes into the net!

World Wave!

1 to 1!

Manchester United equalised!

The draw remained deadlocked until the second minute of stoppage time.

Xia Xing's cross from the left accurately found Ronaldo in front!

Cristiano Ronaldo's header hits the goal!

The ball smashes into the net!

Lore!

2 to 1!

This score was also maintained until the end of the game!

Before the start of the other game, Manchester United have three points from one win and one loss, and it is difficult to return to the top of the group! (End of chapter)
