Manchester United kick off their long and inevitably disappointing Champions League campaign away at Young Boys on Wednesday. The Swiss side qualified for the tournament by pipping Basel to their domestic title last season, though there is little in their squad for United to fear.

Little, perhaps, but the pitch. The artificial turf at the Stade de Suisse has long caused consternation for travelling sides, and José Mourinho has opted to leave his captain Antonio Valencia at home to avoid any possibility of aggravating an ongoing knee problem. Marcos Rojo and Phil Jones both miss out, though Diogo Dalot is expected to make his debut at right-back.
