Manchester United have qualified for the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League thanks to a late 1-0 win against Young Boys.
Ahead of Tuesday’s clash at Old Trafford, the Reds knew a place in the next round would be sealed with a win against the Swiss side, as long as Juventus beat Valencia in Turin.
While Young Boys made it tough throughout, that scenario is exactly how things panned out on the night thanks to Fellaini's injury-time clincher and Juve's 1-0 victory via a second-half Mario Mandzukic strike.

Manchester City could only manage a draw away to Lyon, but that result also means they will be in the last 16, and only need a point in their final game against Hoffenheim in a few weeks to top the group.
Meanwhile, in Group G, Real Madrid’s 2-0 victory against Roma ensured the reigning European champions will also be in the draw for the next round. They are the second Spanish side to qualify along with Barcelona, who were the only team to achieve the feat with two group games to spare.
The draw for the last 16 will take place on Monday 17 December in Nyon.
