Valencia 2-1 Manchester United: Another night to forget for Jose Mourinho as hapless Red Devils are beaten by struggling La Liga hosts
It was another night to forget for Manchester United and Jose Mourinho as they slumped to a 2-1 defeat in the Champions League against Valencia in their final Group H game.Carlos Soler’s first-half effort was followed up by a calamitous own goal from Phil Jones shortly after the interval.The Red Devils had already sealed their pathway to the knockout stages of the competition, but still had a chance to top the group ahead of Juventus.Manchester United lost their final Group H game against struggling Valencia4

That didn’t go to plan though, despite Young Boys doing them a favour by beating Juventus, as Mourinho’s men were outfought and outclassed by their struggling La Liga counterparts.Chances were few and far between for the visitors, who failed to get a foothold on proceedings.52m man Fred had a nightmare before being withdrawn in the second half, while Paul Pogba was yet again ineffective – somehow missing from three yards out when United were trailing 1-0.Substitute Marcus Rashford scored a late consolation for the Red Devils – but they ultimately deserved nothing from the game.

Star man – Dani Parejo

The former Real Madrid starlet, who once spent time on loan at Queens Park Rangers, is an excellent footballer.On a night where United stood still, the midfielder well and truly delivered.He took the game by the scruff of its neck and controlled proceedings in the centre of the park.When he’s on form, Valencia are too.Dani Parejo was superb at the heart of the Valencia midfield4

Moment of the match

A monumental mix-up in United’s back four right at the start of the second half put Valencia two goals to the good.The hosts played a hopeful pass through the middle, which Jones seemingly looks to have the situation under control.However, he decided to slide and knock it back towards goal – which proved to be a very bad decision as Sergio Romero came out and was beaten from the edge of the box.
