Manchester United Fail to Grab Top Spot in UCL Group After Loss to Valencia

Manchester United blew the chance to take top spot in Group H of the 2018/19 UEFA Champions League after losing 2-1 at the Mestalla Stadium on Wednesday night.

Carlos Soler scored in the first half and a Phil Jones own goal two minutes after the break kept United as runners-up on a night leaders Juventus surprisingly lost 2-1 away to Young Boys.

A late Marcus Rashford goal was scant consolation for a United side that had already qualified. However, missing out on the chance to finish top means the Red Devils will be concerned about getting a tough draw for the round of 16.
