Man United 2-1 Villarreal LIVE! Ronaldo goal - Champions League result, match stream and latest updates today

Manchester United vs Villarreal - LIVE!

Alex Telles struck back with a magnificent volley from Bruno Fernandes’ clever free-kick, but United were still facing the prospect of sitting bottom of the group after a third of the fixtures had been played.
