Champions League: UEFA announces punishment for Man Utd ahead of Atletico clash

UEFA have fined Manchester United €10,000 after three fans invaded the Old Trafford pitch during their Champions League match against Young Boys in December.

The game, which was essentially a dead rubber, ended in a 1-1 draw.

During the match, three supporters managed to evade security and make their way onto the pitch.

United had taken the lead as Mason Greenwood opened the scoring after just nine minutes, but Fabian Rieder levelled with a stunning strike shortly before half-time.

Ralf Rangnick's men will now face Atletico Madrid in the last-16.

The Red Devils will be hoping to win the competition for the first time 2008 or at least reach the semi-final stage after last doing so in 2011.
