While it briefly appeared that Jose Mourinho had found some breathing room at Old Trafford, questions surrounding his future will surely once again begin circling.
Despite previously not tasting defeat against an Italian side in the last 11 years, Manchester United once again struggled on the European stage.
With an unmarked Paulo Dybala finishing from close range following a cross from the returning Cristiano Ronaldo, Mourinho’s side struggled to find any real foothold in the game.
Now in a battle to secure second spot in Group H, United’s trip to the Allianz next month is looking increasingly important.
As for Juventus, a commanding victory for a side who already sit four points clear at the top of the Serie A table, Massimiliano Allegri’s side have already confirmed their spot in the knockout stage.

Juventus could be contenders
Although Allegri has managed to secure four consecutive double winning seasons during his tenure in Italy, the 51-year-old is yet to bring European success to The Old Lady.
