Valencia steal a point from Manchester United
Manchester Oct 3 (IANS) Valencia came away with a point after battling Manchester United to a 0-0 draw in a Group H Champions League match.
The contest got off to a slow start and neither team posed a serious threat to the other s goal in the first half on Tuesday night.
United s best player was Marcus Rashford who didn t miss by much while Valencia s Gonçalo Guedes forced home goalkeeper David de Gea to make a stop reports Efe news.
Both squads showed more ambition after the break and Guedes came close before Paul Pogba drew a save from Valencia keeper Neto on a free kick.
A subsequent mistake by Pogba set up a chance for Michy Batshuayi but the Belgian sent his shot well over the cross-bar minutes before countryman and opponent Romelu Lukaku was stopped by Neto.
United s last gasp came in the 85th minute in the form of a Rashford strike that bounced off the cross-bar.
The result leaves United with 4 points two less than Group H leaders Juventus and three more than Valencia.
