Manchester United fans have followed their team to Moscow, the scene of their last Champions League success in 2008.
Their previous away trip in Group B saw United lose 2-1 to PSV Eindhoven, in a game which is infamous for Luke Shaw’s brutal leg break.
Ahead of their game with CSKA Moscow, it was clear that the young left-back was still in the thoughts of United fans, with some Russian supporters bringing custom made flags to the game…

With United defeating Wolfsburg in their last outing, a victory in Moscow will put Louis van Gaal’s club in a strong position to reach the next stage of the competition. Perhaps we may even see Shaw again in this season’s competition.
