It had been 15-and-a-half years since the most decorated sides from England and Italy last met in a competitive fixture, but anyone watching Tuesday's Old Trafford encounter will be under no illusion who is now in the better health.
Juventus toyed with United at times as Ronaldo enjoyed a winning return to his old stomping ground, with his cross leading to Paulo Dybala's goal on an evening that sometimes threatened to be far worse worse than the eventual 1-0 scoreline.

Manchester United 0-0 Juventus
A chance for Juventus. Juan Cuadrado picks out Dybala in the box, but he's off balance as he heads at goal. The visitors are coming into the game after a slow start.
GOAL FOR JUVENTUS!
The visitors are in front and it's Dybala who capitalises on a loose ball in the box. Just yards out, he beats David de Gea and gives Juventus the lead.

Manchester United 0-1 Juventus
Juventus are beginning to control this game. It was more sloppy defending from United in the buildup to the goal, and the away side look in a confident mood.

Shakhtar Donetsk 0-0 Manchester City
Still no goals in Ukraine. City have put in several dangerous crosses, but as yet they've been unable to cut through the Shakhtar defence. Patience might be required here.
27 minutes
Manchester United 0-1 Juventus
Juventus have enjoyed over 70% of the ball at Old Trafford so far. It's perhaps not surprising, but United will surely need to be less passive if they are to get back into this.
30 minutes
Manchester United 0-1 Dybala
Cancelo and Dybala are proving to be the danger men for Juventus. The latter forces a corner, which Bentancur heads narrowly over the bar.
GOAL FOR CITY!
Manchester City lead at Shakhtar and it's David Silva who gets it.
