MISSED CHANCE

Mourinho might also have had one eye on an upcoming game, with United playing great rival Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday.

His understrength team still featured Pogba, France's World Cup-winning midfielder who has fallen out of favor with Mourinho and started on the bench for the last two Premier League games.

Pogba's chances of getting back in the starting lineup for the weekend won't have been helped by his bad miss when the score was 0-0, prodding the ball wide from inside the six-yard box.

Carlos Soler put Valencia in front with a driven first-time finish after latching onto Jones' clearing header in the 17th, and the United center back made an even bigger error for the second goal in the 47th. Jones slid in to clear the ball as he chased down Valencia striker Michy Batshuayi, but only succeeded in slotting it past Sergio Romero from 20 meters with the goalkeeper having come off his line.

Marcus Rashford pulled a goal back in the 87th for United.

Ronaldo played the whole game for Juventus, which was undone by goals from veteran Young Boys forward Guillaume Hoarau in the 30th and 68th minutes. Paulo Dybala cut the deficit in the 80th.
