England face Poland again
England have faced Poland in qualifying for the 1974, 1990, 1994, 2006 and 2014 World Cups. The two sides also met in the finals in Mexico in 1986.
Poland have arguably the best striker in world football right now in Lewandowski, who has scored 70 goals in 61 appearances for Bayern Munich since the start of last season.
England last met Poland in qualifying for the 2014 World Cup, when the Three Lions won 2-0
"There is a great history with that fixture," said England manager Gareth Southgate. "There was a spell when we seemed to draw them all the time."
The group also sees England take on three sides they have beaten every time they have played them - Albania (four wins), Andorra (four) and San Marino (six).
"Poland are obviously a very good side," Southgate added. "Hungary just got promoted into the Nations League top division - so those two in particular will be games that will be tough.
"The rest, whenever I have played for England or managed them, are complicated games to navigate."
England's meeting with San Marino will stir memories of a World Cup qualifier between the two in 1993 when the Three Lions conceded after just 8.3 seconds - but they went on to win 7-1.
Wales have chance to repeat famous win
Ryan Giggs' Wales side may have been drawn against the word's top-ranked side, but the famous triumph over the Belgians at the European Championship four years ago will still be fresh in their minds.
The Welsh came back from a goal down to win 3-1 and reach the semi-finals of a major tournament for the first time.
Big chance for Scotland to qualify?
Scotland beat Serbia on penalties in their qualifying play-off final last month to reach Euro 2020
Scotland, who will play at next year's delayed Euro 2020, have been drawn in arguably the easiest group of the four home nations as they seek to qualify for a World Cup for the first time since 1998.
They have never lost to the Faroe Islands or Moldova and have a good record against the group's toughest opponents Denmark, triumphing in 10 of their 16 previous meetings.
A chance for revenge for Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland's group sees them renew hostilities with Switzerland, who controversially beat them in a play-off for the 2018 tournament.
Italy, whose last World Cup triumph came in the 2006 tournament, are 10th in the latest Fifa rankings, with the Swiss occupying 16th spot.
How does qualifying work?
Thirty-two teams will take part in the World Cup in Qatar, of which 13 will be from Europe.
The 10 group winners in qualifying will secure their place at the tournament while the 10 group runners-up will go through to the play-offs, along with the two best Nations League group winners who do not finish in the top two of their World Cup qualifying group.
The 12 play-off teams will be drawn into three separate play-off paths, each of which will comprise semi-finals and final, with the three winners heading to Qatar.
When are the World Cup qualifying group matches?
March 2021: Matchday 1-3
September 2021: Matchday 4-6
October 2021: Matchday 7-8
November 2021: Matchday 9-10
March 2022: Playoffs
And when are the World Cup finals themselves?
Because of Qatar's intense summer heat, this World Cup will be held from 21 November to 18 December 2022, making it the first not to be held in May, June, or July.
It is set to be played in a reduced timeframe of 28 days.

People in Wales will today be given the first batches of the Covid-19 vaccination hoping it signals the `` beginning of the end '' of coronavirus .
It comes a day after Wales reported 2,000 Covid cases in a single day for the first time and rates in some areas are among the UK 's highest .
People 's freedoms in Wales , as around the world , have been restricted more during the coronavirus pandemic than at any other time of peace .
The country has endured two lockdowns and nine months of restrictions while more than 3,000 people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ since March .
So the arrival of boxes of 975 Pfizer/BioNTech vaccination doses at Wales ' seven health boards on Monday `` feels like a turning point '' , according to Ms Ben-Sassi as she welcomed the vaccine to Wrexham 's Maelor Hospital .
`` It is important to remember that we are at the very beginning of a vaccination programme with a very new vaccine , so we are cautiously optimistic but the coming weeks will tell the success of the rollout . ''
How will the rollout begin ?
Refrigerated containers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be kept at -70C , have been arriving in the UK from Belgium , where it is made , since the weekend .

Mr Gething has also warned it `` would take months before some people were able to receive their vaccine '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going back to the old normal before the vaccine has given us the protection we need '' .
How safe is the vaccine ?
The UK is the first country in the world to approve the Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine as Britain 's medicines regulator says the jab , which offers up to 95 % protection against Covid-19 illness , is safe to be rolled out .

Millwall players will not take a knee before Tuesday 's Championship fixture against QPR but will stand arm-in-arm in a `` show of solidarity for football 's fight against discrimination '' .
Players of both teams will collectively hold up an anti-racism banner .
Millwall 's regular shirt sponsor will be replaced with the logo of anti-discrimination body Kick It Out .
In a statement , Millwall said : `` Millwall believe that this gesture , which the club hopes to repeat with other visiting teams in the coming weeks and months , will help to unify people throughout society @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forms of discrimination .
`` Millwall have a zero-tolerance policy against racial and all other forms of discrimination and want to again make clear to anybody who holds such views that you are not welcome at this football club .
Millwall 's stance , as always , is that anybody found guilty of racial abuse is banned for life . ''
The decision came after a meeting on Monday between both clubs , Kick It Out , Show Racism The Red Card , the Professional Footballers ' Association ( PFA ) , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ English Football League ( EFL ) .
In a statement , the EFL welcomed the decision of both clubs to `` continue to raise awareness of inequality and discrimination facing society '' .
`` Discrimination in any form is unacceptable and not welcome within our game or our communities - not today or any day , '' the statement said .
`` Players often receive widespread criticism and negativity for merely doing their jobs but here they are leading the way , trying to effect positive change and they should be applauded for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ setting an example for others to follow . ''
Some QPR players will take the knee before Tuesday 's game at The Den , despite having stopped the gesture earlier this season after director of football Les Ferdinand said its impact had `` been diluted '' .
Players , officials and staff at Premier League and EFL games have been taking a knee pre-match since football restarted in June in order to show their support for the Black Lives Matter movement for racial equality .
The Den was able to host 2,000 home @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after the second national lockdown was lifted but the return of spectators was overshadowed by the booing , with which Millwall said they were `` dismayed and saddened '' .
The Millwall Supporters ' Club said the booing was not motivated by racism , but instead in opposition to the political views held by the Black Lives Matter organisation .
The FA has confirmed it is investigating the incident at Millwall , and a similar one at Colchester United 's League Two game against Grimsby Town .
If it finds that the actions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fines .
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live 's Monday Night Club , former England defender Micah Richards said booing is `` not acceptable '' .
`` Millwall fans , from their point of view , this whole movement is becoming political .
They 're saying they do n't think the players at their club should want to kneel because of what Black Lives Matter represents in their mind , '' he said .
`` If they 're booing that , it 's not acceptable , but it 's free speech and that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people are taking Black Lives Matter in a different context and changing the actual narrative of what it 's all about .
`` When the players are taking the knee they are not saying black lives matter and they are any better than white lives , they are trying to say it 's a stand for equality and unity and that is why they are taking the knee . ''
Sources described this evening 's meeting as `` difficult but productive '' .
It is understood the PFA was critical of the EFL @ @ @ @ @ @ @ feeling many at the club share , having told it beforehand of what they feared was likely to happen at The Den on Saturday .
There are many unanswered questions for football and Millwall in particular and evidently solutions will not be easy .
However , the sense of desperation hanging round the club on Monday has now been replaced by a mixture of trepidation and optimism .
No-one at the club can be entirely sure of what will happen when the QPR players take a knee as planned before kick-off but the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ backed the booing on Saturday is that these measures should be supported .
Millwall can only hope this is what happens .
Because if what happened on Saturday is repeated , even insiders know the damage to the club will be catastrophic .

Millwall players were booed when they took a knee before Saturday's match against Derby
Millwall players will not take a knee before Tuesday's Championship fixture against QPR but will stand arm-in-arm in a "show of solidarity for football's fight against discrimination".
It comes after some Millwall fans booed the players taking a knee before Saturday's defeat by Derby at The Den.
Players of both teams will collectively hold up an anti-racism banner.
Millwall's regular shirt sponsor will be replaced with the logo of anti-discrimination body Kick It Out.
In a statement, Millwall said: "Millwall believe that this gesture, which the club hopes to repeat with other visiting teams in the coming weeks and months, will help to unify people throughout society in the battle to root out all forms of discrimination.
"Millwall have a zero-tolerance policy against racial and all other forms of discrimination and want to again make clear to anybody who holds such views that you are not welcome at this football club. Millwall's stance, as always, is that anybody found guilty of racial abuse is banned for life."
The decision came after a meeting on Monday between both clubs, Kick It Out, Show Racism The Red Card, the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA), the Football Association (FA) and the English Football League (EFL).
In a statement, the EFL welcomed the decision of both clubs to "continue to raise awareness of inequality and discrimination facing society".
"Discrimination in any form is unacceptable and not welcome within our game or our communities - not today or any day," the statement said.
"Players often receive widespread criticism and negativity for merely doing their jobs but here they are leading the way, trying to effect positive change and they should be applauded for taking a stand, showing solidarity and setting an example for others to follow."
Taking the knee is showing solidarity, not a political statement - Southgate
Some QPR players will take the knee before Tuesday's game at The Den, despite having stopped the gesture earlier this season after director of football Les Ferdinand said its impact had "been diluted".
Players, officials and staff at Premier League and EFL games have been taking a knee pre-match since football restarted in June in order to show their support for the Black Lives Matter movement for racial equality.
The Den was able to host 2,000 home fans for the first time this season after the second national lockdown was lifted but the return of spectators was overshadowed by the booing, with which Millwall said they were "dismayed and saddened".
The Millwall Supporters' Club said the booing was not motivated by racism, but instead in opposition to the political views held by the Black Lives Matter organisation.
The FA has confirmed it is investigating the incident at Millwall, and a similar one at Colchester United's League Two game against Grimsby Town.
If it finds that the actions were discriminatory, the clubs could face fines.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club, former England defender Micah Richards said booing is "not acceptable".
"Millwall fans, from their point of view, this whole movement is becoming political. They're saying they don't think the players at their club should want to kneel because of what Black Lives Matter represents in their mind," he said.
"If they're booing that, it's not acceptable, but it's free speech and that is their opinion, but I think people are taking Black Lives Matter in a different context and changing the actual narrative of what it's all about.
"When the players are taking the knee they are not saying black lives matter and they are any better than white lives, they are trying to say it's a stand for equality and unity and that is why they are taking the knee."
Analysis
BBC Sport football reporter Simon Stone
Sources described this evening's meeting as "difficult but productive".
It is understood the PFA was critical of the EFL's perceived lack of involvement, a feeling many at the club share, having told it beforehand of what they feared was likely to happen at The Den on Saturday.
There are many unanswered questions for football and Millwall in particular and evidently solutions will not be easy.
However, the sense of desperation hanging round the club on Monday has now been replaced by a mixture of trepidation and optimism.
No-one at the club can be entirely sure of what will happen when the QPR players take a knee as planned before kick-off but the noises among fans on social media who backed the booing on Saturday is that these measures should be supported.
Millwall can only hope this is what happens. Because if what happened on Saturday is repeated, even insiders know the damage to the club will be catastrophic.

bbcuk--2020-12-08--When will you be eligible for the Covid vaccine?

The second phase of vaccination will focus on the rest of the population , mainly the under-50s , who are @ @ @ @ @ ill with Covid-19 and therefore less of a priority .

Covid booster: Who can get another jab this spring? Published 9 March
Image source, PA Media
Those most at risk from coronavirus will be offered another vaccination this spring.
Across the UK, more than 151 million Covid vaccine doses have been given.
Who can have a spring booster?
The government has confirmed an extra booster vaccine dose will be offered to:
adults aged 75 years and over
residents in a care home for older adults
individuals aged five and over who are immunosuppressed
Those eligible will be offered the vaccine about six months after their previous dose.
Scotland's booster campaign will begin in the final week of March.
Vaccinations in England and Wales will start in early April, with Northern Ireland's rollout from mid-April.
People at higher risk from Covid are also expected to be offered a further booster vaccine dose in autumn 2023.
Who was able to get an autumn booster?
This was offered to a wider range of people:
people aged 50 and over
those aged five to 49 with health conditions that put them at higher risk - including pregnant women
care home staff
front-line health and social care workers
carers aged 16 to 49
household contacts of people with weakened immune systems
Anyone aged 16 or over - or an at-risk child aged 12 to 15 - who had received both primary jabs could have a booster.
People with a severely weakened immune system were offered an additional third primary dose before being offered a booster.
A free flu jab was also available to more people this winter - sometimes given at the same time as a Covid booster.
Which vaccine will people get?
Four different vaccines, made by Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, Sanofi/GSK and Novavax are expected to be used in the spring booster programme.
Most doses should protect against the Omicron variant as well as previous ones.
Under-12s will be offered a children's formulation of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
Health officials advise people to take whichever booster they are offered, as all vaccines provide protection against becoming severely ill or dying from Covid.
First and second vaccine doses are either AstraZeneca or (for under-40s) Pfizer or Moderna.
How many people have been vaccinated against Covid?
According to the official figures, more than 151 million Covid vaccine doses had been administered in the UK as at 4 September, including:
53.8 million people had a first dose (94% of over-12s)
50.8 million had a second dose (88%)
40.4 million had a booster or third dose (70%)
The 2022/2023 winter's Covid booster vaccination programme reached more than 18.7 million people across the UK:
15.1 million people in England (as at 28 February)
2 million people in Scotland (as at 2 March)
1.1 million people in Wales (as at 6 March)
500,000 people in Northern Ireland (as at 7 March)
In England, the figure equates to almost two-thirds of over-50s (65%).
In July 2022, a report from an influential committee of MPs warned that Covid vaccine take-up was too low for several important groups, including pregnant women, younger people and those from some ethnic backgrounds.
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Some pregnant women complained they were not given enough information about the Covid jab
Which children can get jabbed?
All five to 11-year-olds in the UK can have two doses of a reduced-strength Covid vaccine, 12 weeks apart.
In addition:
all 12 to 15-year-olds are offered two doses of Pfizer
all 16 and 17-year-olds can have a booster, three months after their second jab
12 to 15-year-olds in an at-risk group - or who live with someone with a weakened immune system - can have a booster
How do I book my Covid vaccine?
The NHS will contact people who are eligible for a spring booster dose.
Carers of five to 11-year-olds in Scotland and Wales should wait to be offered an appointment.
Twelve to 15-year-olds in Scotland and Wales should also be contacted directly, but can speak to the relevant helpline or local health board if not.
You should leave eight weeks between your first and second dose, and at least 12 weeks before having a booster.
The 2023 spring booster should be given six months after your last dose.

How long after Covid can I have a jab?
You should wait four weeks after a positive test, even if you had no symptoms.
Under-18s, who are not at higher risk from Covid, should wait 12 weeks. Those who are more vulnerable should wait four.
You should not have a jab if you have a severe illness or high fever.
The vaccines do not infect you with Covid and cannot cause positive test results.
What are the side effects?
They are part of the body's normal immune response to vaccines and tend to resolve themselves within a day or two.

Brexit: What would no deal mean? Published 13 December 2020
The UK and the European Union have agreed to continue talks to try to reach a deal on their future relationship
Even though "major unresolved topics" remain, both sides said it was important discussions continued. Failure to reach an agreement by 31 December would result in a no-deal Brexit.
What would change?
It would mean significant differences in the way we live and work.
Prices could go up for the goods the UK buys and sells from and to the EU. That's because the UK and EU would trade on World Trade Organization (WTO) terms - the basic rules for countries without trade deals.
The EU would impose taxes (known as tariffs) on goods coming from the UK. The average is about 2.8% for non-agricultural products, but 10% for cars and more than 35% for dairy products. That would put some industries under pressure.
With the UK also imposing tariffs on some EU goods - they could become more expensive. But the price of some things imported from the rest of the world could fall because their tariffs are being cut.
Food standards for UK exports could also be a problem. Without agreement that UK rules are acceptable in the EU, produce being sold by the UK could be stopped at the border, causing delays.
Long queues for lorries are possible because there would be more border checks. The UK is delaying having full checks for goods arriving from the EU until 1 July. But it is feared EU lorry drivers might want to avoid the UK altogether if there are long delays.
Less choice of food is a danger, according to some supermarket chains, who have said fresh food will be particularly affected. They might try to fly replacements in from elsewhere, but that would increase costs.
Northern Ireland has been the subject of separate talks on how an agreement to avoid a hard border would work. An agreement has been reached 'in principle', but a free trade deal would make new arrangements easier.
But across the UK it's not just trade that would be affected by no deal, as further details were expected in other areas.
Fishing has been particularly important during the trade talks. Without a deal, non-UK fishing boats would lose access to UK waters and vice versa. It is feared there could be confrontations if boats try to continue to fish where they have traditionally done so. There are also concerns UK fish exports to the EU would be badly hit by tariffs.
Co-operation on security and data-sharing would become much more difficult, causing problems for cross-border investigations. The UK would immediately lose access to databases of things like fingerprints, criminal records and wanted persons.
There are big questions about services. The UK has been waiting for a decision about whether the EU will recognise UK rules for financial services. Without that it will be more difficult for UK firms to operate in the EU. Some banks have already moved offices and staff to EU countries.
The supply of medicines could be vulnerable to disruption at Channel ports, with particular worries about those with a short shelf life. There are plans in place to ensure coronavirus vaccines reach the UK.
Other deals were also possible
Talks separate to the main trade deal were also being worked on. They cover areas including:
Healthcare: The government is in talks for a healthcare arrangement that would replace EHIC, which helps people in need of treatment in EU countries.
Education: It was also in talks about the possibility of continuing to participate in Erasmus, which helps students study in other countries.
Driving: Talks are still going on about whether UK nationals will need International Driving Permits for short visits to EU countries. And the European Commission is understood to be considering whether green cards to prove people have valid insurance are required.
Pensions: There has not yet been an agreement for people claiming their UK state pensions in an EU country that would mean their pensions increase every year.
What happens next if there is no trade deal?
If the UK gets to the end of the year without a trade deal with the EU, that does not mean there will never be one.
It has been suggested all the problems it would cause would focus minds on reaching a deal as soon as possible.
But there are those on both sides who say it could be many months into 2021 before talks were to resume in this scenario.
Some things have been decided.
Whether or not there is a trade deal, several things will change on 1 January.
For trips to Europe, you'll have to make sure there is at least six months left on your passport and wait in a different queue at the border.
Duty free shopping will return, but there will be limits on the amount of alcohol and tobacco you can bring into the UK from the EU without paying extra duty.
The right to live and work in the EU will no longer be automatic for UK nationals, unless they already live in an EU country by the end of 2020.
A new immigration system will come into force in the UK, involving a points-based system for people wanting to work.
Trade with the EU for UK companies will involve customs declarations, extra border checks, certificates, licences and special labelling for some types of foods, plants and live animals.

Last updated on .From the section European Football Manchester United 's season suffered a huge blow as a defeat at German side RB Leipzig knocked them out of the Champions League .
United staged their now customary second-half fightback thanks to a Bruno Fernandes penalty and Paul Pogba header , but ultimately fell short .
To rub salt in the wound , the goalscorer of the first and supplier of the second , Angelino , is currently on loan in Germany from Manchester City .
His superb low shot into the far corner after just two minutes was followed soon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back post , where Amadou Haidara ghosted in to volley past David de Gea .
It could have been even worse , with the home side seeing a third goal ruled out for offside against Willi Orban on the half-hour .
United were better in the second half and struck the crossbar through a Fernandes free-kick but shortly after substitute Justin Kluivert chipped in following some shoddy defensive play from Maguire and De Gea .
Fernandes ' penalty - awarded for a foul on Mason Greenwood by Ibrahima Konate - gave them a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ real with a back-post header into the net , but the Germans held on .
Pogba had started on the bench and came on with 30 minutes to go , a day after his agent Mino Raiola declared that the midfielder was `` unhappy '' at the club and `` has to leave '' in the next transfer window .
It is small solace for United that they now drop into the Europa League - a competition they won in 2017 .
RB Leipzig advance to the Champions League last 16 having reached @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they do so as group winners or runners-up depends on the result between Paris St-Germain and Istanbul Basaksehir in a game that was suspended on Tuesday after a match official was accused of using a racist term towards one of the Turkish side 's backroom staff .

• None 'Inevitable is going to happen - Pogba has to leave Man Utd' No comeback this time as United head for Europa League Tuesday 's defeat is the latest and lowest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rollercoaster season for Solskjaer 's side , both domestically and in Europe .
They were firm favourites to progress from Group H after beating PSG and Leipzig in their first two games of the campaign , but last week 's home loss to the French side left them vulnerable and the German side completed the job .
In truth , though , much of the blame for their failure to progress lies with their defeat at Istanbul Basaksehir , who finished bottom of the group .
Critics were quick to pounce on Solskjaer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in light of the negligent way their defence allowed Demba Ba to run unchallenged from inside his own half to score the opening goal of the Turkish side 's 2-1 win .
Such defensive frailties have also been evident throughout their league season , including in wins at Everton , Southampton and West Ham , in which they fell behind but rallied to take the points .
Again in Germany they were unpicked with ease as Angelino surged into space on the left to fire in Leipzig 's first and was then afforded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the second .
It could have been different had Greenwood taken advantage of time and space on the counter-attack , but he placed his low shot too close to Peter Gulacsi , who saved to preserve the score at 1-0 .
It was perhaps telling that not only did Pogba not start the game but that he was not Solskjaer 's first port of call in his bid to alter the game , with Donny van de Beek his first substitution .
When Pogba did arrive , he made a difference , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hope of yet another late recovery and almost an even bigger one with a cross that Nordi Mukiele would have poked into his own net but for the boot of Gulacsi .
The final whistle followed soon after to give Leipzig their revenge for the 5-0 loss they suffered at Old Trafford on matchday two .
It is the Manchester derby in the Premier League next for United , who host City on Saturday ( 17:30 GMT ) .

Last updated on .From the section European Football
Only against Juventus in April 1999 (11 minutes) have United been 2-0 down earlier in a Champions League match than against RB Leipzig
Manchester United's season suffered a huge blow as a defeat at German side RB Leipzig knocked them out of the Champions League.
Needing just a draw to progress to the last 16, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side conceded twice inside 13 minutes to leave their hopes in tatters before RB Leipzig added what ultimately turned out to be the killer third with 20 minutes left.
United staged their now customary second-half fightback thanks to a Bruno Fernandes penalty and Paul Pogba header, but ultimately fell short.
To rub salt in the wound, the goalscorer of the first and supplier of the second, Angelino, is currently on loan in Germany from Manchester City.
His superb low shot into the far corner after just two minutes was followed soon after by a chipped cross to the back post, where Amadou Haidara ghosted in to volley past David de Gea.
It could have been even worse, with the home side seeing a third goal ruled out for offside against Willi Orban on the half-hour.
United were better in the second half and struck the crossbar through a Fernandes free-kick but shortly after substitute Justin Kluivert chipped in following some shoddy defensive play from Maguire and De Gea.
Fernandes' penalty - awarded for a foul on Mason Greenwood by Ibrahima Konate - gave them a slim chance, which Paul Pogba made real with a back-post header into the net, but the Germans held on.
Pogba had started on the bench and came on with 30 minutes to go, a day after his agent Mino Raiola declared that the midfielder was "unhappy" at the club and "has to leave" in the next transfer window.
It is small solace for United that they now drop into the Europa League - a competition they won in 2017.
RB Leipzig advance to the Champions League last 16 having reached the last four in 2019-20.
Whether they do so as group winners or runners-up depends on the result between Paris St-Germain and Istanbul Basaksehir in a game that was suspended on Tuesday after a match official was accused of using a racist term towards one of the Turkish side's backroom staff.
No comeback this time as United head for Europa League
Tuesday's defeat is the latest and lowest dip of what has already been a rollercoaster season for Solskjaer's side, both domestically and in Europe.
They were firm favourites to progress from Group H after beating PSG and Leipzig in their first two games of the campaign, but last week's home loss to the French side left them vulnerable and the German side completed the job.
In truth, though, much of the blame for their failure to progress lies with their defeat at Istanbul Basaksehir, who finished bottom of the group.
Critics were quick to pounce on Solskjaer's side after that defeat, particularly in light of the negligent way their defence allowed Demba Ba to run unchallenged from inside his own half to score the opening goal of the Turkish side's 2-1 win.
Such defensive frailties have also been evident throughout their league season, including in wins at Everton, Southampton and West Ham, in which they fell behind but rallied to take the points.
Again in Germany they were unpicked with ease as Angelino surged into space on the left to fire in Leipzig's first and was then afforded too much room to pick out Haidara for the second.
It could have been different had Greenwood taken advantage of time and space on the counter-attack, but he placed his low shot too close to Peter Gulacsi, who saved to preserve the score at 1-0.
It was perhaps telling that not only did Pogba not start the game but that he was not Solskjaer's first port of call in his bid to alter the game, with Donny van de Beek his first substitution.
When Pogba did arrive, he made a difference, scoring the second goal that gave them hope of yet another late recovery and almost an even bigger one with a cross that Nordi Mukiele would have poked into his own net but for the boot of Gulacsi.
The final whistle followed soon after to give Leipzig their revenge for the 5-0 loss they suffered at Old Trafford on matchday two.
What's next?
It is the Manchester derby in the Premier League next for United, who host City on Saturday (17:30 GMT).
Solskjaer sets unwanted record
Ole Gunnar Solskjær has lost six of his 10 Champions League matches as a manager (W4); he is the first manager to lose six or more times in their first 10 games in the competition while in charge of an English side.
Manchester United have conceded three or more goals in consecutive Champions League games for the first time since April 2003.
United exited at the group stage in a Champions League campaign for the first time since 2015-16 under Louis van Gaal.
RB Leipzig are unbeaten in their past six home Champions League games (W5 D1), winning the last four in a row.
Since his United debut in February, no player in Europe's top five leagues has scored more penalties in all competitions than Bruno Fernandes (13 - level with Cristiano Ronaldo).
RB Leipzig full-back Angelino has had a hand in six goals in six Champions League appearances this season (three goals, three assists).
Angelino's goal scored after 1:49 is the earliest United have conceded in the CL since Alan for Sporting Braga in October 2012 (1:27).
