Manchester United take on Atletico Madrid in the Champions League
As mentioned before, Manchester United’s only hope of earning silverware this season is to win the Champions League. They will travel to the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium on Wednesday to play against Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Round of 16 fixture.
United go into the game on the back of two consecutive victories in the Premier League. They beat Brighton & Hove Albion 2-0 before getting the better of Leeds United 4-2. Fred scored the third goal in the victory over Leeds.
They will hope this momentum and Cristiano Ronaldo’s record against Atletico will help them gain an advantage in the tie. Ronaldo has scored 25 goals and made nine assists in 35 matches against the Spanish club, including four hat-tricks.
After Atletico, United return to the Premier League to take on lowly Watford on Saturday. The Red Devils currently sit in fourth position and will look to solidify their position when they face Watford.
