Preview
After the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson, the red devils have lost their true nature. They did everything, from signing big names to hiring high-profile coaches. However, nothing helps them to fulfill their pursuit. Notwithstanding, they still are a big club and on a prestigious European night, they could do anything and beat anyone. They have that caliber. Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the greatest in this competition, who is the nemesis of Athletico in European competition, is at their disposal, plenty of other talented players are there too.
So, they will do everything to keep their hope alive of winning at least one silverware this season. On the other hand, in Simone, Los Rojiblancos have a man who doesn’t know how to accept the defeat before the last whistle. Defending la Liga champions are getting a little faded this season but they won’t let anyone overcome them without any fight. Even more so, they were the best team in the 1st leg. So, we can expect of having a crunch display.
Possible XI of Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid:
Manchester United: De Gea, Luke Shaw, Varane, Maguire, Wan Bissaka, Mactominay, Fred, Pogba, Bruno, Sancho, Ronaldo.
Athletico Madrid: Oblak, Hermoso, Vrslajko, Savic, Gimenez, Koke, Llorente, Kondogbia, Lodi, Felix, Correa.
Probable Outcome: Athletico Madrid will win the tie.
