Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United
Manchester United head into the Atletico Madrid clash on some fairly shaky form.
The Red Devils have recently been held to 1-1 draw by Burnley and Southampton and would also crash out of the FA Cup at the hands of Championship outfit Middlesbrough recently.
Will this Manchester United side, which appears to lack any true leaders and struggles when the pressure is on, be able to hold their own against a Diego Simeone side?
One thing working in Manchester United’s favour is the fairly patchy form of Atletico at present.
The Madrid-based outfit won La Liga last season, but have struggled to replicate that form this term.
Atletico are currently 5th in the Spanish top-flight and are having a real hard time keeping clean sheets. They have let in 34 in 25 league games this term, which is the most of the top 11 sides currently in Liga.
