Man United had a lucky draw of 1-1 at Wanda Metropolitano Stadium of Aletico Madrid in the first leg of the 1/8 round of the Champions League. That was a match in which the "Red Devils" were completely overwhelmed by their opponents in the first 45 minutes, before taking the lead in the second half and finding an equalizer thanks to young talent Anthony Elanga. However, scoring in Spain was already an advantage for the England side before returning home to welcome their opponents.
In that match, Atletico Madrid completely overwhelmed their opponents, having many more notable opportunities but lacking luck compared to the away team. With such a game, the Spanish representative is fully hoping for a positive result when traveling to Old Trafford.
As for the Red Devils, coach Rangnick's team also did not show much improvement after the first leg when they returned to fight in the Premier League. Most recently, they had a 3-2 victory over Tottenham, but this was a match in which superstar Ronaldo shone individually with a hat-trick, and the rest of Man United still showed their weaknesses.
However, Man United is better than Atletico Madrid in many aspects, not to mention the support of the home audience at the "Red Devils" stadium, who are playing very well in this year's Champions League. The victory will stay at Old Trafford to help Man Utd reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
In terms of force, Bruno Fernandes, Luke Shaw and Scott McTominay are also ready to return with their teammates. Meanwhile, for Atletico Madrid: Yannick Carrasco receives suspension. Matheus Cunha, Daniel Wass, Sime Vrsaljko, Thomas Lemar, Mario Hermoso and Geoffrey Kondogbia are injured. Jose Gimenez is doubtful to play.
The match taking place at the same time as the big match between Man United and Atletico Madrid will also be the second leg between Ajax and Benfica. In the first leg, the two teams drew 2-2 at Benfica. This is a real challenge for Benfica when traveling to Amsterdam.
