Manchester United are facing a challenging Champions League encounter, trailing Atletico Madrid 2-0 at half-time. Under-pressure manager Michael Carrick made five changes to the team for the crucial match, including replacing Harry Maguire with Ayden Heaven and bringing in Leny Yoro for the injured Luke Shaw.
Atletico initially scored within 53 seconds through Pablo Barrios, but the goal was later disallowed after a VAR review for a handball by Marcos Llorente in the build-up. However, Atletico found the net again in the 44th minute, with Johnny Cardoso scoring to put the home side 2-0 up.
The result follows a difficult period for Carrick's side, who recently drew 1-1 with 10-man Tottenham in the Premier League, a match that saw an injury-time equaliser for Spurs and boos from the Old Trafford crowd.
