Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news and h2h results

Anthony Elanga rescued a result for Ralf Rangnick’s side away in the Spanish capital last month after a game in which United had largely been outplayed.

With Atletico far from the defensive beast they’ve often been under Diego Simeone, the sight of Cristiano Ronaldo warming up on Saturday might be a concern.

Clearly, there’s a lot more to the game than merely his presence but Ronaldo’s record against Atletico is simply too good to ignore and a hat-trick against Tottenham on Saturday means the Portuguese is in ominous form.

Here’s everything you need to know about the game...

Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off tonight, Tuesday March 15, 2022.

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Telles; Fred, McTominay; Elanga, Fernandes, Sancho; Ronaldo.

Subs: Heaton, Henderson, Bailly, Jones, Lindelof, Wan-Bissaka, Lingard, Mata, Matic, Pogba, Cavani, Rashford.

It’s hard to think of a more delicately-poised tie. Still, both teams have had problems, although United have rarely lost games with a whimper under Rangnick. Manchester City aside, their form has largely been decent enough, just not always convincingly so.

Man United to win, 2-1.
