Manchester United take on Atletico Madrid tonight in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.
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.

Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid prediction
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.
