Carrick will do well to see out the month after latest Man Utd setback… Ratcliffe will have to make huge decision soon

MANCHESTER UNITED went down with a fight at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, which will be hosting the Champions League final in June. But it’s safe to say that United will not be back for that occasion. On this evidence , there’s clearly a big gulf between these two great clubs in European football – and Atletico have had pedigree in the Champions League for a good while now. History shouldn’t mean too much, but Atletico know the lay of the land, how to navigate these games.
