Seven things learned from Man Utd’s 2-0 defeat against Atletico Madrid

A 10-man Manchester United side came away from the Metropolitano after suffering a 2-0 defeat against Atletico Madrid. Manchester United haven’t won a match since beating FK Sabah last month, with a poor run of results growing longer after a 2-0 defeat against Atletico Madrid.

Diego Simeone’s teams are notoriously difficult to break down and remain undisputed masters of football’s dark arts. A dark start for United followed. Pablo Barrios scored 50 seconds in, to give Atleti an early lead.

In the latter stages of the first half, there was relief for Michael Carrick as Atleti had a second goal correctly ruled out for handball.
