It wouldn’t be all too surprising to see the United defenders come up second best against Atletico Madrid’s attackers such as Luis Suarez, Joao Felix, and Angel Correa, but they’ll have a more difficult time getting the ball past de Gea. With the second leg of the Manchester United vs. Cristiano Ronaldo has been out of form for the Premier League club, and they will be hoping he can rediscover his magic ahead of the crucial tie.
