    First real bit of possession for Atletico now and Old Trafford is doing its best to put them off with booing.

    I have been disappointed with Atletico. They have not put two passes together, they are jogging around. Diego Simeone is shouting and screaming at everybody to up the tempo and it is Manchester United that are in control.

  3. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 20:10 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March 2022

    Ajax 0-0 Benfica (2-2 agg)

    Ajax forward Sebastien Haller thought he'd added to his soaring Champions League goal haul there, but Dusan Tadic strayed offside in the build-up before squaring to give the former West Ham man a tap-in.

    A lively start to this one in Amsterdam, with Ajax on top at the moment.

    Andrew Mitchell: File that one under “goalkeepers are over protected”. What did Elanga do wrong? As much a foul by Oblak as it was Elanga - the United man got there long before the contact.

    Michael Reid: Never a foul on Oblak. Why do goalkeepers get so much protection but yet can clobber into players as they see fit to win the ball?

    Manchester United right on the front foot and already have the crowd heavily involved. One or two classic early touches from Cristiano Ronaldo suggest he is in the mood.

    I like the shape of the Manchester United team tonight - with the two wide men.

    Bruno Fernandes is playing in the position he should play and we have two men in the middle who can put their foot on the ball and break up the play.

    Cristiano Ronaldo wins a corner off Stefan Savic. Man Utd take it short and it's switched over to Anthony Elanga but his cross is cleared.

    Alex Telles does well on the left to battle for possession but his cross goes straight out for a goal kick.

    Atletico haven't got going yet.

    It's not a free-kick, I'm sorry. That is a decent ball in and give Anthony Elanga credit, he had his eyes on the ball, heads the ball and has not touched the goalkeeper. There was nothing wrong with that challenge.

    Man Utd 0-0 Atletico Madrid (1-1 agg)

    Big chance.

    Cristiano Ronaldo wins it on the left, he links up with Jadon Sancho before it's switched across the middle.

    It's lifted into the box and Anthony Elanga gets his head on it - beating Jan Oblak - but it's just over the bar.

    The referee blows for a foul but Elanga had every right to go for that and he wasn't far away!

    Would love to see Varane and Jones at the back. Seems strange saying it but Jones actually has more league and Champs League experience than Maguire!

    Not sure what Noodles means about the United line-up being disappointing... probably the best available at the moment.

    Cristiano Ronaldo is involved straight away, entertaining the crowd with some ball juggling to keep possession.

    Bruno Fernandes makes a run in behind but the long ball heading his way is far too heavy.

    It's finely balanced. I think Atletico will be coming here thinking 'we can score'. I think we are in for a very entertaining game.

    So much riding on this for Manchester United and the volume levels have raised as kick-off approaches.

    Both sets of supporters in full voice and this has the feel of a very big Champions League night.

    There are a lot of players on the Manchester United bench who would love to get on and be a hero. There will be a lot of them thinking 'I should be playing'.

    Then you have got to question - why are they not playing?

    Here come the teams. This is a HUGE game at Old Trafford.

  19. Can Bruno set new assist record?published at 19:55 Greenwich Mean Time 15 March 2022

    Man Utd v Atletico Madrid (20:00 GMT)

    Bruno Fernandes has provided six assists in the Champions League this season; only three Manchester United players have ever provided more in a single campaign in the competition – David Beckham in 1998-99 (8), Dwight Yorke in 1998-99 (7) and Ryan Giggs in 2006-07 (7).

    Bright Eugene VII: I'm not particularly excited seeing Bruno Fernandes in the starting 11 after the performance of the MUFC team against Tottenham Hotspur during the weekend in his absence. I might as well not watch the match live so as to avoid real-time disappointment.
