THE PREDICTION
It has been a turbulent season for Man Utd but there are some positives to take out of recent results with the likes of Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho coming into form, while the return of Paul Pogba from injury appears to have had a positive influence on the team. Atletico, while possessing plenty of talent, are not the defensive juggernaut of years gone by with their 0-3 win at Osasuna over the weekend signalling their first clean sheet in eight games in all competitions. Cristiano Ronaldo may not be at the peak of his powers anymore but he has haunted Atletico several times in the past, not least in the Champions League, and with his unrivalled strike-rate in the competition, he could be worth backing in the anytime goalscorer market here.
