Manchester United have been given fresh encouragement ahead of their Champions League Round of 16 tie against Atletico Madrid following another chaotic performance from the Spanish champions.
Diego Simeone’s side edged out a pulsating 4-3 victory at home to lowly Getafe with a last-minute winner in their Saturday night La Liga encounter but despite their triumph, alarming signs continued.
They have won just eight of their last 22 matches across all competitions, while Luis Suarez missed a penalty and was subbed off just after the hour mark in another low-key performance.
