Manchester United may have gained a crucial advantage in their hopes of reaching the Champions League quarter-finals after opponents Atletico Madrid reportedly left their tactics board at Old Trafford ahead of Tuesday's round-of-16 second leg.
Ralf Rangnick 's side are bidding to reach the last eight after a 1-1 draw in Madrid three weeks ago and may already have a leg up on Diego Simeone and co. in round two. The Sun report that Atletico staff left details of their all-important tactics inside the stadium after training there on Monday evening, only realising they had left the board behind when unpacking their kit at a city-centre hotel.
The vehicle that had brought them from Old Trafford into central Manchester had already left, prompting a panicked member of Simeone's backroom staff to immediately plead for it to be returned. Thankfully for the Spanish champions, they have reportedly been able to retrieve it in a chaotic turn of events.
