Five things spotted in Manchester United training ahead of Atletico Madrid clash as trio return

Manchester United will be looking to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time since 2018/19 when they face Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their last-16 showdown on Tuesday evening.

After playing out a 1-1 draw at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Spain last month, it will be all to play for at Old Trafford in the second half of the tie. United got back to winning ways with a 3-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, meaning they will be looking to register a second successive victory.

Cristiano Ronaldo returned from injury with a bang, scoring a hat-trick, to inject some much-needed confidence into United veins ahead of the meeting with Atletico. The visit of the Spanish giants will mark United's last fixture until April 2, meaning they will be hoping to head into an extended international break on a high.
