Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results

Manchester United host Atletico Madrid in a finely-poised second-leg of the Champions League round-of-16.

Anthony Elanga rescued a result for Ralf Rangnick’s side away in the Spanish capital last month after a game in which United had largely been outplayed.

With Atletico far from the defensive beast they’ve often been under Diego Simeone, the sight of Cristiano Ronaldo warming up on Saturday might be a concern.

Clearly, there’s a lot more to the game than merely his presence but Ronaldo’s record against Atletico is simply too good to ignore and a hat-trick against Tottenham on Saturday means the Portuguese is in ominous form.

Here’s everything you need to know about the game.

The Premier League game is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off on Tuesday March 15, 2022.

Old Trafford in Manchester will host.

TV channel: The game will be broadcast on BT Sport 2 and BT Sport Ultimate.

Live stream: BT Sport subscribers will be able to watch it through the BT Sport App.

Luke Shaw is the only injury worry for United, though he returned to training on Monday and a decision will be made. Elsewhere, Bruno Fernandes’ Covid scare is over, along with David De Gea’s, offering Rangnick a largely healthy squad from which to choose.

For Atletico, Koke recently returned to action in a big boost for Diego Simeone but Yannick Carasco misses out through suspension.

Mario Hermoso, Geoffrey Kondogbia and Jose Gimenez, meanwhile, have all been included in the squad after injury doubts.

It’s hard to think of a more delicately-poised tie. Still, both teams have had problems, although United have rarely lost games with a whimper under Rangnick.
