Manchester United are currently locked in action with Spanish side Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 clash.
Ralf Rangnick’s side headed into the tie off the back of 2 wins on the bounce, over Brighton and Leeds United, but fell a goal behind early in the piece thanks to a brilliant header from Joao Felix, who in the process netted his first Champions League goal of the season.
Not the start Man Utd wanted in Madrid…

This comes just 24 hours after the Portuguese, who is playing his 101st game for the Spanish side, was linked with a move to Arsenal.
According to Eduardo Inda, of El Chiringuito TV, the forward is one of Mikel Arteta’s targets. He told the show:
“Simeone, if he continues, wants to bring in [Goncalo] Guedes. His objective is to change Joao Félix for Guedes.
“The problem Atletico have is that he cost €120m, and getting him back is something that can only be done if he is sold to the Premier League.”
