Atletico Madrid beats Manchester United 2-0 in Champions League

thehindu.com [$] —

Atletico Madrid defeated Manchester United 2-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday, deepening the English club's crisis with a red card and mounting pressure on coach Michael Carrick. Pablo Barrios scored within the first minute, and after Leny Yoro's 74th-minute red card, Ademola Lookman added a second for the hosts. United are now winless in five games across all competitions. United have made their worst domestic start in 40 years, and this defeat follows an opening Champions League loss at Liverpool for Atletico. Carrick made changes, including starting Carlos Baleba and shifting Bruno Fernandes, but the team's struggles continue ahead of a weekend league match against Leeds.
