Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has named his starting line-up for Manchester United's showdown with Atletico Madrid in the first-leg of their Champions League last-16 tie at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium this evening, making some interesting calls.
'Glazers out' chants, Fred's touch of class and Manchester United moments missed vs Middlesbrough
05.02.2022 - 08:23 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
There is something about penalty shootouts against Middlesbrough that appear to cause Manchester United to stumble.
For the second time in just over six years, United's involvement in a domestic cup competition has been ended by the Championship side, losing 8-7 on penalties in the fourth round of the FA Cup at Old Trafford on Friday evening, after the contest ended 1-1 at the end of 120 minutes.
Following 15 successive penalties, Anthony Elanga was guilty of missing the first and only penalty of the shootout, meaning United's only hope of winning a trophy this season now rests on their Champions League adventure, which continues against Atletico Madrid later this month.
Jadon Sancho handed United a first-half lead before Middlesbrough, who had survived a wave of Reds pressure prior to the halftime interval, drew level in controversial circumstances through Matt Crooks' close-range finish, after the ball had struck the hand of Duncan Watmore.
On what proved to be an action-packed evening at Old Trafford, here are five moments you might have missed:
Ahead of kick-off, United interim manager Ralf Rangnick and Middlesbrough chief Wilder walked out of the Stretford End tunnel side by side, each clutching wreaths in remembrance of the Munich Air Disaster.
As they walked down the touchline towards their respective technical areas, they chatted and smiled, but the details of the conversation, of course, are not known.
Once they each reached their respective positions on the sideline, they each laid their wreaths, took a step back and bowed, a sign of respect in remembrance of the 23 people, including eight United players, who lost their lives on that fateful day in February 1958.
