Manchester United receives the Spanish team, Atlético de Madrid, at the mythical Old Trafford in a tie that is open after the 1-1 first leg. Although United have shown plenty of shortcomings throughout the season, they come into the game after beating Tottenham 3-2 with a hat-trick from Cristiano Ronaldo.
The second leg of the tie between the Red Devils and Los Colchoneros is played at 04:00 pm ET on Tuesday, March 15 at Old Trafford.
Manchester United has not had an easy season, since they have had many problems when facing matches, so they are only in Europa League positions. In the first leg, the English team was seen with many doubts and, above all, with many mistakes, something that they cannot do again if they want to advance to the next phase of the tournament.
On the other hand, Atlético Madrid showed absolute superiority in the match played in Madrid, but the lack of efficiency when attacking took its toll on them, and they could not score more than 1 goal. Atlético Madrid is at its best moment in LaLiga, so it seems that they have already left behind the terrible start to the season they had, so this match is expected to be very intense and, above all, exciting.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline Manchester United. If you put $100 on Manchester United at +115 you’ll be looking at a $115 win with a total payout of $215.
