Joao Felix’s late winner saw United end their pre-season tour with a first defeat of the summer as Cristiano Ronaldo watched them waste chance after chance from the sofa back home.

As reported by The Sun, Anthony Elanga was called in to replace Jadon Sancho, who travelled to Norway but felt unwell overnight.

United made a fast start with chances for both Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial – the pair looking to build on impressive pre-season campaigns.

Rashford cut inside and saw his low effort held by Atletico keeper, Jan Oblak, before Martial sent an effort just over the bar after breaking away to go one-on-one.

The Frenchman was happy to take on the Atletico defenders whenever space allowed in the box, with Jose Gimenez turning another effort behind for a corner.
