MANCHESTER UNITED return to Champions League action as they visit Spain to take on Atletico Madrid.

The Red Devils have won their last two league games on the spin with the latest being a 4-2 triumph in the rain at Elland Road.

However, tougher opposition lies ahead when they come up against Diego Simeone’s red and white wall on Wednesday night.

Madrid will be going into this fixture off the back of an emphatic win themselves beating Osasuna 3-0 away from home.

But the reigning La Liga champions are having a poor season by their standards – trailing league leaders and bitter rivals Real Madrid by 15 points.

The Red Devils’ preparations for this match were disrupted, however, by tensions in Ukraine.

United scrambled to find another airline to take them to Madrid, rather than use their official partners – Russian carrier Aeroflot.
