Manchester United will face off against Atletico Madrid for their Champions League round of 16 second leg tie on Tuesday.
The team is hoping to make the quarter-finals of the competition after a 1-1 away draw in Spain against Atletico Madrid in their first meeting.
Ralf Rangnick has some key players who will have to step up and take the team through.
United haven’t had a convincing European campaign this season. After finishing their group on top, they’ve won just three of their six games against Villarreal, Atalanta and Young Boys.
And while United were poor against Atletico in the first fixture at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, they were able to leave with a draw courtesy of Anthony Elanga’s late strike.
United won’t be winning the Premier League title this season, instead watching the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool battle it out for glory on that front.
They won’t be claiming the FA Cup or Carabao Cup, either, having lost to West Ham and Middlesbrough respectively.
Therefore, the Champions League represents their last shot at a trophy this term.
Fortunately for Rangnick, however, Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho are coming good at a crucial time.
Sancho, in particular, has been nothing short of sensational in recent weeks.
The former Borussia Dortmund star endured a slow start to life at Old Trafford, toiling when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in charge.
Yet he’s come good over the last 10 matches, managing six goal involvements during that time.
Sancho has netted against the likes of Manchester City, Southampton and Middlesbrough to become an undroppable presence.
And he’s also clocked up assists against Leeds and Tottenham, too.
As United prepare for the match with Atletico, they’ll be hopeful Ronaldo and Sancho can fire them through.
They’re becoming quite a double act at Old Trafford and can show what they’re made of on the biggest stage of all on Tuesday night.
