Manchester United’s Champions League run has come to an end in the round-of-16 after losing 2-1 on aggregate against Atletico Madrid.

Although the Reds went in 1-0 down at half-time, they were the better side in the first 45 minutes but failed to create enough chances after the break.

Here are our Manchester United player ratings after a disappointing night at Old Trafford (starting players only):

David de Gea – 6

Brilliant save to prevent Rodrigo de Paul in the first-half. I don’t think he could’ve done a lot for the goal after Renan Lodi was left alone at the back post. His communication and distribution were subject to criticism again.

Diogo Dalot – 3

Let Lodi score from close range to kill the tie. No end product when he got forward.

Raphael Varane – 7

Unlucky not to score when Oblak was forced into a terrific save. A force from the back.

Harry Maguire – 3

Played the game with his head up in the clouds.

Alex Telles – 4

A real weakness down the left tonight.

Scott McTominay – 5

He was up against it tonight but this is the level McTominay needs to reach if he wants to be a future United midfielder.

Fred – 6

Amazing piece of skill in Atletico’s box in the first-half but lost his spark after the break.

Anthony Elanga – 5

Missed a close-range chance early on. It was a quiet performance other than that.

Bruno Fernandes – 4

Did more moaning than anything else. Rightly hauled off.

Jadon Sancho – 5

Quieter than usual but I thought he dealt with Atleti’s pressure well. Nowhere near enough end product, though..

Cristiano Ronaldo – 5

Couldn’t get past Atletico’s defence and strayed too far away from the box at times.
