Atlético v Man United
Pressure builds on Michael Carrick as 10-man Man United slip to 2-0 defeat to Atlético Madrid
Manchester United's winless run extended to a fifth match as Michael Carrick's side made a nightmare start and lost Leny Yoro to a red card in Tuesday's 2-0 Champions League defeat at Atlético Madrid.
The feel-good factor that came with the Red Devils' surprising return to European football's top table under their former midfielder has been replaced by growing questions over the head coach's future.
United were booed after conceding a stoppage-time leveller at home to struggling Tottenham on Saturday and three days later it was a slow start that proved costly as Pablo Barrios scored after just 50 seconds.
Johnny Cardoso saw a goal ruled out for handball and Atleti twice hit the woodwork as Diego Simeone's side attempted to see off a spirited response from Carrick's men.
Bruno Fernandes crashed an effort off the crossbar as United pushed for a second-half leveller, only to be reduced to 10 men as Yoro was adjudged to have brought down Jonathan David as last man.
Substitute Ademola Lookman quickly added a second to end the contest, with this loss increasing the spotlight on Carrick ahead of travelling to rivals Leeds with their lowest points after six league games since 1986.
