United are also unbeaten in their last three home games in the Champions League having registered two consecutive victories and one draw.
"We didn’t play the best football in the first half, but with the substitutions we made in the second half we stepped up a bit," United winger Anthony Elanga said after scoring against Atletico.
"[Ralf Rangnick] told me to just make the defenders scared and when I get an opportunity, take it. I've said how calm and cool I am. I just want to give 150 per cent whenever I set foot on the pitch. I always tell myself I want to be the best player on the pitch."

"I think it was my first touch! I’ve dreamt of moments like this, scoring in the Champions League against a top team like Atlético Madrid. Whenever I get an opportunity for the club I just want to repay the favour from the manager," he added.
"I wanted a good result for the fans because they’ve travelled a long way. Hopefully the next leg at Old Trafford will be even better."
