Pundit Clinton Morrison pulled no punches in his assessment of Manchester United's performance after Atletico Madrid took the lead just 47 seconds into their UEFA Champions League clash.

Morrison described the opening moments as a nightmare for United, condemning what he saw as a continuation of the team's persistent struggles — showing, in his view, no sign of improvement.

The lightning-fast start by Atletico Madrid set an ominous tone for Manchester United, who found themselves on the back foot almost before the match had begun.

Morrison's verdict was damning: the same problems that have plagued United throughout the season were on display once again on the European stage, offering no encouragement to a fanbase already frustrated by their side's inconsistency.
