Manchester United wakes up and, with a score by Cristiano Ronaldo, traces two goals from Atalanta at Old Trafford

Manchester United came back from a 2-0 defeat against Atalanta of Bergamo this Wednesday (3-2) at Old Trafford, on the third round of the Champions League, with a decisive goal from Cristiano Ronaldo, a result that leaves the Red Devils leading a group in which all options are possible.

The Italians, who came to rest with a double advantage and already dreamed of conquering the Theater of Dreams, suffered in the second act the desperate offensives of the locals, aware that a defeat left them very touched in the group and in a situation very compromised to his Norwegian coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Croatian midfielder Mario Pasalic (15th minute) and Turkish center-back Merih Demiral (29) had put up a surprising 2-0 for Dea before the break. Marcus Rashford cut differences in the second half (53) and central Harry Maguire (75) established the tie at two, which did not diminish the ambition of the locals, who took the delirium to the stands with an excellent header from Cristiano Ronaldo (81), savior of his team in the final stretch of the game as he did on the previous date against Villarreal.

Solskjaer, whose team has been eliminated from the League Cup and had just lost 4-2 to Leicester in the Premier League, in which it ranks 6th, earned credit with these three points, leaving United leading the group with 6 points, for the 4 of Atalanta and Villarreal, and the 3 of the Swiss Young Boys.
