Man Utd suffer heavy Youth League loss

Manchester United were taught a harsh lesson by Atletico Madrid as they lost 3-0 in the Uefa Youth League.

Without star forward JJ Gabriel, who scored a hat-trick in their opening win over Sabah FK, Adam Lawrence's side struggled to find a way through the home defence.

Midfielder Jim Thwaites thought he should have had a first-half penalty and Bendito Mantato drove a good chance wide after cutting in from the right wing.

However, not even the introduction of Kai Rooney could trigger a comeback after Joel Sanchez and Daniel Fitzgerald - Atletico's 18-year-old forward who has dual Spanish and English citizenship - had eased the hosts into a clear lead at the break.

United were better in the second half but Atletico added a third through Gonzalo Gross 19 minutes from time.
