'No improvement!' - Clinton slams Man Utd as Atletico take lead after just 47 seconds

BREAKING: Atletico Madrid take the lead against Manchester United after just 47 seconds at the Metropolitano in the Champions League.

Forty seven seconds. That's how long Manchester United's evening in Madrid survived.

Atletico went ahead at the Metropolitano before some fans had found their seats, and you can see the keeper's reaction here, which says everything about how that dressing room feels right now. In the Champions League, away to Diego Simeone's Atletico, giving up a goal inside the first minute is about the worst way to start a night that was already hard enough.

On punditry duty, Clinton Morrison didn't dress it up. No improvement, that was the verdict, and it stings because it's the same conversation United fans have been having for years. New season, new competition, same soft start.

Simeone's Atletico don't hand leads back at home, they sit on them and squeeze. United now need to chase a game in one of the most uncomfortable stadiums in Europe, and they handed over the script in under a minute.
