Manchester United supporters are in a positive frame of mind ahead of Tuesday's first leg Champions League Round of 16 tie in the Spanish capital.

The Red Devils go into the game after a 2-4 win at Elland Road over Leeds with the first United goal coming from a corner this season from Harry Maguire and a Bruno Fernandes header put the visitors in control at Elland Road by halftime, only for two Leeds strikes within 59 seconds soon after the break to level things up.

Manchester United remained calm and goals from substitutes Fred and Anthony Elanga secured a victory that cemented their place in the top four.

United boss Rangnick stated post game: "This was an important win after the results on Saturday. We had to win and I hope the way we win will give us new additional energy for the game in Madrid (in the Champions League) next week and against Watford on Saturday.
