Atalanta 2-2 Man United: Cristiano Ronaldo hits late to get Ole Gunnar Solskjaer out of jail again| Latest News Headlines

After getting a brief respite with the 3-0 Premier League win over Tottenham on Saturday, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer watched the barrel of another disastrous result, with Duvan Zapata’s strike to doom United to defeat in Bergamo.

However, Ronaldo, who had already called off Josep Ilicic’s opener, added a dramatic leveling to the last winners he has already scored against Atalanta and Villarreal in this Champions League group stage.

Solskjaer stayed with the last three who had worked so well against Tottenham but made three changes to his starting lineup, with Paul Pogba returning from suspension in midfield and Marcus Rashford replacing Edinson Cavani up front, while Eric Bailly came to replace Victor Lindelof, injured. .

They nearly took the lead in less than five minutes when Scott McTominay’s shot deflected off the upright, but quickly ended up behind as David de Gea’s mistake allowed Ilicic’s shot to find the bottom nets.

But for a superb block from Bailly it could have been two, as Pogba’s possession almost got Zapata in, but Ronaldo made sure Solskjaer’s side entered the break tied as he was converted from Bruno Fernandes’ heel at the end of a superb movement.

The Italians had been much better, however, and shortly before the hour mark their lead was restored with a helping hand from VAR, which nullified the linesman’s flag against Zapata as he beat the lunge of Harry Maguire to overtake De Gea.

At this point United were on the verge of exiting the qualifying spots, but Ronaldo’s late show won the point that sends them back to the top of Group F.
