Cristiano Ronaldo set a Manchester United record during Atalanta clash
Atalanta vs Manchester United
Manchester United faced off with Serie A side Atalanta in a Champions League game on Tuesday.
The game was an enthralling affair that showcased just how much Man United rely on individual brilliance to bail them out of tight situations.
Atalanta would take the lead in the game via Josip Ilicic after just 12 minutes, with David de Gea making a real mess of the forward’s strike:

Man United would eventually draw level in the game when Cristiano Ronaldo combined with Bruno Fernandes in first-half injury time.
Duvan Zapata then made it 2-1 to Atalanta after 57 minutes and it did look as though Atalanta were heading for a deserved three points.
