Simeone Warns Atlético Madrid of Manchester United’s Quality

Diego Simeone has warned Atlético Madrid not to underestimate Manchester United, despite the English club’s recent league struggles leaving them in the middle of the Premier League table.

The Atlético coach believes United remain a significant threat because of the quality available in their squad, regardless of their current domestic position. Simeone’s side will therefore approach the contest with caution against opponents he considers capable of causing problems.

Manchester United’s uneven run has increased scrutiny around the club, but Simeone has made clear that Atlético will not judge their opponents solely on recent results or league standing.
