Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has named his starting line-up for Manchester United's showdown with Atletico Madrid in the first-leg of their Champions League last-16 tie at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium this evening, making some interesting calls.

Aston Villa and his national team.Back in September, Martinez told Bruno Fernandes that his team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo was a better penalty taker before he fired his spot-kick over the bar in Villa's win against Manchester United.Martinez was then seen taunting United fans by dancing in front of the crowd in celebration following the decisive stoppage time miss.Former Villa keeper Brad Friedel has now warned Martinez and others who dabble in the goalkeeping dark arts that their antics can backfire.Speaking exclusively to Daily Star Sport on behalf of bet365, the American was asked about Martinez's reason antics before penalties.“It wasn't my style, but everyone has their own way and I guess as long as he's dishing out the banter in the right way, I don't have an issue with it," explained Friedel.Should goalkeepers be punished for trying to put penalty takers off? Let us know in the comments section below.“What I would say is, if he's giving it all out and the player does score against him, they're going to come right back at him."My style was much different from that - I'd focus more on myself, what I wanted to do and detections in the run up, as opposed to psychologically trying to throw the striker off.“But Emi and other goalkeepers like him will eventually run into the striker that can't mentally compose himself as well, so they’re right to try it.

Some of the Manchester United squad to face Atletico Madrid has been revealed after the team departed for the Spanish capital on Tuesday afternoon.

Bruno Fernandes believes that, while Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane's experience of winning the Champions League is important in the competition, the rest of the squad must follow in their footsteps and be hungry enough to win it for the first time.

Former defender Rio Ferdinand believes Manchester United would struggle to bridge the gap to Liverpool and Manchester City next season, even if they signed Youri Tielemans and Ruben Neves this summer.

Rio Ferdinand has praised Manchester United starlet Anthony Elanga for seizing the initiative during his early days with the first-team squad.
