United will travel to Spain on Wednesday to take on Diego Simeone’s men at the Wanda Metropolitano in the first leg of their Champions League tie.
While the clash is one of the biggest matches this week, both teams have struggled for consistency this season. Both Manchester United and Atletico have suffered significant losses in some of this campaign’s high-profile matches.
While the Red Devils have been humbled by Liverpool and Manchester City at home this season, Atletico recently slipped to a 4-2 away loss to Barcelona.
Hutchinson weighed in on the Round Of 16 clash during a media call. The football pundit said that it would be impossible to pick a winner in the Manchester United vs Atletico tie out of all the games happening during the mid-week.
The former Liverpool player said that both teams are searching for form. Hutchinson believed that Simeone’s side had gone away from their dogged mentality.
He also said Manchester United seems like they’re all over the place.
