Man United drew 1-1 with Atletico Madrid in their Champions League round of 16 first-leg clash after Anthony Elanga came off the bench to score a late equaliser.
At the Wanda Metropolitano, the first half belonged to the hosts, with Joao Felix heading a great effort in off the post early on to give the Spanish side the lead.
Just before the halftime, Vrsaljko hit the crossbar with a header.
