I don't take their antics personal, but surely it's easy to see why Simeone's Atletico aren't exactly endearing for neutral fanshey now

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
Elanga is miles weaker than Jadon, We have to buy another attacker
That was good pass by bruno. Elanga just didn't read the move well
Please get Elanga off.
Maguire did well in the end but those first few steps when turning and running back were glacial.
Sancho was sick. Otherwise he wasn't playing.
Impressed with Fred and Mctom today. Both showing signs of improving under ETH, as have many in the squad to be fair.
We need to remember this is Atletico. City in all their glory could only muster up 1 goal over 2 legs last season.
While I expected at least a goal, this ended 0-0 will not be surprising one bit. It would also still be considered an improvement for usbaby steps.
This is Atletico 2 weeks behind in preparation. Not the same at all. We should be winning this game easily tbh. It's quite concerning that we aren't and have created so little
Elanga sticks out like a sore thumb.
Poor on the ball, looks positionally lost off the ball.
Worrying going into the season as the second choice winger.

The drop in quality from Sancho to Elanga is scary. We really need some attacking depth.
Elanga so slow to react there. Needs to do much better.
What’s the score lads?
Martial just looked to the bench asking to be subbed. Hope no injury
We’re miles off the quality of athletico. They are so economical with the ball players like de Paul, llorente. Everyone knows their roles so well. There is no hope unless we majorly strengthen
We look clueless
Bruno is better in last 5 mins
hey now
The truth hurts fella
Only pre-season but I think we look solid. Dalot seems to have improved. Good stuff
Nobody ever beats Atletico easily. That’s the whole point.
Atletico - Atletico
McTominay deserves to be sent off already.
Ridiculously slow, its going to cost us. He looks slower than ever.
Son of Erik coming on
Knows hes coming off so has decided to play football
Erictson coming on.
Three spelling errors in one name? Impressive.
Holy shit what a miss.
Nunez-esq
Scott is one of the most persistent foulers I’ve ever seen at United. Seems to rarely actually win the ball.
What a miss. Narrow escape for united
What a nice linkup play by Dalot and Bruno.
That pass from Bruno was brillant.
I like our overall play....
Don't know why the atmosphere is so miserable in here.

Erik's son on
... and Donny

Intensity dropping quite a bit tbh. They're done after 60 mins.
Looking knackered here now. Considering we wanted them to get a full 90... Not great?
Elanga will be lucky to play this season if United get a winger.
We haven’t been great second half in all honesty. Nothing coming off for us in attack.
Eriksen VDB Fred midfield incoming? That'll be fun
it actually is, unless you think random people are anointed to state facts on subjective matters?!
