With friends like these..! Cristiano Ronaldo is dazed and clutches his mouth after a clash of heads with his own clumsy captain Harry Maguire as United chased a vital leveller against Atletico Madrid

Footage has emerged showing Harry Maguire accidentally clashing heads with Cristiano Ronaldo in Manchester United's defeat by Atletico Madrid.

The duo endured a night to forget as United's last chance of claiming silverware vanished with a 1-0 defeat at Old Trafford and 2-1 aggregate loss against the Spanish champions in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Maguire struggled yet again with another poor defensive performance and was ironically cheered off by some of the home fans when he was replaced by Juan Mata with six minutes remaining.
