Atletico Madrid defeated Manchester United 2-0 in the Champions League on Wednesday, a result that leaves United without a win in five matches, according to Sky Sports. United played much of the game a man down after Leny Yoro was sent off.

Pablo Barrios put Atletico ahead after just 53 seconds, The Guardian reports. Sky Sports confirms the final score and the dismissal of Yoro, while UEFA.com lists the match among its Champions League highlights.

The loss adds pressure on United manager Michael Carrick. The Independent reports that the defeat shows time is running out for him, describing it as United's latest setback. Sky Sports frames the result as part of a five-game winless stretch for Carrick's side.

United had travelled to Madrid for the fixture, with the club publishing its lineup ahead of kick-off, according to Manchester United's own matchday post. Beyond the early Atletico goal and the red card, no further details of the goals or the sending-off were available in the source material.

The result leaves United searching for a response in their coming fixtures, while Atletico take the points in front of their home support.

What to watch next: whether Carrick's position comes under further scrutiny, and how United line up in their next match as they try to end the winless run.
