Manchester United will be looking to end their dismal away form in the UEFA Champions League when facing Atlético de Madrid at the Estadio Metropolitano.
Man Utd have endured a difficult start to the 2026/27 campaign, and they hoped that they would be able to reverse their fortunes following the conclusion of the international break when welcoming Tottenham Hotspur to Old Trafford.
Michael Carrick's side could only manage a point against the North London outfit -- conceding a 92nd minute equaliser to Dominic Solanke -- and they now head to the Spanish capital to face an Atleti side who have enjoyed a fruitful start to the La Liga term, placed second in the standings after six wins from eight.
Man Utd emerged victorious in convincing 4-0 fashion in their only UEFA Champions League game of the campaign against Sabah, but it's hard to imagine a world in which they enjoy quite as much success against Diego Simeone's well-drilled outfit.
With the English giants looking to end their bleak spell on the road in Europe's elite competition, we take a look at their last away win in the UEFA Champions League.
When did Manchester United last win a UEFA Champions League away game?
Man Utd's last away win in the UEFA Champions League came on 23rd November 2021.
Remarkably, then interim manager Carrick was in charge as they defeated Villarreal 2-0 at the Estadio de la Cerámica in Group F of the 2021/22 UEFA Champions League season. Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho were the goalscorers.
Man Utd were later eliminated in the round of 16 against Atleti, and they struggled to get going on the road upon their return to the competition in 2023/24, losing to Bayern München and Copenhagen and drawing against Galatasaray as they crashed out in the group stage.
In the 2026/27 competition, the Red Devils will travel to Atlético de Madrid, Como, Sporting CP and Villarreal in a bid to improve their away form.
