Manchester United fans have decided they need to 'save' an Atletico Madrid player following their 2-1 defeat to Porto in the Champions League.

Diego Simeone's side entered their final Group B game on Tuesday evening knowing they'd already been eliminated from Europe's elite competition.

They needed a win in Portugal to seal entry to the Europa League but came up short.

Joao Felix, who joined Atletico for a club-record £113 million in 2019, was hauled off on the hour mark with the scores at 2-0.

The 22-year-old walked straight past his manager before taking a seat on the bench. Cameras cut to Felix throughout the half, who cut a forlorn figure.

It's said Felix and Simeone's relationship is fractured, with the Portugal international linked with a transfer away.

United are likely to need a new striker next summer as Cristiano Ronaldo's contract is set to expire. Ronaldo attempted to leave the club during the summer but no official bid arrived.

Anthony Martial has been plagued by injury issues this season too, making just three Premier League appearances.

Red Devils supporters are convinced Felix would be the perfect striker under manager Erik ten Hag.

One person said: "Someone needs to save Joao Felix from this finished Atletico Madrid team."

A second commented: "We should be all over him."

Someone tweeted: "Joao Felix doesn't deserve this pain."

While a fourth put: "It's time. We let's get him out of there."

Atletico had an Antoine Griezmann goal harshly ruled out midway through the second half due to a foul in the build up.

The visitors had their chances but were denied by Diogo Costa, who top teams across the continent are watching closely.

In injury time, Atletico managed to get one back via Ivan Marcano's own goal. Porto managed to hold on for all three points to seal top spot in the group.

Atletico will now turn their attentions to La Liga. They're currently in third place, eight points adrift of Barcelona in second.
