Arsenal legend Thierry Henry believes Manchester United's upcoming match against Atletico Madrid will provide a better understanding of the team's prospects in the Champions League this year. United kicked off their league-phase campaign with a 4-0 win over Azerbaijani side Sabah, with goals from Matheus Cunha, Bruno Fernandes, and Benjamin Sesko.
By halftime, the Red Devils were firmly in control, and Lisandro Martinez extended the lead in the second half following a goalkeeping mistake. Although United didn't advance past the group stages in their last Champions League campaign, they aim to avoid a similar result in the newly structured league phase. Speaking on CBS Sports, Henry said, "That was the perfect game to have at home to start the Champions League and be back in it."
He added that the weekend's match against Manchester City will reveal more about the team's form, with the clash against Atletico Madrid on matchday three potentially confirming their position. However, Henry emphasized that it's still too early to gauge their chances.
