United secure top place in Champions League Group F after Atalanta drop points vs Young Boys

Man United will finish top of Group F in the Champions League, it has become clear after the results of Matchday 5.

The Red Devils defeated Villarreal 2-0 while Atalanta ended up dropping two points in Switzerland after an entertaining 3-3 draw with Young Boys.

As a result, Atalanta are four points down and with one game to go, they can't catch up with United.

The only team that can still match United's tally is Villarreal. However, the Premier League side will still finish above them due to a better head-to-head record after they beat the Spaniards twice.

So, Man United will avoid facing some of the continent's best teams in the Round of 16. At the moment, Bayern Munich are the only other team to have secured the top spot.
