5-season drought for Man United

MANCHESTER, England, Mar 16 (AP): Expensive mediocrity confirmed: Manchester United's trophy drought completes a fifth season.
The last path to a title was ended at an Old Trafford now accustomed to letdowns as United was knocked out of the Champions League in a 1-0 loss to Atlético Madrid on Tuesday.
In a tight and tense game, Renan Lodi made the difference by scoring his first goal in the competition in his 25th appearance, meeting Antoine Griezmann's cross with a header after being left unmarked at the far post by defender Diogo Dalot in the 41st minute.
So often the team's savior, David de Gea was beaten. The goalkeeper feels the pain more, being the only starter still in the team from the end of the trophy-filled Alex Ferguson era in 2013.
Cristiano Ronaldo departed Old Trafford before Ferguson retired and the malaise kicked in. The 37-year-old star returned this season - after collecting trophies at Real Madrid and Juventus - to be the difference-maker.
Rather than dazzling, as he did with Saturday's hat trick against Tottenham, Ronaldo didn't manage a single shot against the Spanish champions.
