After Atletico Madrid finished bottom of their Champions League group on Tuesday night, Manchester United fans made a passionate transfer plea for their team to sign Joao Felix.

 

Diego Simeone’s squad was eliminated from Europe after a 2-1 defeat to Porto. The La Liga club finished last in their group, trailing Bayer Leverkusen, Club Brugge, and their Portuguese opponents, who won the overall group.

 

Atletico will not even advance to the next round of Europa League matches due to their fourth-place performance. Their demise from the Bundesliga was already secured last week, when they drew against Leverkusen to prevent them from finishing in the top two, after missing an injury-time penalty granted after the full-time whistle.

 

In the game, Felix appeared to want to take the penalty himself but was called out by Yannick Carrasco, who went on to miss. Following Tuesday night’s dismal result, the Portuguese international is officially out of both the Champions League and the Europa League for the remainder of the season.

 

United has been linked with a bid for the offensive midfielder, who is reportedly dissatisfied with his lack of playing time under Simeone in Madrid. Erik ten Hag’s team was thought to be interested in providing Felix with a way out, but a potential stumbling block over an exaggerated price tag of more than €100 million may derail any potential transaction.

 

However, with Atletico Madrid’s elimination from Europe this season, the door may have opened slightly for any club interested in Felix’s services. United fans definitely thought so, as they took to social media to urge their club to sign the 22-year-old.
