Gab Marcotti discusses Cristiano Ronado's game-winning goal vs. Atalanta in the Champions League. (1:09)
MANCHESTER, England -- Only time will tell what Manchester United's win over Atalanta -- having battled back from two goals down to win 3-2 -- actually means. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will hope it becomes a turning point after a miserable month of four defeats in seven games rather than a Jose Mourinho-against-Newcastle United moment.
Amid intense speculation surrounding Mourinho's job in October 2019, United battled back from 2-0 down to win 3-2. While the Portuguese coach lived to fight another day, he was sacked eight weeks later.
If nothing else, three goals in the second half against Atalanta at least means United have some semblance of momentum ahead of Liverpool's visit to Old Trafford on Sunday. It may be that they simply have to try to out-score Jurgen Klopp's team because it would be a minor miracle if they managed to stop Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and the rest after conceding six goals in five days.
