Team news & rosters
| Position | Manchester United roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | De Gea, Heaton, Henderson, Kovar |
| Defenders | Lindelof, Bailly, Maguire, Dalot, Shaw, Telles, Wan-Bissaka, Mengi |
| Midfielders | Pogba, Mata, Lingard, Diallo, Fred, Fernandes, Sancho, Matic, Van de Beek, McTominary, Mejbri |

With just one win in their last five games, it is fair to say that a crisis is brewing at the Red Devils, particularly given the arsenal of talent they have at hand.
But those players are among some of the best in the game, and even with Raphael Varane injured, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side will be determined to get back on track this time around.
Predicted Man Utd starting XI: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay, Pogba; Greenwood, Fernandes, Rashford; Ronaldo.
| Position | Atalanta roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Musso, Rossi, Sportiello |
| Defenders | Toloi, Maehle, Palomino, Pezzella,, Demiral, Scalvini, Lovato, Zappacosta |
| Midfielders | Koopmeiners, Freuler, De Roon, Malinovskyi, Ilicic, Pasalic |
| Forwards | Muriel, Miranchuk, Zapata, Piccoli |
Having found the back of the net in each of their last five games - on more than one occasion in all but a single match too - Atalanta clearly have no issue when it comes to grabbing the goals.
But while a win will strengthen Gian Piero Gasperini's side's prospects at the top of the table in Group F, he will not doubt that a tricky task lies ahead at Old Trafford.
Predicted Atalanta starting XI: Musso; Palomino, Demiral, Toloi; Zappacosta, Freuler, De Roon, Maehle; Malinovskyi, Ilicic; Zapata.
