Manchester United come into the game with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer under huge pressure following a calamitous 4-2 defeat against Leicester City at the weekend. While the often-entertaining Atalanta have had a mixed start to their Serie A season, they comprehensively beat Empoli 1-4 on Sunday, giving them some confidence heading into today’s match.
That weekend win means Atalanta are now unbeaten in their last 11 away games in all competitions, and it is the Italians who sit top of Group F on 4 points. Manchester United are in third, on equal points with Swiss side Young Boys. Consequently the two games between Manchester United and Atalanta are likely to prove crucial in deciding who qualifies for the next round, and in what position they do so.
Having served a now-reduced ban following his sending off against Young Boys, right-back Aaron Wan Bissaka is eligible to feature in the Manchester United vs Atalanta game and duly returns here. Anthony Martial and Raphael Verane are out injured, but Fred, Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford are all back in the starting line-up.
German international Robin Gosens misses out for Atalanta following a thigh injury picked up earlier in the competition. Hans Hateboer and Berat Djimsiti join him on the injury list, as do Matteo Pessina and Rafael Toloi.
As ever on a big European night, all eyes will be on Cristiano Ronaldo, who has scored on his two previous Champions League appearances this season. He had a successful time away with Portugal, scoring a hat-trick in his country’s 5-0 demolition of Luxembourg. In doing so, he became the first player in men's football to score 10 international hat-tricks. However, he failed to build on his three Premier League goals on his return this weekend, and some are even questioning whether Manchester United are a better, more balanced, team without him.
Here's how they line up:
