Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid team news
Luke Shaw is the only injury worry for United, though he returned to training on Monday and a decision will be made late. Elsewhere, Bruno Fernandes’ Covid scare is over, along with David De Gea’s, offering Rangnick a largely healthy squad from which to choose.
For Atletico, Koke recently returned to action in a big boost for Diego Simeone but Yannick Carrasco misses out through suspension.
Mario Hermoso, Geoffrey Kondogbia and Jose Gimenez, meanwhile, have all been included in the squad after injury doubts.
Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid prediction
It’s hard to think of a more delicately-poised tie. Still, both teams have had problems, although United have rarely lost games with a whimper under Rangnick. Manchester City aside, their form has largely been decent enough, just not always convincingly so.
Man United to win, 2-1.
