Predicted MUFC XI vs Atalanta (Champions League home, 2021/22)

Our predicted MUFC XI for our huge Champions League game vs Atalanta is now in…

Manchester United’s overall form has been pretty poor recently, that much is obvious. Last time out in the Champions League though, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men secured a massive victory at home to Villareal.

Now, it’s about backing that up and taking control of this group against Atalanta. The double-header against the Serie A side starts at Old Trafford tomorrow, with the Red Devils looking to bounce back, while also aiding Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in his bid to preserve his job.

Make no mistake about it, this one will not be easy. The Italian side will be coming to Manchester with every intention of upsetting the applecart, so it’s up to our players to be at their very best.

Anyway, let’s get right into the all-important team news…

Check out our predicted MUFC XI vs Atalanta in full here:

David de Gea starts this one in between the sticks, though I don’t doubt Dean Henderson is under serious consideration for a start.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s European ban was actually reduced to one game, meaning he’ll be available to play here following suspension. Luke Shaw will get the start at left-back, as per usual. Harry Maguire is probably touch and go to be included here but I think he’ll play, as will Victor Lindelof.

Scott McTominay wasn’t in the line-up at the weekend so I think he’ll be in from the off here. I’ve gone for a midfield three, with Fred and Bruno Fernandes making up the trio.

Edinson Cavani deserves more game time, that much is obvious. He’ll have to settle for a left-wing berth here, a role he’s not completely unfamiliar with as he played in that spot for PSG on more than one occasion. Mason Greenwood is the undroppable member of United’s front three, with Cristiano Ronaldo making up the starting XI.
