Team news
Atalanta
In spite of the fact that the Serie A team is missing five players, Atalanta has no new injury concerns.
Marten de Roon could return to the defense as both Rafael Toloi and Berat Djimsiti wll be unavailable.
Ruslan Malinovskyi may also be left out of the starting XI.
Manchester United
Anthony Martial is the lone injury concern for coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after Raphael Varane returned for the 3-0 win over Tottenham.
After missing Saturday’s triumph due to suspension Paul Pogba is back.
Solskjaer may opt for a three-man backline in Italy after the weekend victory.
Atalanta vs Manchester United Prediction
In game week three at Old Trafford Atalanta jumped out to a 2-0 lead but they were beaten 3-2 by Manchester United. Since then they have collected five points out of a possible nine in three games.
Manchester United bounced back from a 5-0 loss to Liverpool with a 3-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. They’ve won just three of their last eight games, which is still a lot of inconsistency.
