The Italian side couldn’t hold on to a 0-2 lead when they visited Manchester on the last Champions League matchday, eventually losing 3-2 courtesy of a late Cristiano Ronaldo winner. They certainly caused quite a scare though. Can they take all three points on home turf?

Manchester United come into the game with renewed confidence on the back of a convincing 0-3 win against a woeful Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. That bought manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer some time after their 0-5 humiliation at the hands of Liverpool. The pressure remains on the Norwegian and his players, though, and a poor result and performance in Italy would surely put his job in jeopardy once again. 

Atalanta had a somewhat more difficult weekend than Manchester United. They had to score in time added on at the end of both halves to secure a 2-2 draw with Lazio. Duván Zapata and, far more surprisingly, defender Martin de Roon were on the scoresheet for them, underlining their stubbornness, determination, and goal-scoring threat. Indeed their only defeat in their last five games was that match against Manchester United.

Atalanta have already proved that their somewhat gung-ho style can cause Manchester United problems. The home side go into this match in third place in Group F, on the same points as Villarreal, who play Young Boys. The pressure is on Atalanta to claim a win and stay in a strong position to qualify for the next round of the Champions League.

Despite the goalfest in this first match, the return of Raphael Verane and accomplished performance by him at the weekend should give the English side some extra security at the back in the Atalanta vs Manchester United live stream. Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford both scored at the weekend and they start today, while Paul Pogba — suspended in the Premier League on Saturday is back here.

Here's how they line up:

Manchester United: De Gea, Bailly, Maguire, Varane, Wan Bissaka, Shaw, McTominay, Pogba, Fernandes, Rashford, Ronaldo.

Atalanta: Musso, Palomino, Demiral, De Roon, Mæhle, Koopmeiners, Freuler, Zappacosta, Pasalic, Ilicic, Zapata
