Manchester United vs Atalanta: Official Match Thread

Group F Before Kick-off:

The first ever meeting between the two clubs is set to take place under the floodlights of the Theatre of Dreams tonight.

Man United Team News:
Good news is Martial unvailable, bad news is Fred and Cavani should be OK to feature. Worse news is AWB is available after his suspension was changed to 1 game.

Atalanta Team News:
Rafael Toloi (centre back apparently) was injured in their game at the weekend and is likely to be ruled out. Matteo Pessina, Robin Gosens, Hans Hateboer and Berat Djimsiti are set to be unvailable as well for the Italians. I have no idea who any of them are to be honest, but I am sure they'll be a massive miss for Atalanta.

Prediction:
Fast paced exciting game ends with a 3-2 home win helped by a Ronaldo brace for Ole's boys.

Highlights:

Think we'll see something a bit different tonight. "Something has to give".

Reckon we'll pull out the 3-2-2-1-2 personally, with Ronaldo and Cavani up top.

Reckon we'll go back to basics with a 7 man defence and look to hit Rashy on the break.

This is a must win. I think we will. Probably won't be pretty though.

3-2

We'll start well, maybe even score first but Atalanta will come into it, they'll take control & play the better football.

Zapata will torture our defence esp Lindelhof.

United 2-3 Atalanta

them to score first, united to win 2 or 3-1.

jesse to start!

What a time to be alive

Welcome to the Pogba and rashy show: 6 nil united

Score early and I fancy us. If we huff and puff, Atalanta will grow into it, the crowd will get anxious and it’ll be a long old night.

Huge game for Ole

I smell a back five with Mcfratic in front of it

Same. I’ll take it too if we look a bit more solid. Call me picky, but I’m getting a tad tired seeing every single team we play just run straight through us.

forgot these #@&%!s are playing tonight.

Usual will Halle . We go 1-0 up, they’ll equalise before half time then they score a late winner.

I’m beginning to dread watching us these days

Usual 10 minutes where we look sharp, have a few chances and then they’ll be running rings around our midfield by the 20th minute and we’ll look out of ideas for the rest of the game unless Ronaldo/Bruno/Pogba/Rashford have a moment of individual brilliance. Can’t wait...

I’m going to this but not looking forward to it. Struggling to see us win atm. A draw perhaps?

2-2

“You either become the hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain”

De Gea

AWB Lindelof Maguire Shaw

The Scottish Player Fred

Greenwood Fernandes Lingard

Cavani

Need a win badly. Don't care how ugly it is but we need to see every single player actually put a shift in as opposed to the half-arsed, minimal-effort bullshit we've seen so far.

We actually just sent J-Lingz and Pogba into the hotel to do the Door Knock TikTok challenge.

This generation

Atalanta could leather us tonight.

Must say that the OP is beautifully presented

I saw the highlights of Atlanta’s game this weekend

They look much better than Manchester United, and therefore I will go for an away win
