Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick is expected to recall Marcus Rashford and hand Carlos Baleba his full debut as his side visit Atletico Madrid in the Champions League tonight. United have not won since their opening game in this season's competition and drew 1-1 with Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend.
Defensive decisions
Senne Lammens keeps his place in goal, though his distribution needs to improve against a side with Atletico's quality. Carrick shocked many on Saturday by selecting Leny Yoro at right-back ahead of Diogo Dalot, a decision linked to United's game plan and one he appears likely to stick with in Spain. Dalot could be recalled to replace Luke Shaw at left-back.
Midfield and attack changes
Kobbie Mainoo is absent from midfield, with Mason Mount and Andrey Santos vying for his spot and Santos the marginal favourite. Youri Tielemans started on Saturday but struggled, while Carlos Baleba deserves his full debut. Bruno Fernandes, off the pace since his masterclass against Ipswich Town, is unlikely to be dropped for a game of this magnitude.
Amad came through his first appearance of the season unscathed and should keep his place on the right, while Benjamin Sesko remains absent. On the left, Rashford had a brief cameo against Spurs after losing his place to Matheus Cunha, who was quiet until he helped set up Bryan Mbeumo's goal. Cunha may have to settle for a place on the bench against his former side.
Mbeumo should lead the line again in Sesko's absence. He scored twice against Atletico in pre-season, though this is a much trickier test.
