Manchester United – Atalanta

Manchester United are set to play Atalanta at Old Trafford on Wednesday in the group stage of the Champions League. Manchester United come into this game on the back of a 4-2 loss to Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City in the English Premier League. Atalanta, on the other hand, beat Aurelio Andreazzoli’s Empoli 4-1 in Serie A.

This is the first time Manchester United and Atalanta are facing each other in the Champions League. United are now in crisis mode. Consistently bad performances have increased the pressure on manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Atalanta, on the other hand, are 6th in Serie A. They are top of their Champions League group, and stand a good chance of qualifying to the next round. On current form, it would not be surprising to see them get a result against Manchester United.
