Prediction: Atalanta 1-2 Man United
Given the Manchester Derby on the weekend, United could slightly alter their side with Cavani and Shaw being given less or no time as they bid to stay fit.
The Red Devils would be confident after their win over Spurs as they aim to tackle a good Atalanta side.
Atalanta’s recent results has shown sparks of inconsistency yet they remain a formidable unit capable of doing well.
With home comforts, we expect them to go toe-to-toe in this one but given United’s abilities; we see a Red Devils away win here.
Players to watch out for: Muriel, Demiral, Ronaldo and Fernandes.
