Preview
Man United picked up a last ditch three points against Villarreal as they won 2-1 at home on MD 2 with Telles and Ronaldo being the goal-scorers.
Following which, the Red Devils have slumped in form by drawing and losing their next 2 league matches and showing an array of issues prevalent in the squad.
Manchester United have not been able to stitch good performances in a row and are desperate to get a win on Wednesday night in the UCL.
The English side have lost 3 and drawn 1 of their last 5 matches across competitions and have their backs to the wall.
With the lack of cohesion and technical faults, we could see a changed line up from the hosts.
On the other hand, Atalanta managed a 1-0 home win over Young Boys on MD 2 with Pessina scored the winner.
Atalanta has proved their mettle in recent seasons and remain a formidable unit in this competition.
Their run has not been the best since the start of the season but La Dea have the players to make a difference.
The Italian side is at the top of Group F with 4 points from 2 matches.

Atalanta possible 11:
Musso, Demiral, Palomino, Lovato, Mæhle, de Roon, Freuler, Zappacosta, Pasalic, Zapata and Malinovsky
Prediction: Man United 2-1 Atalanta
United are under pressure to deliver as a result we could witness a change in the starting 11.
With this, we see United gaining an upper hand as well with the home support rallying them on.
Atalanta will put in a solid performance and avoid conceding as their defence has been a weak point this time.
We expect the Red Devils to implement the new game plan and pick up three massive points that gives them confidence ahead of a tough run of games.
Players to watch out for: Cavani, Fernandes, Zappacosta and Zapata.
