What to expect
Carrick faces heavy pressure after United secured only two wins across their opening eight matches in all competitions. A recent failure against a 10-man Tottenham lineup and a domestic cup exit to Brighton left United reeling domestically, though they opened their European campaign by putting four past Sabah. Marcus Rashford and Carlos Baleba push into a starting lineup anchored by Bruno Fernandes and Bryan Mbeumo.
Atletico sit second in La Liga behind Barcelona following a 2-1 league win over Alaves, powered by left-back Alex Grimaldo. Simeone's squad lost their European opener at Liverpool, meaning they need immediate points at home. Julian Alvarez partners Lee Kang-in up front, backed by a midfield containing Alex Baena and Johnny Cardoso.
United have never defeated Atletico in four previous attempts, losing twice and drawing twice. Their last meeting ended in a 1-0 win for Atleti at Old Trafford back in early 2022, knocking the English side out in the round of 16.
Both squads take the pitch in Madrid as group standings begin to take shape.
