UEFA Champions League Atalanta welcome Manchester United

Atalanta hope to show they learnt lessons from their first leg meeting with Manchester United when the Italians host the English side.

The two teams meet in a Group F match of the Uefa Champions League on Tuesday night.

In the first leg, Atalanta’s manager Gian Piero Gasperini saw his side squander a two-goal lead before losing 3-2 to the hosts courtesy of Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal. 

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has included Ivorians Amad and Eric Bailly in the 25-member squad for the match.

United have also travelled with midfielder Paul Pogba as his red card suspension is for domestic games.

Anthony Martial is also in the squad but Victor Lindelof is ruled out after picking a knock in training.

United are coming from a 3-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

The group remains wide open with United leading on six points from three games followed by Atalanta and Villareal on four points apiece.

Young Boys, who stunned United at the start of the group campaign, anchor the table.
