Key duo ruled out as Carrick makes 4 changes | Predicted Man Utd XI vs Atletico Madrid

Manchester United are preparing to face Atletico Madrid at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano on matchday two of the Champions League league phase. Writer Ash Kilner projects that manager Michael Carrick could recall Diogo Dalot and Marcus Rashford to the starting lineup. The Red Devils enter the European clash looking to bounce back after failing to win any of their previous four matches across all competitions.

According to the report, Luke Shaw has been ruled out and Kobbie Mainoo did not travel to Madrid. Dalot is tipped to deputize at left-back alongside Leny Yoro, Lisandro Martinez, and Harry Maguire in defense. In midfield and attack, Andrey Santos could partner Youri Tielemans, while Matheus Cunha is predicted to start as the striker against his former club.
