Manchester United’s Champions League league phase campaign restarts with a tough test away at Atlético Madrid at the Estadio Metropolitano in Spain.
Michael Carrick inspired the Red Devils back into Europe’s premier club competition after his appointment as interim manager in January, but the now-full-time boss hasn’t enjoyed the added challenges at the start of the 2026–27 campaign.
United were deservedly pegged back by the 10 men of Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend, extending their winless run in domestic competitions to four matches. Carrick’s side are currently plagued by distinct issues without possession, and while running statistics aren’t the be-all and end-all, United are unlikely to win many matches playing with the intensity they’ve offered in recent outings.
A switch of environment could benefit the under-fire Red Devils, even if few enjoy their trips to the Metropolitano.
Atlético enter this bout having won each of their previous four games, and one of their notable summer arrivals, Cristian Romero, was the match-winner at the weekend. Romero’s 88th-minute goal fired Atléti past Alavés on Saturday, keeping Diego Simeone’s side above cross-city rivals Real Madrid in the La Liga table.
