Ralf Rangnick has named his Manchester United starting line-up for the crunch Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid at Old Trafford this evening.
Following Anthony Elanga’s equaliser at the Wanda Metropolitano three weeks ago, the Red Devils come into the second leg of the last-16 tie with the scoreline level at 1-1.
Here is how the German has set his side up for the game against Diego Simeone’s side…
Starting XI: De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Telles, McTominay, Fred, Fernandes, Elanga, Sancho, Ronaldo.
Substitutes: Heaton, Henderson, Bailly, Lindelof, Jones, Wan-Bissaka, Matic, Pogba, Mata, Lingard, Rashford, Cavani.
You can see how the XI compares to our predicted line-up here.
The big news is that Bruno Fernandes is back in the starting line-up and United’s Portuguese ‘Magnifico’ is one of three changes Rangnick has made to the team that beat Tottenham 3-2 on Saturday.
United’s number 18 comes into the side as does Elanga the hero from the Spanish capital and Scott McTominay. The trio replace Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford.
Cristiano Ronaldo will be looking to build on his hat-trick against Tottenham and shine on the biggest stage in club football once again.
