Scott McTominay, Bruno Fernandes and Luke Shaw have returned to first-team training in a big boost for the home side. Victor Lindelof could replace skipper Harry Maguire in the starting eleven with Nemanja Matic also settling for a place on the bench. Anthony Elanga should come in for Marcus Rashford on the right-wing with the in-form Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo shouldering the bulk of the attacking play.
Daniel Wass, Matheus Cunha, Mario Hermoso and Geoffrey Kondogbia are all ruled out for Atletico Madrid while Yannick Carrasco is suspended. Thomas Lemar and Sime Vrasljko are also not part of the matchday squad which complicates things further for the visitors. Joao Felix and Angel Correa have crucial roles to play in the attacking third with Hector Herrera shielding the back three.
