How to watch and follow Atalanta v Man Utd

FORM GUIDE

United go into Tuesday’s game in Italy having got back to winning ways at the weekend, with Cristiano Ronaldo, Edinson Cavani and Marcus Rashford all on the scoresheet in a 3-0 victory at Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

The Reds now have a point to prove away from home in Europe though, after the shock 2-1 reverse to Young Boys in September. Before the 3-2 defeat to Roma in May at the Stadio Olimpico, we twice won impressively in Italy last season, with Pogba’s goal at the San Siro settling the Europa League tie with AC Milan. Prior to that, the Reds beat Real Sociedad 4-0 in Turin in February, with the game being moved due to COVID restrictions.

As for Atalanta, they also played on Saturday, with a 94th-minute equaliser from Marten de Roon rescuing a point in stoppage time of their Serie A clash at home to Lazio. That goal cancelled out visiting forward Ciro Immobile’s strike and was the second time in the game that La Dea had come from behind to level the contest, after Duvan Zapata had earlier equalised following Pedro’s opener.

Prior to that match, the Italians hadn’t exactly given supporters at the Gewiss Stadium much to cheer this season, with just two wins from six home games. Sassuolo (2-1) and Young Boys (1-0) were the victims, but Bologna, Fiorentina, Milan and Udinese have all left Bergamo with points so far in 2021/22.
