Atlético de Madrid and Manchester United have announced their starting lineups ahead of their highly anticipated European clash at the Metropolitano.

Atlético de Madrid host Manchester United at the Metropolitano on Tuesday evening on matchday two of the Champions League league phase. Just minutes before kick-off, both coaches announced their official lineups.

Diego Simeone must manage without Koke, who is absent following his mother’s death, while Manchester United are without Kobbie Mainoo and Luke Shaw due to physical problems. The Argentine coach had also warned his players ahead of this fixture, despite the difficult period being endured by the Red Devils.
