Manchester United has received positive fitness news ahead of the second leg of their Champions League match against Atletico Madrid. 

All three players, Bruno Fernandes, Luke Shaw, and Scott McTominay, trained on Monday and are expected to play. 

Anthony Elanga's late equalizer earned Ralf Rangnick's side a possibly undeserved draw in the first leg, tying the score at 1-1 going into the second half of the Round of 16 match at Old Trafford. 

Atletico Madrid is dealing with significant selection issues due to the absence of several key players due to injury.

 

Lineups predicted 

Manchester United starting XI: David de Gea; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Shaw; Fred, McTominay; Sancho, Fernandes, Pogba; Cristiano Ronaldo. 

Oblak; Llorente, Savic, Felipe, Reinildo; De Paul, Koke, Herrera, Lodi; Correa, Felix; Atletico Madrid XI 

Odds 

Atletico Madrid - 11/4 Manchester United - 24/19 Draw - 23/10 

Prediction 

Given how poorly they played for so much of the first leg, Manchester United are extremely fortunate to still be in with a chance of advancing to the quarter-finals. If the home team falls behind again, Atletico Madrid is likely to take advantage a second time - but the game could be much tighter.
