Sports Mole looks at how Manchester United could line up in Tuesday's Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid.

Manchester United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick has a number of big decisions to make when it comes to team selection for Tuesday's Champions League last-16 second leg with Atletico Madrid.

The home side will again be without Mason Greenwood due to a club suspension, but Bruno Fernandes, Luke Shaw and Scott McTominay could all come back into the side here.

Fernandes missed out against Tottenham through COVID-19, while Shaw was absent for the same reason, but both players are back in training ahead of the contest.

McTominay should also overcome the calf problem that forced him to miss out against Tottenham, with the Scotland international expected to feature in the middle of the park.

Cristiano Ronaldo, fresh from his three-goal display against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, will lead the line, while Jadon Sancho is a certain starter in an attacking area.

The likely return of McTominay could lead to Paul Pogba being shifted into a wide left position, with Fernandes returning to the number 10 position for the 20-time English champions.

Diogo Dalot is likely to hold off competition from Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Victor Lindelof to start at right-back, but Alex Telles could just get the nod over Shaw at left-back.

Marcus Rashford was handed a start against Spurs on Saturday, but the England international found it difficult to make his mark in his side's 3-2 victory, and the attacker is likely to be back on the bench here.

Manchester United possible starting lineup: De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Telles; Fred, McTominay; Sancho, Fernandes, Pogba; Ronaldo
