Bruno Fernandes set to start on right wing for Manchester United at Atletico
October 13, 2026 18:00
Journalist Djamel has revealed that Manchester United manager Michael Carrick plans to start captain Bruno Fernandes on the right wing in tonight's Champions League trip to Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano.
TACTICAL CHANGE
According to the report, Youri Tielemans will move into the number 10 role, which could allow Carrick to deploy two more defensive midfielders in Andrey Santos and Carlos Baleba. United arrive in Madrid winless in their last two matches ahead of the fixture against Diego Simeone's side.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Carrick's position at Manchester United is currently described as safe, but the report notes that the team's results in coming fixtures will be important. After the Atletico away game, United face two more away matches — at Leeds United and Como — which the report says could influence his future at the club.
