Manchester United faces a tall task ahead in their Champions League group stage match against Atalanta at Old Trafford on Wednesday, October 20. 

The Red Devils have been under fire for their dismal performance in the past games. Ole Gunnar's side has only picked up one win in their past five matches across all competitions.

In their Champions League campaign, Man Utd have recorded one win and a loss.

Man United will rely on individual brilliance from the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba in order to outwit Atalanta who have gone unbeaten in their past two Champions League bouts.

Their recent match saw the team thrash Empoli 4-1 in the Serie A campaign- picking up huge momentum in the process. 

The Wednesday match is a must-win game for Ole Gunnar whose managerial skills have been put into question by pundits and analysts as some claim the job proves to be a herculean task for the Norwegian.
