Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United predicted line-ups: Team news ahead of Champions League fixture tonight

Harry Maguire will be back in action

Manchester United’s captain Harry Maguire is receiving support from his teammates ahead of their Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

Bruno Fernandes was accused of making a dig at Maguire after posting a picture with Raphael Varane and Eric Bailly and captioning it ‘feeling very safe between these two’. The forward has now clarified he fully backs Maguire.

“Honestly, I think people question everything at this club,” he told Premier League Productions when asked. “Every week we have a new story about something. I posted a photo on Instagram where I was with Rapha and Eric and I said, ‘I feel very secure in the middle with these two.’

“Meaning, ‘security’ like if [someone] comes they are like my bodyguards. And people were complaining I was throwing something at Maguire. But Maguire was not the only defender who was not in the photo. [Victor] Lindelof was not in the photo, Phil Jones was not in the photo.

“People want to complain and want to make stories around us, but the most important [thing] is that we stick together and do our jobs on the pitch. Obviously, everyone is really happy with H because it’s really tough being in his place in the last period. Honestly, we all have bad games.”
