Michael Carrick has a big opportunity to ease the pressure on his managerial position as Manchester United travel to the Spanish capital to meet Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday.
The Red Devils began their European slate with a resounding victory, beating Azerbaijani minnows Sabah back in early September, but the opposition talent is significantly greater this time around.
Atleti were beaten by Liverpool to begin their Champions League schedule, falling 2-1 on goals bracketing halftime after they took an early lead, and now face their second Premier League opponent in as many league phase matches.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
