Manchester United face selection crisis ahead of Atletico Madrid clash

Manchester United face a major selection crisis ahead of Tuesday's Champions League match against Atletico Madrid, with several key players missing training and doubts over their availability. The club's poor form adds urgency to the fixture. Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo are uncertain for the trip to Spain after missing training at Carrington. Noussair Mazraoui, Patrick Dorgu, and Benjamin Sesko are confirmed absentees, joining long-term injury victim Manuel Ugarte. United have not won in four Premier League matches, most recently drawing 1-1 with Tottenham. Sky Sports reports United's left flank could be particularly vulnerable given Atletico's attacking preferences. Matthijs de Ligt trained Monday as he recovers from a back injury. Carlos Baleba, a £70 million summer signing, is pushing for his first start after debuting against Tottenham.
