Manchester United XI vs Atletico Madrid: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and injury latest for friendly

Unlike some of his contemporaries, Carrick has shied away from making wholesale changes to his lineup between friendlies against Wrexham and Rosenborg.He has also been perfectly willing to give his first-team stars minutes on the pitch, suggesting Tielemans could be set to slot straight into the starting lineup days after meeting his team-mates.All smiles: Youri Tielemans reports for training at Carrington for the first timeGettyThe Belgian reported for training alongside his countryman Senne Lammens, who will hope to unseat Radek Vitek between the sticks.In front of him, Carrick has settled on what will likely be his first-choice back-four in the Premier League this season, comprising Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire, Ayden Heaven and Luke Shaw.Tielemans will partner Andrey Santos at the base of midfield, allowing Mason Mount to shift forward into his preferred No10 role. He will be flanked by Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu, with Joshua Zirkzee leading the line.Tyler Fredricson will play no part after he was sold to Lausanne-Sport midweek. Benjamin Sesko is still thought to be carrying a shin injury and may not feature.There will be plenty of young talent on the bench hoping for a chance to impress. Ethan Williams, Jacob Devaney and Harry Amass will all be keen to build on their goalscoring cameos against Rosenborg last time out.Man Utd predicted XI vs Atletico Madrid (4-2-3-1): Lammens; Yoro, Maguire, Heaven, Shaw; Tielemans, Santos; Mbeumo, Mount, Dorgu; ZirkzeeTime and date: 2pm BST on August 1, 2026Venue: Strawberry Arena, Stockholm
