Zapata shoots! A snap shot from the Colombian striker from distance and the dip almost catches De Gea. But the Spaniard manages to punt it out for a corner.
Sancho and Van de Beek readying to come on for United, who have been dominating possession but are offering close to nothing in an attacking threat. Something needs to change and fast if they are going to find yet another last gasp goal.
Cavani gives the ball away on the left deep inside his own half and Zapata is free in the center as the cross comes in. Again, Bailly is on hand to snuff out the danger, sticking out a leg to impede the pass to Zapata.

Second half starts
Atalanta get the second half underway.
That goal was Ronaldo's 8th in 11 games for United so far this season.
Atalanta took an early lead through Ilicic and looked the better side against a United side who were offering very little attack. But eventually Ronaldo came to the rescue to finish off a well-worked team goal in injury time for the visitors, who return to the top of the group with the scores as they are. Villarreal lead 1-0 against Young Boys in the other group F fixture.
Half time!

Another United defensive blunder allows Atalanta to break but again Bailly is on hand to block the shot.
Bailly saves a cetain Atalanta goal! A huge blunder in the United defence puts Zapata one on one with De Gea inside the box but Bailly comes to block the shot, saving his team mates from a big embarrassment.
Ronaldo pressing hard on a defender and forcing the ball into touch within Atalanta's third -- not something you see often.
Zapata gets in behind the United defence on the right and blasts his ball over the near post. He had a team mate in acres of space to his left had he only looked up.

Atalanta take the lead!
Zapata beats Wan Bissaka and plays a ball across the box to Ilicic, who strikes a low shot towards goal. De Gea gets a hand to it but he spills and the ball goes into the back of the net. There has been a VAR check for an possible offside in the build-up, but the goal stands.

United hit the post!
McTominay's strike from just inside the box takes a wicked deflection that takes the speed out of the ball and it almost crawls over the line, but instead tips the post.
Only 800 United fans in attendance but "Viva Ronaldo" can be heard loud and clear from the away section of the stands.

Game starts
United get the game underway! Both teams take the knee against racism.
The teams are on the field and ready to with Manchester United playing in Bergamo for their first time. If United win tonight, they will only need 1 point from their final two games. If they lose, they could see themselves eliminated with defeat to Villarreal in game 5.
Lindelof has not travelled to Bergamo
Victor Lindelof will miss Manchester United's Champions League game against Atalanta after picking up a knock in training Monday. The club said the centre-back did not make the trip to Bergamo ahead of Tuesday's Group F clash.
Lindelof played in the back alongside Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane in Saturday's 3-0 defeat of Tottenham. With Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sticking with a back three, Eric Bailly will step in for Lindelof against Atalanta.
Bruno Fernandes: "We have such good qualities"
Bruno Fernandes gave his take before tonight's game. He starts in a three-man midfield with Pogba and McTominay as Solskjaer opts for another 5-3-2 following the successful formation change for the game against Spurs...
Chelsea, Wolfsburg secure wins
In the two early kick offs, Chelsea won 1-0 away at Malmo thanks to Hakim Zyech's lone goal, while Wolfsburg beat RB Salzbur 2-1 at home.
Ronaldo aiming to hurt Italians once more
United are looking to record their 150th victory in the European Cup/Champions League, which would make them the first English side to reach this milestone, and fourth overall after Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Barcelona.
Having failed to win in five domestic games prior to Sunday, pressure was starting to pile on Solskjaer. A third win in a row in the Champions League will boost confidence further.
Cristiano Ronaldo will be aiming to break Atalanta hearts as he did when he scored the winner in a 3-2 turnaround at Old Trafford on matchday three. Since returning to United, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored in all three of his Champions League appearances – the last player to score in four consecutive appearances for the club in the competition was Ruud van Nistelrooy in April 2003.

Group F standings
United currently sit top of the table, after winning their last two games against Atalanta and Villarreal, making up for their shock loss against Young Boys, who have lost their previous two games following that opening day win against Red Devils. And with Villarreal and Atalanta on 4 points each, it's all still very much to play for in Group F. A win tonight for United would see them as firm favorites for the top spot.
Atalanta-Man Utd: Last meeting
United found themselves 2-0 down within the first half hour against Atalanta the last time these two met 15 days ago. But a three-goal rout in the second half saw the Red Devils pull off a second UCL last gasp victory at home, although Ronald's late goal in the 81st minute came 13 minutes before that against Villarreal two weeks prior.
