Manchester United Lose Shaw and Mainoo for Atletico Madrid Trip

Manchester United will face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League at the Estadio Metropolitano without Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo after both players suffered issues in the weekend game, manager Michael Carrick confirmed. United returned to Europe's top competition with a 4-0 win over Sabah at Old Trafford, according to the report, but Carrick's side will face a stronger challenge against Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid. Shaw and Mainoo were absent from open training before the match, and Carrick confirmed they would not be available for the trip to Spain.

"They've not travelled, both picked up issues in the game at the weekend so they're out," said Michael Carrick, Manchester United manager.

The absences create a selection problem at left-back because Patrick Dorgu is also sidelined with a hamstring injury sustained while on international duty with Denmark. Noussair Mazraoui is another doubt after returning from Morocco's camp with a knock that kept him out of the 1-1 draw with Tottenham, according to the report.

Diogo Dalot remains an option at left-back after playing in that position several times for United. The situation could also lead to another appearance for Leny Yoro at right-back after he started ahead of Dalot against Tottenham.
