Man United latest: Frontrunners to sign JJ Gabriel emerge and ex-Chelsea boss 'shortlisted'

The pressure is intensifying on Michael Carrick , who desperately needs a good result as Manchester United face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League . Carrick's side have failed to secure victory in their four fixtures since launching the league phase with a 4-0 triumph against minnows Sabah of Azerbaijan. United's most recent disappointment arrived in Saturday's 1-1 draw with 10-man Tottenham, who levelled in added time, despite losing Rodrigo Bentancur to a second-half dismissal. The Spurs midfielder received his marching orders for headbutting Shaw, who had responded furiously to a hefty challenge from the Uruguay international.
