Michael Carrick urged to brutally ditch £35m signing for Atletico clash after Spurs disasterclass

Manchester United boss Michael Carrick has been urged to drop Youri Tielemans for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid following his disappointing display against Tottenham Hotspur. The £35m summer signing struggled to impose himself during Saturday's 1-1 draw at Old Trafford , with respected journalist Henry Winter questioning whether he is suited to United's midfield requirements. He believes Carrick must turn to Carlos Baleba alongside Kobbie Mainoo to provide greater defensive protection. Tielemans was substituted after just 60 minutes against Spurs, having struggled to influence proceedings in a game United desperately needed to win.
