UEFA has announced the referee for Manchester United's upcoming Champions League match against Atletico Madrid, scheduled for Tuesday, 13 October at the Metropolitano Stadium. Swedish referee Glenn Nyberg will preside over the game, assisted by Mahbod Beigi, Andreas Söderkvist, Kristoffer Karlsson, and Dutch assistants Pol van Boekel and Dennis Higler.
Manchester United, who qualified for the premier European competition after finishing third in the Premier League last season, have struggled this campaign. The Red Devils have only managed one win in six Premier League games, and their Champions League campaign has started strongly with a 4-0 victory over Sabah. However, their record under Nyberg, the Swedish referee, is poor.
Nyberg has officiated three United games, but United have not won any of them. Their last match under Nyberg was a 2-2 draw with Lyon in the 2024/25 Europa League quarter-final first leg.
The report highlights that Atletico Madrid also have a poor record under Nyberg, with the Spanish giants yet to secure a win under the Swedish official. With United facing a busy fixture period, during which they will play seven games in less than a month, Carrick and his teammates must focus on the positive aspects and regroup quickly for the Champions League encounter.
