The Portuguese star scored three goals in six appearances against La Dea during his time in Turin.
“He is an extraordinary player, his numbers speak from themselves,” Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini said at a pre-match press conference today.
Manchester United have collected three points in two games, while Atalanta travel to Old Trafford as the Group F leaders with four points.
