Story summary

Manchester United's upcoming match against Atletico Madrid is not being broadcast on TNT Sports due to a change in broadcasting rights. Currently, Paramount has outbid TNT to air European football competitions for the remainder of the season. Manchester United, led by interim head coach Michael Carrick, are experiencing a challenging start to their Premier League campaign, currently sitting in 12th place. They recently drew 1-1 with Tottenham Hotspur after Dominic Solanke scored an equalizing goal late in the match, following Rodrigo Bentancur's red card for headbutting Luke Shaw. Atletico Madrid, ranked second in La Liga with six wins and a single loss from their first eight games, are favored to challenge Manchester United strongly in Spain.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
