Manchester United v Roma: Preview, expected line-ups, stats and where to watch

Manchester United host Italian side Roma at Old Trafford on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, in the UEFA Champions League league stage. Under-fire manager Michael Carrick faces mounting pressure as United seek to rebound from a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea and poor recent form, having lost four of their last five matches across all competitions. United sit 21st in the Champions League standings heading into the fixture.

Roma enter the clash in strong form under Gian Piero Gasperini, remaining unbeaten in Serie A and relying on striker Donyell Malen. United will be without Luke Shaw, Manuel Ugarte, and Benjamin Šeško, while Marcus Rashford remains doubtful. For the visitors, goalkeeper Mile Svilar and forward Paulo Dybala are uncertain to feature, though Roma seek their first-ever victory at Old Trafford.
