Overview
- Manchester United will play AS Roma at Old Trafford on Tuesday, November 3, in Matchday 4 of the UEFA Champions League.
- Michael Carrick enters the game under heavy pressure after a nine-match winless run and a public board decision to assess his role around the November international break.
- Benjamin Sesko has been ruled out into 2027 with a long-term injury and United also lack regular options at left-back and in midfield, with Luke Shaw, Patrick Dorgu and Manuel Ugarte sidelined and Marcus Rashford doubtful.
- Lisandro Martínez is available for European matches despite a domestic suspension, and previews predict a makeshift attack with Bryan Mbeumo leading the line in a 4-2-3-1 while fitness checks decide final selection.
- Roma arrive in strong, high-scoring form under Gian Piero Gasperini and a United win would move them to six points and above Roma in the group while a defeat would leave them on three points and intensify pressure on the manager.
