Manchester United vs. Roma: team news and expert analysis
The Manchester giants were forced to turn to Carrick last season after sacking Ruben Amorim, and he guided his new charges to third place. However, they made a disastrous start to the new football year, including a home defeat in the League Cup. Under Gian Piero Gasperini, the Romans finally found their stride and finished third in Serie A in 2025/2026. They began the new season with wins but slowed down in the autumn.
At least in the Champions League, the English side managed to win — and in some style: 4-0! However, that victory came at home against debutants Sabah. They then travelled to Madrid and lost 0-2 to Atlético. Against Como, it was a complete collapse: they suffered a heavy defeat.
The Italians endured a difficult start. First, they drew 1-1 away to Fenerbahçe in Istanbul. Then, despite leading Real Madrid 3-1 at home, they somehow ended up losing the game. They finally let off steam against Slovan Bratislava, securing their first win — and doing so by a 4-0 scoreline.
