Manchester United will host AS Roma in a Champions League match on Tuesday, 3 November 2026, at Old Trafford, according to IRNA.
United are entering the game on a nine‑match winless run and will be without Marcus Rashford, the club’s top scorer, who is still sidelined with a hip injury, as reported by IRNA.
Other United injuries include Benjamin Šeško, Luke Shaw, Manuel Ugarte, Patrick Dorgu (hamstring, not fully fit), Amad Diallo (knock, but likely fit), and Lisandro Martínez (available for the match but suspended in domestic league).
The club will likely return Mainoo to midfield; Tielemans will retain his place, and the defensive line is expected to feature Lammens, Yoro, De Ligt, Maguire, and Dalot, per Forza Football’s predicted lineup.
Roma will have to cope without goalkeeper Mile Svilar, who is out until after the international break, and midfielders Manu Koné and Lorenzo Pellegrini, per IRNA’s team news.
Roma are likely to keep a 3–4–2–1 shape with Gollini in goal, defenders Mancini, Ndicka, Hermoso, midfielders Molina, Cristante, De Roon, Wesley, Soulé, and striker Malen, according to the same IRNA preview.
Roma have scored in four of their last five Champions League games, while United secured three points from their opening matches, leaving Roma ahead on points in the group, as stated by IRNA.
Both managers will have to choose around ten alternatives from their injured lists, and United will be especially anxious to break the run of defeats mentioned by IRNA.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 8 p.m. GMT, offering United a chance to improve their European campaign and Roma a shot at consolidating their position in the group, as outlined by the preview.
