AS Roma visit Old Trafford on Tuesday, November 3, for a UEFA Champions League league-phase clash with Manchester United. Michael Carrick’s side will look for a positive result after a poor run of form, while Gian Piero Gasperini’s Roma will look to keep their impressive form going in England.

There have been a couple of positive fitness reports for United ahead of the match, but a number of first-team players are still unavailable. Meanwhile, Roma have to deal with the lack of some key attacking and midfield players.

The kickoff will be at 8 p.m. GMT (3 p.m. ET).

Manchester United Confirmed Team News

Patrick Dorgu has returned to full training after missing the previous match due to a hamstring injury but will not be fit for the match against Roma. Carrick has admitted that the Danish international requires more time before he can return to competitive action.

The manager has also ruled Luke Shaw out for the rest of the week. Marcus Rashford is still a question mark, and his recovery is being monitored on a day-to-day basis.

Benjamin Sesko and Manuel Ugarte are also injured. The good news is that Leny Yoro is available after suffering from a tendon problem. Lisandro Martinez is also in the mix, as his suspension from the Chelsea match is for the Premier League and not the European competition.

Donyell Malen is expected to be the main attacker, while Matias Soule and Bryan Cristante will be in advanced roles.
