Manchester United host Roma at Old Trafford tonight in a Champions League match that is widely seen as a must-win for manager Michael Carrick, with his side aiming to avoid stretching their winless run to ten games.
The Reds have lost their last two Champions League games after opening their European campaign with a 4-0 victory over Sabah. A defeat tonight would leave Carrick's position under even greater scrutiny, with the November international break approaching.
Team News and Key Absences
United will be without Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw, Patrick Dorgu, Manuel Ugarte and Benjamin Sesko for the clash. Kobbie Mainoo, who made his return from injury against Chelsea, looks set to start after flanking Carrick at his pre-match press conference on Monday.
Roma arrive at Old Trafford as the top scorers in Serie A and unbeaten in the league this season. They beat Slovan Bratislava 4-0 in their last European outing and were narrowly beaten 4-3 by Real Madrid in the game before that.
How to Watch and Match Odds
Tonight's game will be available to watch on Amazon Prime Video, with kick-off scheduled for 8pm. Bet365 lists Manchester United at 23/20, the draw at 31/10, and Roma at 29/10.
United desperately need a win to avoid going a tenth game without a victory, with Carrick aware that he is in a fight to save his job.
