Man Utd U19s vs Roma LIVE: UEFA Youth League updates

Manchester United's Under-19s face Roma in the UEFA Youth League on Tuesday afternoon, with the young Reds needing a win to keep their hopes of progressing alive.

The match takes place at Leigh Sports Village, and United's U19s can no longer afford to drop points in their final three group games after losing two and winning one so far.

Must-win clash after Como defeat

United's U19s were beaten 2-1 by Como in their last Youth League match in Italy last month. The result was disappointing but not fatal to their chances of progressing, though the team now has no margin for error.

Following today's fixture, the young Reds will play Sporting Lisbon away and RB Leipzig at home. They will not face Bayern Munich or Villarreal, as the first team will in January.

Team news and live coverage

Manchester United writer Steven Railston is providing live updates from the game, including build-up, team news and match action throughout the 90 minutes.

Kick-off is scheduled for 12:00 GMT, with coverage running from the start of the match at Leigh Sports Village.
