What is the current form of both teams?
The statistical contrast between the two clubs is stark. Manchester United arrives in Manchester struggling for consistency. goal.com reports that the club has secured no wins in their last five competitive matches, recording one draw and four defeats during that stretch. This slump has seen the defense concede twelve goals while the attack has managed only three. Their recent Champions League outings include a 1:4 loss to Como and a 0:2 defeat against Atletico de Madrid.
AS Roma, conversely, enters the match as one of the high flyers in Serie A. Under the management of Gian Piero Gasperini, the “Giallorossi” currently sit in third place in the Italian top flight. They have lost only one game all season, a 4-3 Champions League defeat to Real Madrid where they held the lead for much of the match. Domestically, Roma recently secured a 5-2 win over Udinese, with Donyell Malen contributing to the scoreline.
| Metric (Last 5 Matches) | Manchester United | AS Roma |
|---|---|---|
| Wins | 0 | 4 |
| Draws | 1 | 1 |
| Losses | 4 | 0 |
| Goals Scored | 3 | 16 |
Who is available for the starting lineups?
Squad availability remains a primary concern for both managers heading into Monday’s updates. For Manchester United, Kobbie Mainoo has returned to action as a substitute following his appearance against Chelsea. While Amad was withdrawn during the Chelsea match due to a potential knock, he was seen at training. Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu is also expected to participate as he works toward proving his fitness.
Defensive stability for United is complicated by the absence of Lisandro Martinez, who is serving a one-match ban following a red card received on Saturday. However, Martinez will be available for subsequent fixtures after sitting out the upcoming game against Aston Villa.
Roma faces its own selection dilemmas. Paulo Dybala is considered a doubt for the visitors, and France midfielder Manu Kone is also expected to be sidelined. If goalkeeper Mile Svilar is unable to start, former Red Pierluigi Gollini is positioned to take over in goal.
What is the historical context of this rivalry?
While United seeks to break their recent slump, they can look to historical precedent for inspiration. The most recent significant meeting between these two sides occurred in the May 2021 Europa League semi-finals. Although Roma won that specific encounter 3-2—with Edinson Cavani scoring twice for United—the English side ultimately progressed to the final by winning 8-5 on aggregate.
That aggregate victory was fueled by a dominant 6-2 first-leg performance at Old Trafford, where both Bruno Fernandes and Cavani recorded braces. However, that historic night was played behind closed doors due to Covid-19 restrictions, meaning the atmosphere for this 2026 clash will be vastly different.
A possible starting lineup for Manchester United in a 4-2-3-1 formation includes Lammens in goal, with a defensive line of Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, and Mazraoui. The midfield is expected to feature Mainoo and Santos, supporting Fernandes, Tielemans, and Mount, with Mbeumo leading the attack.
The match begins tonight at 20:00 GMT (3:00 p.m. ET).
