Manchester United - Roma

Manchester United face a critical test of character as they look to arrest a difficult run of form at Old Trafford on 3 November 2026. This Champions League matchday 4 encounter arrives at a challenging moment for the hosts, who are coming off a disappointing defeat against Chelsea and must navigate the absence of Marcus Rashford, Amad Diallo, and Luke Shaw. The expected XI, featuring Bruno Fernandes and Matheus Cunha, will need to find immediate rhythm to overcome a visiting side currently riding a wave of attacking momentum.

Roma arrive in England in high spirits after putting five goals past Udinese in their most recent outing. While they must cope without the injured Paulo Dybala, Manu Kone, and Mile Svilar, their recent Champions League victory over Slovan Bratislava highlights their offensive threat. The two clubs share a history of high-scoring European contests, most notably their two-legged tie in April and May 2021, where the aggregate score finished 8-5 in favour of the English side.
