Roy Keane Gives Verdict on Kobbie Mainoo’s Future at Manchester United
These are the Manchester United vs Roma confirmed lineup for their UEFA Champions League tie. We will be discussing the latest team news for both sides to determine who could miss out and why. Michael Carrick will be desperate for a win after another crushing defeat at the weekend but his players look largely incapable of stringing together a good 90 minutes. They come up against a very strong team who are third in Serie A and can score for fun despite some injury issues.

Manchester United vs Roma Injuries & Suspensions
Manchester United Team News
While the manager did welcome back some names like Kobbie Mainoo at the weekend, there are still absences impacting his selection, particularly in the back line. According to PremierInjuries, the team will be without Manuel Ugarte, Benjamin Sesko, Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford, and Patrick Dorgu. Whatever you think of those names individually, the lack of depth has been harmful when the coach is juggling multiple competitions. A hard-fought match with Chelsea at the weekend is being followed up swiftly by this tie with Roma and a lot of the players will have to play significant minutes again.
Particularly, the problem with Shaw and Dorgu limits the left-back options pretty heavily while Sesko leaves the squad without a recognised senior striker other than Joshua Zirkzee. Lisandro Martinez is dealing with a red card but he will only be banned for league play rather than this competition.
AS Roma Team News
Gian Gasperini has the Italian side firing despite dealing with some injuries of his own. Manu Kone has been limited in his appearances due to an issue, as has Paulo Dybala, who hasn’t featured since mid-October.
In a more positive spin for the coach, Italian media is reporting that he will have Emanuele Lulli and Gianluca Mancini back available for this one. Dybala and Kone are not expected to start for Serie A team in their trip to Old Trafford.

The Last Word
While Carrick needs results and soon, it is unlikely to come here, the opposition are a very good team who are free-flowing as the leading goalscorers in Italy’s top division with 28 goals from 10 games. They aren’t quite as strong in European play so far but they pushed Real Madrid to the brink in this competition and walked through Slovan Bratislava. This will be another cold end-of-year night for the Red Devils who will most likely be staring down a defeat.
