Michael Carrick's tenure as Manchester United manager is hanging by a thread despite reports of the Old Trafford faithful backing the former player. His out-of-sorts Manchester United side will host AS Roma, who are in magnificent goal-scoring form.
The Reds are on a three-game losing streak and have made their worst start to a domestic season. That phrase appears to be a recurring theme with the Red Devils. Manchester United are also on a winless run of nine matches in all competitions, with their last win taking place against FK Sabah in the Champions League.
The home side showed promise inside the opening 45 minutes against Chelsea but self-destructed following a Morgan Rogers solo effort and a Cole Palmer penalty. The penalty incident resulted in a red card for Lisandro Martinez, who has drawn criticism for his comments directed at the hierarchy at Manchester United.
After the win against FK Sabah, the Red Devils have lost their last two European fixtures against Atletico Madrid (2-0) and Como (4-1), meaning they desperately need a win on Tuesday no matter the circumstances.
On the other hand, AS Roma head into this game on a five-match unbeaten streak in all competitions. Domestically, AS Roma are the only side (alongside Lazio) that are unbeaten in Serie A, with seven wins and three draws from ten league games.
AS Roma have scored at least three goals in five of their last six matches in all competitions and will likely continue that streak against Manchester United who have not kept a clean sheet in seven matches.
Manchester United won't be a match for AS Roma in this fixture given the form of the two teams and Gian Piero Gasperini's side will be confident in a result tomorrow night.
Man United 1-3 AS Roma
