Man Utd host Roma at Old Trafford on Tuesday 3 November 2026 (kick-off 20:00 UK time) in League phase matchday 4 of the Champions League. Neither side has made a convincing start.
Where they stand
Roma are 15th in the league-phase table with four points from three games. They have won one and have a goal difference of +3.
Man Utd are 21st with three points from three. They have also won one, but their goal difference is -1.
The top eight go straight into the last 16. Teams from ninth to 24th go into the knockout play-offs. Both clubs are currently in that group. PSG lead the table with nine points from three wins and a goal difference of +9.
Form
United's recent results are mixed. They beat Sabah 4-0 at home, then lost 2-0 at Atlético Madrid and 4-1 at Como.
Roma drew 1-1 at Fenerbahçe in their latest game. Before that they lost 4-3 at home to Real Madrid, and they began the sequence with a 4-0 win over Slovan Bratislava.
The numbers that matter
Roma score more and concede fewer. They average 2.67 goals per game and let in 1.67. United average 1.67 scored and 2.00 conceded.
That gap shows in the points-per-game figures: Roma have 1.33, United 1.00.
- Clean sheets: one each
- Yellow cards: five each
United's defence has to improve. They have conceded more often than not in recent weeks, and Roma have scored in each of their listed games.
Head-to-head
The recent meetings are two games from 2021, with one win each. Man Utd won 6-2 at Old Trafford on 29 April 2021. Roma won the return 3-2 on 6 May 2021.
Across those two games United scored eight goals and Roma five.
