Dorgu Returns as United Remain without Rashford and Shaw
On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, Manchester United hosts Roma at Old Trafford in a Champions League fixture as manager Michael Carrick seeks to end a nine-game winless run. The club currently sits 17th in the Premier League.
The club's nine-game winless run, their longest since 1988, has intensified pressure on Carrick ahead of this crucial European tie. Following defeats to Como and Bournemouth, the board will assess the manager's position during the upcoming international break.
After a month-long hamstring absence, Patrick Dorgu returned to training Monday and was described as fit again by the club. Carrick stated, "It was his first day with the group, great to have him back, but he won't be involved tomorrow."
Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw missed training Monday and will be absent from the Roma fixture, leaving Carrick short of attacking and defensive options. Carrick said, "Luke definitely won't be around this week."
Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini warned against complacency despite United's poor results, stating, "We can't get distracted and too hung up on that situation." His side arrives at Old Trafford in confident form.
The Giallorossi come to this round in 15th place, with 4 points, a win, a draw and a defeat, and a net difference of +3. Success came in the last round, with 4-0 at Slovan Bratislava
