Carrick: Roma is a very good team, a big match for United

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick said Roma are a very good team. Carrick stated that tonight's Champions League match is a big night for his side. Noting that Roma have made a strong start to the season, Carrick stressed that they want to get the better of difficult opponents.

Lenny Yoro is ready to return to the squad after serving his suspension from the Como match. Benjamin Sesko, Patrick Dorgu, Marcus Rashford, Manuel Ugarte and Luke Shaw are not yet available to play.

Lisandro Martinez, who was sent off in the Chelsea match, will be on the bench tonight. Kobbie Mainoo, back from injury, will start in the starting eleven tonight after coming on as a substitute at the weekend. Mainoo will form a new midfield partnership with Carlos Baleba.

Carrick recalled that Andrey Santos and Carlos Baleba have played together recently and said he believes the two players can complement each other. Manchester United have not won in any competition since beating Sabah FK 4-0 on 10 September. In that period they have drawn three and lost six. Having lost 4-1 away at Como, the team is in serious form trouble. Roma, meanwhile, have lost only one match this season, against Real Madrid, when they lost 4-3 in the 82nd minute after leading 3-1.
