Manchester United vs Roma: Kickoff Time, Venue, Lineups, and How to Follow

Manchester United vs Roma was scheduled for Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at Old Trafford. UEFA’s league-phase schedule uses 21:00 Central European Time (CET, UTC+01:00) as its standard kickoff unless a match is listed differently. Manchester United’s official fixture page lists this game at 20:00 Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+00:00), which is the same instant: 20:00 UTC. At the time of the source check, 20:22 UTC on November 3, the listed kickoff had passed. Official pages reviewed confirmed the venue and starting lineups but did not display a live score in their accessible text, so this guide does not report a result.

Manchester United vs Roma: match details

Why the kickoff appears as both 20:00 and 21:00

UEFA’s published league-phase schedule says kickoffs are 21:00 CET unless a different time is shown. Manchester United lists its Roma game at 20:00 GMT. Those are not different event times: 21:00 CET (UTC+01:00) converts to 20:00 UTC, which is also 20:00 GMT in Manchester.

The date matters for the local conversion. The UK clocks went back on October 25, 2026, so Manchester was on Greenwich Mean Time by November 3. As a result, the local stadium time and UTC time match for this fixture. When checking a replay or following a match from another region, use the event time rather than a broadcast’s pregame start or an article’s publication time.

Confirmed starting lineups

UEFA’s Matchday 4 starting-lineups page lists these teams for the November 3 match:

• Manchester United: Senne Lammens; Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire, Ayden Heaven, Diogo Dalot; Kobbie Mainoo, Carlos Baleba; Bryan Mbeumo, Bruno Fernandes, Amad Diallo; Matheus Cunha.
• Roma: Devis Vásquez; Gianluca Mancini, Leonardo Balerdi, Mario Hermoso; Devyne Rensch, Bryan Cristante, Marten de Roon, Wesley França; Rodrigo Mora, Donyell Malen, Matías Soulé.

These are the confirmed starting teams, not projected formations. Manchester United’s club announcement also notes that Mainoo made his first start after returning from injury, Ayden Heaven was recalled, and Lisandro Martínez was named among the substitutes. Roma’s XI likewise differed from some pre-match expectations, so use the official team sheet for the actual starters rather than relying on an earlier prediction.

Availability and team news

Before kickoff, Manchester United reported that Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu had returned to full training after a hamstring injury but would not feature against Roma. The club also listed Luke Shaw, Manuel Ugarte, Marcus Rashford, and Benjamin Šeško as unavailable or still recovering. Amad Diallo trained with the group and then appeared in the confirmed starting XI. United’s note clarified that Martínez’s suspension applied to the following Premier League match; he was available for this European fixture and was on the bench.

Roma head coach Gian Piero Gasperini told the club before the match that the squad was short in midfield and was missing players including Lorenzo Pellegrini, Paulo Dybala, and Manu Koné. The confirmed starting team shows which players Roma selected, but a pre-match injury or doubt report should not be treated as a substitute for the final team sheet. If you are checking an individual player’s status, compare the coach’s latest comments with the official lineup announcement.

Matchday 4 context and previous meetings

Coming into the fixture, Manchester United had three points from its opening three league-phase games: a 4–0 win over Sabah, a 0–2 loss away to Atlético de Madrid, and a 1–4 loss away to Como. Roma had four points: a 1–1 draw away to Fenerbahçe, a 3–4 home loss to Real Madrid, and a 4–0 win over Slovan Bratislava. Those results explain the standings context, but they do not predict the outcome of a later match.

The clubs had met eight times in UEFA competition before this fixture, with United winning five, Roma winning two, and one match drawn, according to UEFA’s preview. United had won all four previous home games against Roma. The best-known Old Trafford meeting was the 7–1 win in the 2006/07 Champions League quarter-final second leg; the most recent there was a 6–2 United win in the 2020/21 Europa League semifinal first leg. Historical results add context, but the confirmed lineups and live match information are more useful for following this specific game.

How to follow official coverage

Use UEFA’s match page for official fixture information, team sheets, match events, and the final result. Manchester United’s match center and club news provide its own lineup and team updates, while Roma’s site carries the club’s pre-match comments and other official notices. If the live score does not appear immediately on a page, refresh the match center; do not infer a score from a fixture listing.

Broadcast rights depend on the viewer’s country. UEFA’s 2026/27 guide lists partners by territory, and Manchester United’s fixture page includes a “Watch On” listing. Check the broadcaster’s own schedule to confirm whether it carries this match in your location and whether the listing refers to a live stream, a television channel, or highlights.

Current score status

At 20:22 UTC on November 3, 2026 (20:22 GMT in Manchester), the scheduled kickoff time had passed, and UEFA’s official page had published the starting lineups. The official pages reviewed did not expose a live score or a final result in their accessible text at that check. That information gap does not establish whether the match was in progress or finished. Check the UEFA match center for the current status before reporting an outcome.
