United must end winless run against Roma with Carrick dropping Martinez and starting Mainoo

Manchester United vs Roma went from a routine Champions League tie to a must-win for manager Michael Carrick on Tuesday, November 3, with the Red Devils trying to snap a nine-match winless run and find their first win in 10. United are hosting AS Roma at Old Trafford in their fourth league-phase contest of the 2026-27 UEFA Champions League season, with kickoff set for 8pm GMT in the UK, 3pm ET and 12pm PT in North America, according to CNET’s viewing guide.

Carrick’s edge with a winless run at Old Trafford

The pressure on Carrick is the sharpest detail in the build-up. The New York Times live updates describe United as chasing their first win in 10 and put them on a nine-match winless run, then add that Carrick is under serious pressure. NBC Sports frames the same arithmetic bluntly: United, and Carrick in particular, desperately need a win in the Champions League on Tuesday. Sky Sports showed Lisandro Martinez warming up before Manchester United’s UEFA Champions League 2026/27 League Phase MD4 match against AS Roma at Old Trafford on November 3. The Manchester Evening News says the pressure continues to build on Carrick and calls Roma a must-win game.

Lineup change: Martinez dropped, Mainoo starts

The clearest team news in the pre-match coverage is a defender’s omission and a home-grown player’s recall. Manchester Evening News reports Martinez dropped and Mainoo starts, in a lineup change for the Champions League match. The Sky Sports header also points to Champions League lineups and match updates from Old Trafford, while Khel Now says Manchester United and AS Roma have confirmed starting lineups for the 2026-27 Champions League clash. The People’s Person says United face Roma in the Champions League with key lineup changes and pressure mounting on Carrick. No other selection detail is stated in the summaries available.

When and where to watch the Old Trafford tie

Old Trafford is the venue, Tuesday is the date, and the multinational listings separate TV, kickoff and streaming information by country. CNET gives the UK/Europe start at 8pm GMT and translates it to 3pm ET or 12pm PT in the US and Canada for live streaming. ESPN India’s pre-match report carries the TV channel, how to watch in the UK, kickoff time, live stream, team news, referee and predicted line-ups. TVWise carries how to watch and stream the match on TV that evening. Yahoo Sports and NDTV Profit both carry time and how-to-watch details, with NDTV Profit pointing Indian viewers to the live telecast and streaming details for the Champions League league-phase clash at Old Trafford.

What the live coverage is carrying

The match threads are built for real-time reading rather than preview essays.

The Guardian’s live blog covers Manchester United v Roma in the Champions League. The New York Times is carrying live updates with the latest score and goal alerts, starting from Carrick’s winless run and the need to beat Roma. NBC Sports is separately running live updates with the latest score, goals and highlights. Manchester Evening News and Sky Sports are both publishing live coverage with lineups, match updates, news, score and analysis. Some of the top search results for the tie are streaming links of the type آرسنال live online pages, not match reports, so the factual scoreboard comes from the club and broadcaster coverage listed above.
