Manchester United's Champions League clash with Roma was briefly held up when fans threw tennis balls onto the Old Trafford pitch on Tuesday in protest at the Glazer ownership. Michael Carrick's side trail 2-0 at half-time after Matias Soule and Donyell Malen struck inside 17 minutes, leaving Alan Shearer to brand their first-half display "embarrassing".

Roma will be without Pierluigi Gollini for tonight's Champions League clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford after the goalkeeper failed a late fitness test on a back injury. With first-choice Mile Svilar already sidelined, Gian Piero Gasperini must now hand a season debut to a third-choice keeper against a United side who are under huge pressure.

Manchester United are reportedly considering a sensational mid-season move for Manchester City left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri as they look to address a glaring lack of depth in their defensive ranks. The Algerian international has found regular minutes hard to come by under both Pep Guardiola and Enzo Maresca at the Etihad Stadium, potentially paving the way for a rare direct transfer between the two local rivals.

Kobbie Mainoo has urged Manchester United to show self-belief when they welcome an in-form Roma to Old Trafford on Tuesday night. The Red Devils find themselves mired in a grim nine-match winless streak across all competitions, but the 19-year-old midfielder is adamant that a single marquee European victory can ignite their stuttering campaign.
