Form

Their most recent outing was a goalless draw at Roma in Serie A, a result that followed their only defeat in this period, a 2-0 loss to Frosinone. The highlight of their recent form came in the Champions League, where they beat RB Leipzig 4-1, and they also recorded a 2-1 win over Parma in Serie A. However, their most recent Champions League result was a 3-2 defeat to Feyenoord, which complicates their standing in the group.
Manchester United have struggled badly for consistency, winning none of their last five matches — a run that includes three defeats. Their most recent game was a 2-0 loss to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. They also drew 1-1 with both Tottenham and Fulham in the Premier League, and suffered a 2-3 Carabao Cup defeat to Brighton, as well as a 0-1 loss to Manchester City. United have scored just three goals and conceded six across those five matches, a record that underlines the scale of the challenge facing Carrick.
