UEFA Europa League 2021 : Semi-Finals Second Leg – Roma vs Manchester United. The Premier League club Manchester United are looking forward to play against Italian club AS Roma on Friday night in Europa League Semi Finals. Stay tuned for Roma vs Manchester United Squad Updates and Probable Lineups.
AS Roma vs Manchester United – Confirmed Starting Lineups
AS Roma Starting XI: Mirante, Karsdorp, Smalling, Ibanez, Bruno Peres, Cristante, Mancini, Pedro, Pellegrini, Mkhitaryan, Dzeko.

In the first leg of their encounter, Manchester United came from behind to destroy Roma and effectively thrashed them with the final score of 6-2.
Although the final score of 6-2 was not enough to out shine the United’s infamous 7-1 Champions League thrashing of the same opponents back in 2007 – a game in which current boss Ole Gunnar was a substitute. Anyways, the margin of victory was as impressive as their second-half display.
Europa League : Roma vs Manchester United Match Preview-Match Details-Team News
With a four-goal deficit to make up, it will be very difficult for AS Roma to make a comeback. Although it is definitely not impossible, as they have done this type of task before. In 2018, they defeated Barcelona in a shocking match of UEFA Champions League. So they will be looking to repeat that performance against Manchester United and might overturn the result.
Important News
It was a difficult week for both the teams with some shocking decisions taking place.
The match between Manchester United and Liverpool at Old Trafford was postponed due to fan protests in the stadium. The match will now be played on May 13. The game was postponed after hundreds of fans broke into Old Trafford in protest at the club’s owners the Glazer family. The protestors were angry at the Glazers’ involvement in the European Super League plan. The crowd damaged the Old Trafford pitch and set off flares, while police were peppered with missiles outside the stadium.
AS Roma has announced that Jose Mourinho will take over as manager of Roma next season. Mourinho was sacked by English side Tottenham in April after 17 months and has not spent more than two and a half seasons in a job since leaving Real Madrid in 2013. He will be having a three-year contract at Roma.
