Manchester United have gone nine matches without a victory in all competitions, and the Champions League match against AS Roma at Old Trafford on Wednesday offers no easy escape — the visitors arrive in far sharper form, with four wins in their last five games and a 4-0 Champions League victory of their own, Goal.com reported.
The match is scheduled for 8 p.m. GMT on Nov. 3, 2026 — 3 a.m. WIB on Nov. 4 in Indonesia — at Old Trafford in Manchester, according to Vidio. In Indonesia, the Champions League matchweek four fixture can be watched via live streaming on Vidio, the outlet reported, while Goal.com listed DAZN as the broadcaster carrying the game.
Two Teams Traveling in Opposite Directions
The contrast in recent results is stark. Over their last five competitive matches, Manchester United have recorded one draw and four defeats, scoring three goals and conceding 12, Goal.com reported. That run includes a 2-0 loss at Chelsea, a 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth, a 4-1 Champions League loss to Como and a 2-0 Champions League defeat to Atlético Madrid.
Roma, by comparison, have won four and drawn one of their last five, scoring 16 and conceding eight over that stretch, Goal.com reported. The Italian side beat Udinese 5-2 and Cagliari 4-2 in Serie A and thrashed Slovan Bratislava 4-0 in the Champions League.
Media Indonesia noted the league standings behind the form: Manchester United sit 17th in the Premier League with seven points from nine matches, and 21st in the Champions League after losing to Atlético Madrid and Como. Roma, meanwhile, come off a 5-2 win over Udinese on Oct. 31, Vidio reported.
Michael Carrick’s Last Chance Before the International Break
Michael Carrick remains in charge of Manchester United despite the nine-match winless run, and Kompas.id reported that the club has given him until the international break to turn things around — meaning the Roma match and the following game against Aston Villa are effectively his final chances. According to Kompas.id, club officials have already changed managers twice in the past two years without solving the underlying problems, and The Athletic journalist David Ornstein reported that they do not intend to sack another manager.
Midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, speaking alongside Carrick at a news conference, said the players’ way of responding to the support for the manager is to back him and fight as a team, Kompas.id reported. Carrick said he did not doubt the players’ commitment to the club and to each other.
Kompas.id cautioned that a managerial change remains an option if the crisis continues, and that the identity of a potential replacement also plays a role in the decision.
Old Trafford History Favors the Hosts — but Not Necessarily This One
The two clubs have a long European history. They met in the Champions League quarterfinals in 2006-07 and 2007-08, and their most memorable meeting came in April 2007, when Manchester United beat Roma 7-1 at Old Trafford, Vidio reported. They also faced each other in the 2020-21 Europa League semifinal, which Manchester United won 8-5 on aggregate.
CNN Indonesia noted that Manchester United hold a strong record against Roma at Old Trafford — winning all four home meetings with the Giallorossi — but several of its writers argued that record may not hold given United’s current state. Predictions published by CNN Indonesia varied: one forecast a 2-1 Roma win, another a Manchester United victory, and another a 3-0 win for the visitors.
What Is at Stake in Matchweek Four
For Manchester United, a win is needed to stop the negative trend and improve their position in the Champions League phase, Vidio reported. For Roma, managed by Gian Piero Gasperini, the trip to Manchester is a chance to extend their positive run and take points from an away ground.
Manchester United’s last competitive win came against Sabah in September, Media Indonesia reported, and the club has lost three in a row, including the 2-0 defeat to Chelsea on Oct. 31. Carrick acknowledged the pressure, saying his team must keep moving forward by winning matches, Media Indonesia reported.
Questions Fans Are Asking About the Match
