[UCL Preview] Bae Su-jin and Carrick's Manchester United vs. Gasperini's Roma without Dybala and Pellegrini
Manchester United aims to stabilize midfield and defense with Maino and Martinez
Manchester United, led by coach Michael Carrick, recently suffered consecutive defeats in away matches against Atletico Madrid and Como, and has been struggling to bounce back in the Champions League rankings. Benjamin Seszko's long-term injury, Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw and Manuel Ugarte remain out, but there is also positive news. Kobe Mainu, the key to midfield coordination, has returned, Lisandro Martinez, who was unrelated to his domestic league ban, Leni Yoro, who has completed his suspension from the European stage, and Ahmad Diallo, who has shaken off a minor bruise, are expected to be used along with Matthijs de Ligt and Joshua Zirkzy.
Roma predicted Gasperini's signature pressure football despite the absence of key players
AS Roma, which has been racing to the top of Serie A with dynamic attacking football since the appointment of coach Gian Piero Gasperini, suffered an unexpected power leak ahead of the away trip to Manchester. As Paulo Dybala, who is responsible for the creativity of the attack, captain Lorenzo Pellegrini, and midfield engine Manu Kone were all excluded from the list due to injury, youth resources were called in to form the squad, and depending on the condition of starting goalkeeper Mille Svilar, the possibility of Pierluigi Gollini playing is also being discussed. However, Coach Gasperini said he would not let down his guard due to Manchester United's recent slump and predicted an attack on Old Trafford with strong forward pressure and quick side transitions.
