Story summary

As of November 2, 2026, Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick is under pressure following a nine-game winless streak. The club's performance has worsened with their only Premier League victory coming against Ipswich Town on August 31 by a score of 5-2. Carrick addressed the media ahead of their Champions League match against Roma, expressing optimism despite the criticism and speculation about his position at the helm. Patrick Dorgu, who recently returned to training after an injury, will not participate in Tuesday's game but is expected to be available for future matches. Luke Shaw remains sidelined due to a muscle injury, further complicating Carrick’s options for the Roma clash.

🔮 As for Shaw and Rashford, neither of the England internationals will feature against Roma, with neither out training with their team-mates.

🔮 However, the Dane will not play any part as United return to continental competition tomorrow.
🔮 The Dane had been sidelined with a hamstring problem that he picked up on international duty in September, but his comeback will be hugely welcomed amid United’s lack of senior left-back options.
🔮 His return will be a welcome lift for the club, who are looking to end a nine-game winless run that stretches back to the end of August, when they defeated Ipswich Town 5-2 at Old Trafford in their only Premier League victory of the campaign.
🔮 A multitude of hypothetical punishments have been thrown around my commentators, pundits and fans alike, while City remain entangled in a lengthy appeals process. Should the club be relegated or be issued a huge points deduction, many believe that the club’s stars will likely depart, including their star No9.
🔮 Most thought that their under-fire head coach would be relieved of his duties after the Bournemouth demolition, with the former midfielder seemingly waving goodbye to the Old Trafford faithful as he made his way off the pitch.
🔮 Madueke started off the right flank for Arsenal following Bukayo Saka’s thigh injury that will keep his compatriot out for a number of weeks, after he picked up the problem in the Champions League trip to Bayern Munich.
🔮 He picked up a knock at Old Trafford which was thought to not be serious, with De Zerbi saying that he would be out for a fortnight.
