Roma is preparing for a magical night at the 'Theatre of Dreams ,' where the Giallorossi hope to give their fans an unforgettable day. Against a devastated Manchester United side , fresh from nine consecutive defeats, the Roman side will attempt a major upset. Gasperini must resolve any remaining doubts regarding the lineup.
The defense seems certain, with the Grugliasco-born coach ready to rely on the more experienced trio of Mancini, Ndicka, and Hermoso ahead of Gollini . The midfield will consist of De Roon and Cristante, while the three-man attack favors the physicality of Pisilli alongside Soulé and Malen . The only doubt concerns the right flank: a three-way race for a spot. Wesley will always play on the left. Here are the probable starting lineups according to the major sports newspapers.
