Michael Carrick is eager for Manchester United's Champions League match against Roma, despite the team's current struggles. The match at Old Trafford presents an opportunity to turn around a disappointing run.

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick is preparing for a pivotal Champions League encounter against AS Roma at Old Trafford. Despite the team's ongoing struggles, Carrick expressed optimism about the match.

United enters this game without a victory in their last nine matches across all competitions, marking their worst run since the 1988-89 season. With a current standing of 17th in the Premier League, and having suffered defeats to Atletico Madrid and Como, the team finds itself 21st in the Champions League group stage, facing a challenging path ahead.

Carrick acknowledges the pressure but remains excited about the opportunity to change the narrative of the season.

He noted that despite the team's situation, he believes in the players' commitment and ability to perform better.

Kobbie Mainoo, a young midfielder, highlighted the importance of unity and resilience within the squad as they aim for a much-needed win.

The match against Roma comes after the Italian side's only defeat this season, which was a close 3-2 loss to Real Madrid.

With the international break approaching, there are concerns regarding Carrick's future if results do not improve.

The match against Roma is set to be a critical moment for Manchester United as they look to secure their first win in ten attempts and regain some momentum before the international break.
