The full picture
Roma is facing difficulties due to injuries, with players like Lorenzo Pellegrini, Paulo Dybala, and Manu Koné out, prompting Gian Piero Gasperini to adapt his lineup. The team has relied on players like Martin de Roon, who has performed well. Gasperini expressed hope that the situation is just a phase and that the injured players will return after the international break. The current squad has 17 ready players.
The probable formation for Roma against Manchester United is expected to be 3-4-2-1, with Gianluca Mancini returning to the XI after being rested. The likely lineup includes Gollini, Mancini, Ndicka, Hermoso, Molina, Cristante, de Roon, Wesley, Soulé, Pisilli, and Malen. There is some debate around the starting lineup, particularly for the right wing back position and Niccolò Pisilli or Rodrigo Mora starting with Matías Soulé.
Gasperini praised the versatility of his players, mentioning that besides Lulli, Wesley, Nahuel Molina, and Devyne Rensch are capable of starting at right wing back. The decision may come down to the veteran World Cup winner or Lulli, who has excelled. The coach highlighted the challenges of the right wing back position, requiring players to cover the length of the pitch and use bursts of pace.

Source context
“We’re missing players like [Lorenzo] Pellegrini, [Paulo] Dybala and [Manu] Koné in similar areas, so we’re trying to adapt. We have [Santiago] Castro as an alternative to [Donyell] Malen but in midfield we’re short. Hopefully it’s just a phase. We’ve spent the last seven games on a knife edge but we’ve always had players who were ready and able to recover quickly. The 17 players we have are all ready. Hopefully we’ll get the others back after the international break, but in the meantime this is a tough week.”
