From the source

Old Trafford is the venue as Manchester United and Roma go head-to-head in a heavyweight UEFA Champions League showdown. Tuesday’s encounter could determine Michael Carrick’s future in Manchester amid United’s worst run of form since the late 1980s.

Despite a decent first-half performance, Manchester United fell to a 2-0 home loss to Chelsea on Saturday and are now level on points with 18th-placed Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

Furthermore, the Red Devils are enduring a dreadful nine-game winless streak in all competitions (D3, L6), their worst run since 1988. Carrick’s position in the dugout is naturally under scrutiny ahead of this must-win clash against Roma.
