Manchester United and Roma will meet for the first time outside of the Champions League when they kick off their 2020-21 UEFA Europa League semifinal, with the first leg at Old Trafford on Thursday.
The teams have faced off six times previously, with United winning four of those contests (with one draw and one Roma victory). The Red Devils will be favoured to continue that trend into a new competition, as they've shown far superior form in their domestic league (United's second in the Premier League while Roma's a distant seventh place in Serie A).
Recent results also bear out in favour of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, with United unbeaten in Premier League and Europa League play since late January. Meanwhile, the Giallorossi have won just one Serie A match since March 7, with their round of 16 and quarterfinal Europa League victories providing the only sense of hope in an otherwise lost season.
Of course, a two-legged win over the famed Manchester United could go a long way toward salvaging Roma's campaign. The numbers, however, are not on their side.
