The latest talk of the next United manager centres around Unai Emery, who has now been backed into 7/2 in places. Eddie Howe (4/6) remains in pole position for the job, according to UK betting sites.The latest reversal for United came at Stamford Bridge, with Carrick’s side rolling over to a 2-0 defeat. Lisandro Martinez was sent off to add insult to injury. On a more positive note, in the Red Devils’ only home game in the Champions League this season, they turned over Sabah 4-0.Roma have had contrasting fortunes to United to begin the season. The Italian side are third and unbeaten in Serie A having won seven and drawn three, averaging 2.8 goals per game. They come to Old Trafford off the back of a 5-2 away win against Udinese at the weekend. Confidence is high amongst the Italian side, despite taking only four points from a possible nine in Europe.Read MoreMan Utd vs Roma oddsCompare the best Man Utd vs Roma odds for tonight’s Champions League encounter.
