Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini says his team will not be distracted by Manchester United’s struggles ahead of their Champions League clash. Multiple outlets report he frames the match as one Roma must approach as if United were at full strength, despite United’s winless Premier League run.
The coverage links Roma’s confidence to their strong start in Serie A, where Gasperini’s side are described as high-scoring and already well placed in the standings. Metro also adds context that United sit low in the league table and that United’s Champions League points have come against Sabah, while Roma carry a narrow points edge in the group.
Across outlets, there is also agreement on a squad-related angle: Gasperini points to a midfield shortage for Roma, even as he maintains that both teams are capable and that United remain a “strong team” with high-quality players.
