According to a report by Flashscore on Tuesday November 3, 2026, Manchester United endured a disappointing first-half performance against AS Roma in their Champions League encounter, conceding twice and struggling to contain the visitors' attacking threat before heading into the dressing room trailing 2-0.

Five worst Manchester United players in the first half

1. Ayden Heaven

Heaven was responsible for United's second major setback after handling the ball inside the penalty area in the 16th minute. His mistake resulted in a penalty, which Donyell Malen converted to give Roma a 2-0 lead.

2. Bruno Fernandes

Fernandes struggled to provide the necessary attacking influence despite attempting several forward passes. He received a yellow card in the 20th minute, saw his free-kick hit the defensive wall and wasted another opportunity by firing over the crossbar.

3. Bryan Mbeumo

Mbeumo failed to make a meaningful difference in United's attacking department. His individual run in the 34th minute ended unsuccessfully after a Roma defender blocked his attempt, preventing him from creating a dangerous opportunity.

4. Matheus Cunha

Cunha struggled to produce the attacking quality required to trouble Roma's defence. His effort from outside the penalty area in the 24th minute was blocked, while his earlier involvement with Fernandes failed to produce a meaningful opportunity.

5. Amad Diallo

Diallo struggled to make his attacking contributions count during the opening half. His attempted through ball in the fifth minute was intercepted, while another delivery into the penalty area three minutes earlier also failed to find its intended target.
