Michael Carrick makes changes to Manchester United's lineup vs. Roma
Summary

Michael Carrick has dropped Lisandro Martinez from Manchester United's starting lineup for the Champions League match against Roma at Old Trafford. Following a red card and penalty conceded in Saturday's Premier League defeat to Chelsea, Martinez is replaced by Ayden Heaven. Additionally, Kobbie Mainoo has been brought into midfield. United has not won a match since a 4-0 victory against Sabah in September and is seeking to end a nine-match winless streak.
