2026-2027 Champions League: Como vs. Manchester United—Probable Lineups

Como and Manchester United face off at 6:45 p.m. in a match for Matchday 3 of the Champions League group stage. It’s a prestigious matchup for the Lariani, who need to bounce back after last week’s loss to Feyenoord. In the league, however, Fabregas’s team has already gotten back on track, defeating Fiorentina last Sunday.

Carrick’s men are at a decisive turning point in the season: United hasn’t won in six games and has fallen apart in the Premier League. The coach’s job is on the line, and they also suffered a loss in their most recent Champions League match against Atlético Madrid: a loss in Italy could cost him his job.

Douvikas will start as center forward for Como, which will be without the injured Diao, Jesús Rodríguez, and Kean. The attacking midfield trio consists of Liberali, Nico Paz, and Baturina, with Da Cunha partnering Perrone in the center of the field.

For the Red Devils, De Ligt is expected to start in defense. Up front, Mbeumo will be supported by Diallo, Bruno Fernandes, and Cunha. In midfield, Baleba partners with Santos.
