Head-to-Head: Manchester United vs AS Roma

Manchester United and AS Roma bring a split result into a European head-to-head whose scorelines point in different directions. United won 6-2 at Old Trafford on 29 April 2021, but Roma answered with a 3-2 home victory on 6 May in the Europa League semi-final. United therefore hold the stronger aggregate outcome, while Roma’s return-leg response prevents the pairing from being reduced to a one-sided exchange.

Stats for this game

Matchup Manchester United VS AS Roma

United’s decisive home margin

The 2021 Europa League semi-final gave Manchester United the defining result. At Old Trafford on 29 April, United beat AS Roma 6-2, creating a four-goal margin that shaped the tie and placed the English side in a commanding position. The scoreline remains the clearest sign that this fixture can open dramatically when one team establishes separation early.

Roma answer in the return

AS Roma supplied a meaningful counterpoint at Stadio Olimpico on 6 May, winning 3-2. That result gave Roma the individual match while Manchester United retained the stronger aggregate outcome, 8-5 across the semi-final. The split victories make the profile more nuanced than the opening scoreline alone suggests: United own the larger statement, but Roma showed that the contest could move in the other direction on home ground. Future meetings will ask whether United’s margin remains the defining feature, or Roma can turn a response into a more even balance.
