Manchester United scored three times after half-time to beat Roma. Five days later, they have another chance to give Old Trafford something to cheer about, this time in the Premier League. Aston Villa visit on Sunday, 8 November 2026, at 4:30 pm GMT, with United still looking for their first league win since August.
Manchester United’s remaining November games take Michael Carrick’s side to Anfield and Lisbon before a home match against Brentford. The Villa game is the last one before the international break. When club football resumes, United will play three times in seven days, with two away trips and a switch from league action to the Champions League and back again.
Manchester United F.C. Games and November Kick-Off Times
United’s two Sunday fixtures start at 4:30 pm GMT. They host Aston Villa on 8 November at Old Trafford and travel to Liverpool on 22 November. The Anfield game is United’s first match after the international break and their only away Premier League fixture of the month.
The midweek Champions League match against Sporting CP is on Wednesday, 25 November, at 8:00 pm GMT at Estádio José Alvalade. United then host Brentford on Saturday, 28 November, with kick-off at 3:00 pm GMT. That makes Brentford the earliest start of the four remaining fixtures and Sporting the only evening kick-off.
Why the Aston Villa Match Matters
United have seven points from nine Premier League games and have gone seven league matches without a win. Their last two league results were defeats to Bournemouth and Chelsea, and they didn’t score in either game. The Roma comeback showed how quickly United can turn a match around. Against Villa, the challenge is to take the lead and give themselves a game they can control.
Villa drew 1–1 with Fulham in their most recent league match and then lost 3–0 at Barcelona in the Champions League. The two teams shared the wins last season, with Villa taking the December meeting 2–1 at Villa Park and United winning 3–1 at Old Trafford in March. Sunday is their first meeting of the new season.
Team News Ahead of Aston Villa’s Visit
Carrick will be without Lisandro Martínez, who is serving a league suspension after being sent off against Chelsea. Harry Maguire and Ayden Heaven played together in central defence against Roma, and Matthijs de Ligt came off the bench late in that match. Patrick Dorgu returned to training before the Villa game and was due to be assessed.
Villa also have a decision to make at the back. Matty Cash serves a one-match ban after picking up his fifth booking of the season against Fulham. Aaron Wan-Bissaka was due for a fitness check, leaving Unai Emery to decide on right-back.
How United Came Back to Beat Roma
Roma had a two-goal lead inside 17 minutes on 3 November. Matías Soulé and Donyell Malen scored for the visitors, and United went into half-time still down by two. Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring from a retaken penalty after the break. Suddenly, one more goal would put United level.
Matheus Cunha scored the equaliser and then put United ahead to seal a 3–2 win. He was later sent off for a second booking, so United finished the match with ten men. The victory ended a run of three defeats across all competitions and gave United six points from their first four Champions League games.
What Happened in United’s Previous Three Games?
The losing run began in Italy on 21 October, when Como beat United 4–1 in the Champions League. Joshua Zirkzee scored late, after Como had already put four past United. Four days later, Bournemouth won 3–0 at Old Trafford. That was United’s last home league match before Villa’s visit.
United then travelled to Stamford Bridge on 31 October and lost 2–0 to Chelsea. They conceded nine goals across those three defeats and scored just once. The Roma win ended that run. In the league, United are still looking for their first goal since the 1–1 draw at Leeds on 18 October.
Liverpool at Anfield Starts the Busiest Week of the Month
The Liverpool match on 22 November begins United’s run of three fixtures in seven days. It comes immediately after the international break, and it is the first of two away games in quick succession. United face Liverpool on Sunday afternoon, then head to Lisbon for Wednesday’s Champions League game.
That order gives Carrick two different selection calls. He has to pick a side for Anfield and then decide who can start again in Lisbon a few days later. A second short turnaround follows before Brentford. How he uses the bench across the two away games may shape who starts the month’s final match at Old Trafford.
Sporting CP Offer United a Chance to Pick Up Away Points
United have won both of their Champions League home games, against Sabah and Roma. Both away games ended in defeats, at Atlético de Madrid and Como. That makes Sporting CP a chance to pick up their first away points of the league phase. Sporting enter the fixture after a 1–0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk.
The game at Estádio José Alvalade is United’s fifth match in the eight-game league phase. Leipzig visit Old Trafford in December, and Bayern Munich and Villarreal are still to come in January. A result in Lisbon would give United a stronger points total before those final three games.
Brentford Close Out November at Old Trafford
United return home to face Brentford on 28 November, less than three days after kick-off in Lisbon. It is their first match at Old Trafford since Villa’s visit. Carrick will have had two away matches to assess where his side stand before they finish the month back in front of their own supporters.
Brentford had 14 points from nine league games heading into the weekend of 7–8 November. That was twice United’s total from the same number of matches. The teams each have two more league games before they meet, so the gap could look different by the time Brentford arrive at Old Trafford.
Conclusion
Manchester United’s remaining November games give Carrick a chance to turn the lift from the Roma win into better league results. Villa come first, and three points at Old Trafford would end a seven-match league run without a victory before the international break.
After that, Anfield and Lisbon will test United away from home before Brentford come to Old Trafford. By the end of November, United will know whether they have ended their league winless run and picked up their first away points in Europe this season.
