Roma also sustained an injury blow ahead of tonight's second leg of the semi-finals.
According to Sky Italia, midfielder Amadou Diawara will not be available.
DON"T MISS:
Diawara has been ruled out of the tie due to a hamstring injury sustained during preparation.
He was also scheduled to speak at the pre-match press conference alongside outgoing boss Paulo Fonseca.
Diawara played 90 minutes at Old Trafford but did not play in the weekend loss to Sampdoria.
This season, the defensive midfielder has played 10 Europa League games for Roma, and his absence will be felt keenly.
DON"T MISS:
Roma are still without first-choice goalie Pau Lopez, who had shoulder surgery after suffering an injury at Old Trafford.
United's victory is dependent on a draw.
United are now much more likely to take the second leg tonight as a result of these casualties.
United leads the first leg 6-2 and will meet a Roma team that is short on morale and without key players.
Jordan Veretout, who left the game with an injury at Old Trafford, is also expected to skip the match.
Diawara's absence exposes Roma in midfield and gives United a better chance to win the game.
United are lacking Dan James, who might have played in this game if Solskjaer were to rotate.
Anthony Martial and Phil Jones are both out, but the Frenchman has returned to individual practicing and could be ready for the final.
