Following a 6-2 victory in the first leg at Old Trafford, Manchester United already has one foot in the Europa League final, but United may still be wary of a Roma side that turned around a 4-1 Champions League deficit against Barcelona just three years ago.
Bruno Fernandes and Edinson Cavani each scored two goals for United in the first leg semifinal at Old Trafford last week after Roma jumped out to a 2-1 lead in the first 33 minutes.
The Red Devils used a five-goal second half to bury the Italian side, which could not make any second-half substitutions after sustaining three injuries to players in the first half.
