The Giallorossi face Manchester United at Old Trafford in the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals tomorrow.
Paulo Fonseca’s side sit seventh in the Serie A table and their only hope to qualify for the Champions League next season is to lift the Europa League.
They eliminated Braga, Shakhtar Donetsk and Ajax in the knock-out stages of the competition.
The second leg is in Rome on May 6.
Roma fans have encouraged their players to make sure the Red Devils remember them as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had claimed he doesn’t know the Giallorossi well.
