FILE - In this July 26, 2014 file photo, AS Roma's Francesco Totti kicks for a goal during an exhibition soccer match against Manchester United at Mile High Stadium in Denver, Co.

Three years after takeover by US owners, Roma is expected to contend for the Serie A title. (AP Photo/Brennan Linsley, file)
