Como Defeats Manchester United, Carrick's Job at Risk

Manchester United experienced a significant defeat against Como, with the pressure mounting on manager Michael Carrick. The match began poorly for United, conceding a goal just 118 seconds in, scored by Argentine playmaker Nico Paz, who netted twice during the game.
Paz also assisted Tasos Douvikas for another goal, while Jacobo Ramon added a fourth. This loss made United the first English team to concede in the first two minutes of consecutive major European matches.
The defeat was particularly stark considering Como's history, as they were in Serie D when United last won the Champions League in 2008. At one point, United risked equaling their heaviest European defeat, a 5-0 loss to Sporting in 1964.
Captain Bruno Fernandes was substituted for Joshua Zirkzee in the second half after key signings Matheus Cunha and Andrey Santos were taken off at halftime.
