Manchester United's Carrick Under Fire After 4-1 Loss
On Wednesday, Manchester United faced a humiliating 4-1 defeat at home against Como in the Champions League, extending their winless streak to seven games. The match began poorly for United, with Nico Paz scoring a curling shot just two minutes in.
Despite attempts to regain control, Como added a third goal in the second half, again through Paz. United's defensive struggles were highlighted, as they conceded in 10 of their 11 games in the 2026-27 season.
Matthijs de Ligt returned to the starting XI after a long absence, but he and Harry Maguire were unable to contain Como's attacks. The midfield, featuring Andrey Santos and Mason Mount, struggled to keep up, leading to Mount being substituted at halftime for Carlos Baleba.
United registered no shots on goal in the first half and only managed four shots on target throughout the match. Manager Michael Carrick acknowledged the need for wins but faced scrutiny regarding his ability to turn the team's fortunes around.
