Man Utd cruise to victory on Champions League return
Matheus Cunha, Bruno Fernandes, Benjamin Sesko and Lisandro Martinez score as Manchester United end their 1,000-day Champions League exile with a victory
Manchester United secured a dominant 4-0 Champions League victory over Sabah FK at Old Trafford, their biggest triumph in the competition since 2020. The Azerbaijan champions had previously advanced through four rounds of qualifying for the first time, but were overwhelmed by the Premier League standard. United's head coach, Michael Carrick, effectively ended the match by halftime with goals from Matheus Cunha, Bruno Fernandes, and Benjamin Sesko.
Sesko, who started for the first time since May, displayed focus and was a likely contender for the upcoming Manchester derby against Manchester City. The match highlighted the significant gap between the Premier League and Sabah FK, with United's remaining opponents including Atletico Madrid, Roma, and Bayern Munich. The result puts United just behind current leaders Paris St-Germain, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich in the table.
