Man Utd snap winless streak with Roma comeback

Manchester United staged a remarkable comeback from a 2-0 deficit to secure a 3-2 victory over Roma at Old Trafford, providing a much-needed boost to beleaguered manager Michael Carrick. The visitors were trailing 2-0 at the break after goals from Matias Soule and Donyell Malen put Roma in control. However, Bruno Fernandes' penalty and two goals from Matheus Cunha in quick succession turned the match around.

The decision to keep Carrick in charge after his team's poor early performance backfired, as United's disorganized defense again struggled against Roma's swift attack. Roma has now lost all five matches at Old Trafford, most notably a 7-1 defeat under Carrick's leadership 19 years ago. Carrick responded to Lisandro Martinez's red card by benching the Argentine player, but his disorganized side was quickly exposed.

Roma's fans expressed their frustration by throwing tennis balls onto the field, demanding the Glazer family sell the club. Carlos Bacca's injury further hampered United, but Carrick's luck changed when Cunha converted two penalties, including one saved by the goalkeeper. Despite Leonardo Balerdi's late equalizer, Cunha's final goal sent United back into the Champions League fray.
