Man Utd snap winless streak with Roma comeback

Manchester United staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Roma 3-2 at Old Trafford, ending a nine-game winless streak in all competitions. The home fans' unrest reached a boiling point after Roma took a 2-0 lead in the first 20 minutes. Matias Soule and Donyell Malen scored for Roma, but Bruno Fernandes' penalty gave United a glimmer of hope.

Michael Carrick's decision to field his beleaguered team looked questionable as United struggled in the first half. Roma's disorganized defense was exploited by Soule, who scored on 11 minutes, followed by Malen's penalty on 12 minutes. United's Carlos Baleba was substituted due to a severe hamstring injury. Despite pulling a man down in the box, Carlos Baleba's absence was soon rectified when Matheus Cunha scored twice after two penalty awards.

Roma's captain Bryan Cristante made a desperate attempt to clear the ball off the line, but his efforts were in vain. Just seven minutes from time, Cunha sealed the three-goal victory, providing a much-needed boost to United's Champions League campaign.
