The Red Devils continue their losing streak.
Manchester United were humiliated in their UEFA Champions League 2026-27 league phase tie, losing 4-1 to Como 1907. The humiliating defeat came at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia in Italy, placing enormous pressure on United manager Michael Carrick as the team’s poor run continues.
This defeat has only put their new season’s aspirations down the drain, as they suffered one of the most humbling defeats under Carrick, whose future will certainly be discussed by the club’s board.
Nico Paz scored twice for the Italian side, while Anastasios Douvikas and Jacobo Ramón also found the back of the net to put the Italian side four goals up. Joshua Zirkzee pulled one back for the visitors in stoppage time, but it proved to be a mere consolation goal.

5. Nico Paz with a masterclass performance
Nico Paz put up a masterclass for Como in their UEFA Champions League encounter against Manchester United. The 22-year-old Argentine midfielder ripped United’s defence to shreds, scoring twice and giving an assist to put Como ahead in the game and leading them to a win.
4. United set an unwanted record
Manchester United became the first English side to concede goals inside the opening two minutes of successive important European matches (1st minute vs Atlético Madrid, 2nd minute against Como). Manager Michael Carrick’s side arrived in Italy on a string of losing games and with mounting defensive issues, and the repeated early breakdowns have made an already bad time much worse.
3. Manchester United defensive woes continue
The issue of injuries and suspensions continued to intensify for Manchester United as they suffered a heavy defeat to Como 1907 in the UEFA Champions League. Carrick was forced to field a weakened backline with Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Matthijs de Ligt (his first start back) and Noussair Mazraoui, with teenagers such as Harry Amass coming from the bench.
United’s 4-2-4 pressing style has regularly opened enormous gaps in midfield and enabled opposition to run unnoticed behind the backline.
2. Nico Paz sets new record vs Man United
Nico Paz struck twice to help his side to a 4-0 win over Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League, making him the second-youngest Argentine to record a goal against United. Paz opened the scoring just two minutes in at the Sinigaglia. Anastasios Douvikas scored to make it 2-0, then he scored his second in the 57th. He is now the second only to Lionel Messi as the youngest Argentine to score against Manchester United in the tournament.
1. An embarrassing defeat for Manchester United
Manchester United were embarrassed against Como, losing 4-1 late in their UEFA Champions League encounter. Carrick’s team got off to a nightmare start in the pouring rain at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. This performance put further heat on Michael Carrick, after his side entered the contest on the tail of a six-game losing record and considerable criticism of his man management.
