Manchester United staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Roma 3-2 in a thrilling Champions League encounter last night, handing manager, Michael Carrick a timely boost amid growing pressure over his future at the club.
United appeared to be heading for another disappointing result after falling two goals behind within the opening 17 minutes against the Italian visitors, who had remained unbeaten in their first 10 Serie A matches this season.
Carrick had come under increasing pressure following a nine-game winless run, and the team’s poor start threatened to worsen his already difficult situation.
However, United produced an impressive second-half performance, with Captain, Bruno Fernandes sparking the comeback by converting a penalty before Matheus Cunha scored twice within three minutes to complete a stunning turnaround for Manchester United.
