Michael Carrick's Manchester United suffered a humiliating 4-1 defeat against Como in the Champions League, marking their seventh consecutive match without a win. This latest setback has intensified the scrutiny on Carrick and his squad as their season spirals downward.

The match began poorly for United, who conceded just two minutes into the game, making them the first English team to allow goals in back-to-back Champions League matches so soon. Cesc Fabregas' well-coached Como side showcased superior intensity and quality throughout the match, leaving United's players struggling to keep up.

Key moments included:

• Nico Paz opened the scoring with a curling shot into the top corner, exploiting space left by Harry Maguire.
• Paz then assisted Tasos Douvikas for another goal, as United's defense faltered.
• A third goal came from Paz after he capitalized on a poor decision by Carlos Baleba.
• Jacobo Ramon capped the night with a header from a corner, further highlighting United's defensive frailties.

Bruno Fernandes, United's star player, remained largely ineffective, contributing only one goal involvement in his last nine appearances. The lone consolation came from Joshua Zirkzee, who scored in injury time, but it did little to alleviate the disappointment.

With just three points from their first three group matches, United faces a challenging road ahead in the competition. They must regroup quickly, as they prepare to host Bournemouth in the Premier League this Sunday.
