Carrick under more pressure as Manchester United humbled against Como

Como claimed an emphatic 4-1 victory over Manchester United in the Champions League at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium on Wednesday, intensifying pressure on manager Michael Carrick. Nico Paz scored two goals and provided an assist for Tasos Douvikas, while Jacobo Ramón added a fourth for Cesc Fàbregas's side. Joshua Zirkzee netted a stoppage-time consolation goal for United as the English side suffered a damaging European defeat.

Tensions flared after the match as Carrick and captain Bruno Fernandes openly disagreed over team pressing tactics. Carrick apologised to United's traveling supporters while ignoring his players post-match, later admitting to feeling anger. The manager faces growing scrutiny ahead of a Premier League match against Bournemouth, having secured only two victories across United's opening 11 matches in all competitions this season.
