Man United squad savaged as Fabio Capello pulls no punches after remarkable Roma win

Fabio Capello criticized Manchester United's squad as "average" following their Champions League comeback victory over Roma at Old Trafford. Capello stated that Roma's defeat against Michael Carrick's team hurts more than their recent 4-3 loss to Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid because United lack exceptional match-winning players. Matheus Cunha scored two late goals to secure the comeback for United after Roma surrendered a two-goal lead.

Former Roma captain Alessandro Florenzi agreed with Capello's assessment, noting greater regrets from the Manchester defeat. However, Roma head coach Gian Piero Gasperini disputed comparisons between the matches, citing a second-half lack of energy and psychological fatigue following a retaken penalty rather than coincidence.
