Como beat Manchester United 4-1 in the Champions League

Manchester United, under Michael Carrick, lost 4-1 away at Como. The Red Devils' winless run in all competitions has reached seven matches.

United started the game badly and fell behind in the second minute. Como's Argentine star Nico Paz took advantage of the space left by Harry Maguire and sent the ball into the top corner. Paz later won the ball from Carlos Baleba and scored the third goal as well.

In the fourth minute of the second half, Tasos Douvikas also found the net from a Paz pass. Matthijs de Ligt was left behind on this goal. The Dutch defender had been named in the starting lineup for the first time in 325 days because of back problems. Como's fourth goal was a header from Jacobo Ramon, who was left unmarked.

United's only goal came from Joshua Zirkzee in stoppage time. Bruno Fernandes has contributed to only one goal in the last nine matches. For United, who collected three points in the first three matches of the league, the race to reach the last eight has become harder.

Carrick said he was very angry but that this result must be put behind them. United will host Bournemouth at home in the Premier League on Sunday.
