How to watch Como vs Manchester United

Manchester United are heading to the Italian city of Como for their third league phase match of the 2026/27 Champions League season. The game, played in a charming lakeside city, is being closely watched because of what it means for both teams' form.

Both teams are led by former midfielders: Cesc Fabregas and Michael Carrick. The two faced each other many times on the pitch in the Premier League, and this time they are rivals on the touchline as managers. The former Spanish star Fabregas is enjoying a very successful spell at Como. Carrick's job at United, meanwhile, is under threat of being shaken, with the team having made a poor start to the season.

Football fans in Ireland will be able to watch the match with English commentary on the free-to-air channel Virgin Media Two. The game can also be followed online via Virgin Media Play.
