Manchester United recovered from a 2-0 deficit to defeat Roma 3-2 at Old Trafford in a Champions League group match. The Red Devils were trailing after 17 minutes, when Roma’s Matias Soule scored in the 11th minute and Donyell Malen converted a penalty. United’s comeback began in the second half when Bruno Fernandes converted a retaken penalty, and Matheus Cunha scored twice, in the 83rd and 86th minutes, before being sent off. The win was crucial for coach Michael Carrick, whose team had been under scrutiny.
