From disaster to madness! Manchester United produce incredible comeback against Roma to end nightmare streak
Old Trafford has witnessed an absolutely incredible Champions League comeback! Manchester United recovered from a two-goal deficit to defeat Roma 3-2 on November 3, ending their miserable nine-match winless streak. Matheus Cunha became the hero with two dramatic late goals that turned a looming disaster into an unforgettable victory.
Details: The evening initially looked like another nightmare for Michael Carrick. Matias Soule put Roma ahead in the 13th minute before Donyell Malen converted a penalty five minutes later. United were already trailing 0-2 after just 18 minutes, and furious supporters booed their team at half-time.
Everything changed after the break. Bruno Fernandes scored a retaken penalty in the 58th minute after his initial attempt was saved. Bryan Mbeumo then struck both posts, signalling that United were finally gaining momentum and putting Roma under serious pressure.
The decisive moments arrived in the closing stages. Cunha equalised in the 83rd minute after a defensive mistake by Leonardo Balerdi. Just three minutes later, the Brazilian collected Shea Lacey's pass and blasted home the winner, sending Old Trafford into wild celebrations.
The drama continued when Cunha received a second yellow card in stoppage time, but United protected their advantage. The final whistle confirmed a remarkable 3-2 victory and their first win after nine consecutive matches without success. The result provides a vital boost for Carrick, whose future had been under intense scrutiny.
Reminder: Manchester United had previously decided to review Michael Carrick's future during the November international break.
