Manchester United's worst start in 40 years ends in 4-1 Champions League rout
Manchester United lost 4-1 to Como, extending their winless run to seven games and facing their worst league start in four decades.
Manchester United crashed to a 4-1 Champions League defeat at Como on Wednesday, deepening the crisis around manager Michael Carrick. Nico Paz scored twice, with Tasos Douvikas and Jacobo Ramon also finding the net.
Joshua Zirkzee's late goal was scant consolation. The loss extended United's winless streak to seven games.
It is their worst league start in 40 years. Captain Bruno Fernandes pointed the finger at Carrick's tactics after the match, criticising the team's passive approach without pressing and the space it gave Como to attack.
Fernandes said United needed to be braver and take more risks under pressure.
