Man United Stage 3-2 Comeback as PSG Sets Champions League Record
Manchester United recovered from a two-goal deficit to defeat AS Roma 3-2 at Old Trafford on November 3, 2026, avoiding a deeper crisis following their worst-ever start to a European home match. European football clubs navigated a dramatic Champions League fixture list that saw Paris Saint-Germain set a historic scoring speed record while Barcelona and Bayern Munich secured decisive victories.
United found themselves trailing 2-0 after 17 minutes against Roma, marking the quickest double conceded by the club in any European fixture at Old Trafford. A second-half turnaround under coach Michael Carrick saw Bruno Fernandes convert a retaken penalty before Matheus Cunha scored twice and was subsequently sent off to secure the win.
