In a dramatic European night at Old Trafford on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, Manchester United produced a miraculous second-half comeback to defeat AS Roma 3-2, snapping a dismal 9-game winless streak and easing severe pressure on manager Michael Carrick.
The match began amid turbulent scenes as green-and-gold balloons cascaded from the Stretford End in fan protests against the Glazer ownership, followed by tennis balls being thrown onto the pitch in the 21st minute. Roma capitalized on the early disarray, racing to a 2-0 lead within 17 minutes through goals from Matias Soule and Donyell Malen. Trailing at halftime, United looked down and out.

Captain Bruno Fernandes converted a retaken penalty to pull one back, reigniting the home side. Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha then seized the spotlight, capitalizing on a defensive error to equalize in the 83rd minute before firing a brilliant near-post winner just three minutes later (86th minute). Though Cunha was sent off in injury time following a second yellow card for celebrating his second goal without a shirt and a subsequent late challenge, his heroics secured United's third win of the season in unforgettable fashion.
