Overview
- Manchester United were beaten 4-1 by Como at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, a result that extended the club’s winless run and provoked sharp post‑match fallout.
- Captain Bruno Fernandes told reporters the coaching staff’s decision not to press man‑to‑man invited Como to build confidence and placed responsibility with the manager and his staff.
- Michael Carrick publicly accepted responsibility for the performance while blaming players’ work‑rate and commitment and warning that the manner of the display was unacceptable.
- Multiple outlets reported a heated off‑camera exchange between Carrick and forward Matheus Cunha during the match, a development that media say has worsened concerns about dressing‑room unity.
