Como inflict heavy Champions League defeat

Manchester United travelled to face Como in Wednesday’s Champions League fixture amid an already troubled opening to the campaign.
Como produced a commanding performance to win 4-1, handing United one of their most damaging results of the season.
The scale of the defeat represents a new low in United’s early-season struggles and leaves Carrick under greater scrutiny.

United now face the task of responding quickly after a four-goal setback against Italian opposition that had been viewed as an emerging force rather than one of Europe’s established heavyweights.
