Cunha double seals United's first win since September

Manchester United’s dramatic 3‑2 comeback over Roma at Old Trafford eased the pressure on interim manager Michael Carrick, who had been under fire after a nine‑match winless run, and gave the Red Devils their first victory since September 10 in the Champions League.

The win marked United’s first since September 10, Getty, ending a nine‑match winless streak. United fell two‑down inside the opening 17 minutes, conceding a Matias Soule goal and a Donyell Malen penalty. A dismal first half saw the home side booed off the pitch at half‑time, leaving Carrick fearing the worst.

Second‑half surge clinches comeback

Fernandes kick‑started the revival by converting a penalty after his initial effort was saved by Devis Vasquez and a retake was ordered for encroachment. He scored on the retake, putting United back in the contest. Matheus Cunha equalised on 83 minutes. Three minutes later Cunha slotted the winner.

The match was described as a classic at Old Trafford. The victory was hailed as a potentially season‑defining result that relieved pressure on Carrick.

Cunha sent off after rescuing United against Roma

Speaking on Prime Video View, Fernandes said he wanted to win every f****** game for the club. He insisted the manager was right to drop him recently against Bournemouth. When asked if the win saved Carrick’s job, he replied, “We don’t need to save anyone’s job… the club needed that win.”

He added there had been media speculation and that the manager benched him because he wasn’t performing, which he accepted. Fernandes defended his boss, saying it does not change how he feels about the manager, the players or the club, and reaffirmed his aim to win every f****** game. The interview ended shortly after the expletive, with Amazon host Gabby Logan forced to apologise for the language when coverage returned to her pitch‑side.

Additional fallout and background

Cunha scored twice inside four minutes to complete the dramatic turnaround before being sent off minutes later for a second yellow card. Fernandes had previously publicly criticised Carrick’s tactics after a 4‑1 Champions League defeat to Como last month.
