Just when things couldn’t get any more dire for Michael Carrick, Manchester United suffered a dreadful 4–1 defeat to Como in the Champions League on Wednesday.
The Red Devils came into the fixture desperate to snap their six-game winless run, but were out-classed from the opening whistle. It took just two minutes for Nico Paz to open the scoring for Cesc Fàbregas’s men, a tale of what was to come as the game stretched on.
