Thierry Henry draws unexpected Arsene Wenger and Michael Carrick parallel after Man United’s Roma heroics
Story updated
The story in brief
6-second readThierry Henry has drawn a bold comparison between Man United boss Michael Carrick and Arsene Wenger after the dramatic Roma comeback.
From the source
Thierry Henry has drawn a striking comparison, likening Michael Carrick’s current plight at Manchester United to Arsène Wenger’s troubled latter years in North London. Carrick was handed a stay of execution on Tuesday as United ended their nine-match winless run with a dramatic comeback victory over AS Roma.
United found themselves in deep trouble in the opening stages, as Roma scored twice inside 17 minutes through Matías Soulé and Donyell Malen. United reduced the arrears on the hour mark as Bruno Fernandes scored from the penalty spot, having missed his first attempt but being granted a second bite of the apple due to an encroachment offence.
Cunha scored in the 83rd minute following a missed clearance by Leonardo Balerdi, before smashing home the winner just three minutes later to complete a remarkable comeback at a packed Old Trafford.
