Manchester United ain’t dead yet. The Reds got their first win in more than 50 days on Tuesday with a comeback befitting of both the club’s history and the team’s current clumsy form.

They were under fire and down 2-0 early in the UEFA Champions League Group Phase against AS Roma, but a penalty conversion by captain Bruno Fernandes helped spark a turnaround that could yet save the team from its slump.

The signs of an improved performance were there somewhat, but the mood quickly soured after a pair of defensive mishaps leading to goal. Diogo Dalot was caught way out of position in the 11th minute as the Italians opened the scoring, and Donyell Malen added to the lead from the spot with an Ayden Heaven handball just six minutes later.
