Story updated
The story in brief
7-second readMatheus Cunha fueled a furious second-half rally to beat Roma 3-2, offering Michael Carrick relief on a thrilling European night that still revealed deeper systemic flaws
From the source
If this feels like vindication for Manchester United, it shouldn't. The sort of unforgettable European night you could have been forgiven for thinking might be a long time in coming for this listing club, certainly.
A fresh start to a season that seemed on the brink, perhaps. And yet everything else does not go out of the window just because this team made Old Trafford roar again in a thrilling comeback to beat Roma 3-2.
A modicum of the commitment, energy and application they showed in the second half and United would never have been in the hole they found themselves in in the first.
