Roma scored through Matias Soule in the 11th minute and a Donyell Malen penalty, according to Naharnet. It was the fastest United had conceded twice in a European game at Old Trafford, the outlet said. Roma had also conceded three goals in the last 10 minutes of a 4-3 loss to Real Madrid the previous month, according to Naharnet.
According to Naharnet, United's comeback came in the second half. Bruno Fernandes scored a retaken penalty, and Matheus Cunha scored in the 83rd and 86th minutes. Cunha was later sent off. It is not yet known whether Cunha faces a suspension.
Naharnet described the win as a relief for United coach Michael Carrick, who is under pressure during a troubled season. Speaking about the win over Roma, Carrick said, as quoted by Naharnet: "I'm not getting too carried away with things," On the significance of the win, he said: "I think it's an important night. I think it's important for some of the players to have the feeling that they maybe haven't had here before."
Speaking about the second-half comeback, Fernandes said, as quoted by Naharnet: "We knew after halftime that we still had the fans with us and we felt that at any moment we could change that with a goal, with something. Fortunately for us, we did it today," He added: "Hopefully this win today gives the start of something good for us."
According to Naharnet, United fans staged a pre-planned protest in the 21st minute by throwing a small number of tennis balls onto the pitch. It marked 21 years since the Glazer family's leveraged buyout of the club. Supporters have long called for the American owners to sell their controlling stake.
Paris Saint-Germain
According to Naharnet, Paris Saint-Germain beat Villarreal 6-0. They led 4-0 after 17 minutes, with goals from Joao Neves, Desire Doue, Senny Mayulu and Fabian Ruiz inside that period. Naharnet reported that UEFA said no team had scored four goals faster in a Champions League game.
Naharnet reported that Ruiz and 17-year-old substitute David Boly added PSG's goals in the second half. Boly scored four minutes after coming on in his competition debut. PSG are the only team on 12 points, the outlet said. They were without the injured Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
According to Naharnet, PSG, coached by Luis Enrique, are pursuing a third consecutive Champions League title. That would match Real Madrid's feat of 2016-18.
