Man United ease troubles with sensational Roma comeback, PSG rampant in Champions League

Manchester United fought back from two goals down to beat Roma 3-2 in the Champions League on to hand beleaguered manager Michael Carrick a reprieve

Looking set for another abject defeat when two behind within 18 minutes through a smart Mathias Soule finish and Donyell Malen's penalty, United staged a thrilling comeback in the second half to turn a poisonous atmosphere at Old Trafford to one of joy.

Matheus Cunha, who was sent off in stoppage time, saved the day for United with a brace in three minutes with the final whistle nearing, sparking wild celebrations in the stands.

Those scenes at the end of the game couldn't have been more different to the anger which pulsated around the ground in the first half, when United fans threw tennis balls and other objects onto the Old Trafford pitch and directed foul-mouthed chants at the club's majority owners, the Glazer family.

"We knew that the fans would be behind us until the last day, we just had to get a result for them," United captain Bruno Fernandes told TNT.
