Paz, Fabregas and Como teach Man Utd a lesson

Serie A success story Como have gone from Serie D to the Champions League - now they have taught Manchester United a lesson in Europe.

Nico Paz scored twice and set another goal up against Manchester United

When Manchester United savoured the last of their three Champions League triumphs in 2008, Como were a Serie D club, playing in one of nine semi-professional regional leagues.

On Wednesday, at a rainy but picturesque Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium on the banks of the iconic Lake Como, the Serie A outfit showed how far they have come.

In fact, on the evidence of their 4-1 thrashing of the English side - and with progressive coach Cesc Fabregas in the dugout - you could argue the European newcomers have leapfrogged the Old Trafford outfit and then some.

Time and again, Fabregas' side sliced through United - who are now winless in their past seven games in all competitions for the first time since 2015.
