Manchester United produced a remarkable comeback to beat AS Roma in the Champions League, recovering from two goals down to secure a dramatic victory at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.
United looked in serious trouble after Matias Soule and Donyell Malen scored within six first-half minutes to put Roma 2-0 ahead.
The goals sparked anger among home supporters, with green tennis balls thrown onto the pitch and protests directed at the Glazer family, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and director of football Jason Wilcox.
However, United responded after the break. Bruno Fernandes converted a twice-taken penalty before Matheus Cunha capitalised on a Leonardo Balerdi error to equalise. The Brazilian then scored again four minutes from time to complete the turnaround.
Cunha was sent off for a second booking in stoppage time, but United held on to end their nine-game wait for a victory. The result was overshadowed by an injury concern involving summer signing Carlos Baleba, who was forced off early in the second half.
The midfielder pulled up with a suspected hamstring injury after carrying the ball into Roma’s penalty area. He immediately clutched the back of his thigh and appeared emotional as medical staff came on to treat him.
Baleba was unable to continue, with Youri Tielemans introduced as his replacement. The midfielder subsequently hobbled towards the dugout accompanied by a physio.
The injury is another setback for Carlos Baleba, who missed the start of his United career while recovering from an ankle problem. The 22-year-old has made seven appearances since joining the club and only made his debut last month.
His latest setback could keep him sidelined for a period, dealing another potential blow to United’s midfield options. United face Aston Villa on Sunday before travelling to Anfield to take on Liverpool after the November international break. The former Brighton defensive midfielder could miss both fixtures.
