United thrashed Sabah 4-0 at Old Trafford (PA)
Manchester United made a triumphant return to the Champions League with a comfortable 4-0 victory over Azerbaijani champions Sabah at Old Trafford.
Goals from Matheus Cunha, Bruno Fernandes, Benjamin Sesko, and Lisandro Martinez secured United's biggest European win since 2020.
Manager Michael Carrick took the opportunity to rotate his squad ahead of the Manchester derby, resting several key players and giving minutes to youngsters.
Sabah, founded in 2017 and playing the biggest match in their history, created notable chances but were unable to break through the United defence.
The win marked United's 300th match in the European Cup, with Carrick's side next facing a stiffer test away against Atletico Madrid.
