Como defeated Manchester United 4-1 in a Champions League match, with Argentine forward Nico Paz scoring twice.

Manchester United lost 4-1 to Como in a Champions League match on Wednesday, with Argentine forward Nico Paz scoring twice for the Italian side. Tasos Douvikas and Jacobo Ramon also scored for Como, while Joshua Zirkzee added a consolation goal for United.

United made a poor start, falling behind early to Paz's first goal. They were fortunate to reach half-time only one goal down, but Como extended their lead after the break with further goals from Douvikas, Paz again and Ramon to make it 4-0.

The defeat intensifies scrutiny on manager Michael Carrick following United's wretched start to the season. United were without nine players for the trip to Italy, but Como, built by former Spanish star Cesc Fabregas, demonstrated bold, joined-up football despite also being beset by injuries. The result extends Como's winless run to seven matches.
