The mood around Manchester United could hardly be darker. Michael Carrick takes his side to the shores of Lake Como on Wednesday evening, knowing that another defeat would turn the heat on his position up to scorching.United havent won a game in any competition since beating Sabah 4-0 in the Champions League on 10 September. Sundays 1-1 draw at Leeds stretched that run to six games, and it came on the back of a 2-0 defeat at Atltico Madrid in which United finished with 10 men. Carrick is now the bookmakers favourite to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job, and there are reports that the club is already split over a shortlist of possible replacements.There were some positives at Elland Road. United looked more organised and solid, but they still couldnt find a way to win. Theyve scored only three goals and conceded six in their last five games, and that will need to change quickly.Cesc Fbregass Como are in much better mood. The Serie A side are making their Champions League debut this season, and they come into this one buoyed by a 3-1 win at Fiorentina on Sunday, a game in which former United goalkeeper David de Gea had a difficult afternoon in the Viola goal.Comos European campaign has been a mixed bag. Their most recent Champions League game ended in a 3-2 defeat to Feyenoord, leaving them level with United on three points, separated only by goal difference. That makes this a genuine six-pointer in the race for the knockout rounds.Home form is Comos biggest strength. They have won 32 of their last 40 games at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, and they held Roma to a goalless draw there earlier this month.This is the first competitive meeting between the two clubs.Champions League Table UEFA Champions League 2026 World #TeamPlayedWonDrawnLostGFGAGDPtsLast 2 1 Paris Saint Germain220010376 W W 2 Barcelona22009276 W W 3 Aston Villa22009276 W W 4 VfB Stuttgart22006156 W W 5 Liverpool22008446 W W 6 Sporting CP22005146 W W 7 Arsenal22004046 W W 8 Real Madrid22006426 W W 9 Real Betis22006426 W W 10 Bayern Mnchen21108354 D W 11 Shakhtar Donetsk21104224 W D 12 Como21016423 L W 13 Manchester United21014223 L W 14 Villarreal21015413 W L 15 Atletico Madrid21013213 W L 16 Club Brugge KV21016603 W L 17 Manchester City21014403 L W 18 Borussia Dortmund21013303 L W 19 Lens210134-13 L W 20 AEK Athens FC210123-13 L W 21 RB Leipzig210124-23 W L 22 Sabah FA210124-23 W L 23 Feyenoord210147-33 W L 24 Bodo/Glimt210115-43 W L 25 AS Roma201145-11 L D 26 PSV Eindhoven201112-11 L D 27 Viking201146-21 D L 28 Fenerbahe201117-61 L D 29 Inter200246-20 L L 30 FC Porto200225-30 L L 31 Slavia Praha200225-30 L L 32 Napoli200214-30 L L 33 Lask Linz200237-40 L L 34 Lille200226-40 L L 35 Galatasaray200227-50 L L 36 Slovan Bratislava200219-80 L L Position 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 : Promotion Champions League (Play Offs: 1/8-finals) Position 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 : Promotion Champions League (Play Offs: 1/16-finals) Team News for Como v Manchester UnitedLeny Yoro is suspended after his red card in Madrid, so Carrick needs to reshuffle his defence again.Luke Shaw missed the Leeds game and is doubtful while Ayden Heaven is ill and Patrick Dorgu sidelined.
