Manchester United secured a dominant 4-0 victory against Sabah in their Champions League return at Old Trafford. Goals from Cunha, Fernandes, Sesko, and Martinez highlighted a strong team performance under manager Michael Carrick.
Why it matters
The result marks a significant positive start for Manchester United in their European campaign, signaling potential momentum for the club's season.
Manchester United marked their return to the Champions League with a blockbuster 4-0 win over Sabah at Old Trafford on Thursday, 10 September. Goals from Matheus Cunha , Bruno Fernandes , Benjamin Sesko , and Lisandro Martinez secured a fruitful midweek European night for the Premier League giants.
Michael Carrick made four changes to the team that was held to a disappointing 2-2 draw at the Hill Dickinson Stadium by Everton last weekend in the Premier League. Senne Lammens continued in goal, but Leny Yoro , Noussair Mazraoui and Patrick Dorgu were selected alongside Lisandro Martinez at the back.
Harry Maguire , Diogo Dalot and Luke Shaw were afforded a rest, perhaps with the upcoming Manchester Derby in mind. Carrick, however, stuck with the midfield axis of Kobbie Mainoo and Youri Tielemans , while Fernandes continued in the No. 10 role.
