Highlights - Champions League - Manchester United 3-2 Roma
Bruno Fernandes sparked the comeback and Matheus Cunha scored twice as United won their first match in 54 days, with Shea Lacey helping seal it.
On Wednesday, Erling Haaland struck a late winner to secure Manchester City a 3-2 Champions League victory over RB Leipzig, continuing his prolific record against the German side.
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca provided detailed bench instructions to Phil Foden and Abdukodir Khusanov as the team navigated Leipzig's offensive threats in Saxony.
Castello Lukeba's own goal gave City an early lead, but Ridle Baku equalized after a Gianluigi Donnarumma error; Enzo Fernandez restored the lead before Antonio Nusa leveled again.
The victory strengthens Manchester City's position in the Champions League league phase, with the club holding six points after three matches played.
