In the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Manchester United hosted Roma at Old Trafford. United fell two goals behind in the first half. After the break, Bruno Fernandes scored from the penalty spot to pull one back, and Matheus Cunha then scored twice in three minutes before being sent off for a second yellow card. United came from behind to beat Roma 3-2 at home. After the match, United manager Michael Carrick spoke to TNT Sports Mexico.
Michael, thank you very much for your time. Congratulations on a great victory and a fantastic comeback. How do you feel right now? What are your emotions?
Yes, I'm really proud of the players and the fans. In the end, it was a very good night for us. The players showed strength and resilience in difficult circumstances. We were 2-0 down at home, and given our recent results, they still found a way to win the game. They deserve a lot of credit for that.
Matheus Cunha celebrated enthusiastically with the fans after scoring. How important is he to the team overall?
Yes, he played very well tonight. I thought he was good away at Chelsea at the weekend too, showing his quality at times. He showed it again tonight, which is obviously very important for us.
You have another important match this weekend, facing Aston Villa here again. How do you feel about the upcoming match?
Obviously, we feel good about tonight's performance and the result. We have a few days to rest, recover and prepare, because it's another important game for us.
