Como vs Manchester United Preview: Two Clubs Looking to Bounce Back
Como host Manchester United on Wednesday, October 21 (16:45 UTC) on Matchday 3 of the 2026/27 league phase. Both clubs have three points from two games, and both are coming off a defeat.
Como: A Statement Win, Then a Setback
Como made a loud debut at this level with a 4-1 win over RB Leipzig, then went to Feyenoord and lost 3-2. Three points from six, and a side that has shown it will score freely against anyone, and concede too.
Manchester United: From 4-0 to 2-0 Down
United beat Sabah FA 4-0 on the opening night but then lost 2-0 at Atlético Madrid, where Leny Yoro was sent off. They arrive in Italy with three points and a point to prove after the Madrid defeat.
What Is at Stake
Neither side can afford a second straight defeat if the top eight is the goal. A win would lift the winner to six points; a loss would leave the other at risk of drifting into the play-off places.
