After nearly three years away, Manchester United have finally returned to Europe’s biggest stage — and they marked their Champions League comeback in style.
Under Michael Carrick, United are looking like a completely different side. Bruno Fernandes is playing with confidence, Marcus Rashford looks sharper, and the Red Devils have plenty of attacking firepower to make this European campaign exciting.
Their Champions League return came against Azerbaijani side Sabah, who were experiencing this level of European football for the first time.
And United made sure there was no fairytale upset.
The Reds produced a dominant performance to secure a 4–0 victory, giving Carrick and his players the perfect start to their European adventure.
Manchester United are three-time Champions League winners:
🏆 1968
🏆 1999
🏆 2008
Now, the question is whether this new-look United side can create another unforgettable European campaign.
With Carrick at the wheel, Bruno pulling the strings and Rashford looking dangerous again, there is plenty for United fans to be excited about.
The journey has begun.
Could 2027 be the year Manchester United lift the Champions League trophy again? 👀🏆
