Manchester United began their Champions League campaign with a 4-0 victory against Sabah FK, a side making their debut in the competition. This win follows a significant absence from the tournament for the English club, which has spent recent seasons rebuilding its European pedigree under Michael Carrick. While the result was decisive, the mismatch highlights the growing disparity in depth between established Premier League sides and newer entries to the continental stage. Whether this momentum translates into a deep run against tougher European opponents remains the key question for United’s season.
