Manchester United have become the first English club in history to concede a goal inside the first two minutes of back-to-back Champions League matches, according to BBC Hausa.
The first early goal came in United's away fixture against Atletico in Spain, and the pattern repeated in the meeting with Como. BBC's sports roundup for 19 to 25 October 2026 reported the record.
The detail in the report is limited to the timing of the two goals and the opponents involved. BBC did not, in the material available, give the scorelines, the identity of the scorers, or the outcome of either match.
The statistic places United alone among English sides in the competition's history for conceding so early in consecutive European fixtures. The report frames it as a defensive concern, with the club's back line beaten before the second minute in both games.
United now face the task of correcting a slow start that has already cost them in Europe. Supporters will look to the next Champions League fixture to see whether the pattern holds or whether the side can begin matches on firmer footing.
