Marcus faces the spectre of departure once again

Kobbie Mainoo has urged Manchester United to show self-belief when they welcome an in-form Roma to Old Trafford on Tuesday night. The Red Devils find themselves mired in a grim nine-match winless streak across all competitions, but the 19-year-old midfielder is adamant that a single marquee European victory can ignite their stuttering campaign.

Relive the historic night in 2007 when Sir Alex Ferguson's side produced a masterclass of attacking football to destroy Roma 7-1. A relentless performance saw Manchester United overturn a first-leg deficit in spectacular style.

Speaking with the profound care of a former captain who still bleeds red, Rio Ferdinand offers a thoughtful reflection on Manchester United’s post-Ferguson era. In an impassioned plea for unity, the legendary defender unpacks the heavy expectations at Old Trafford, the importance of protecting the manager, and why true rebuilding requires time.
