Manchester United supporters are breathing a sigh of relief after watching Como destroy Lens 9-1 in their UEFA Champions League Matchday 4 clash.
The Italian side ran completely riot in their debut UCL season, dismantling the Ligue 1 outfit with relentless attacking flair and piling on goal after goal in one of the most lopsided scorelines in the competition's history.
At full time, Manchester United fans on social media could not help but reflect on their own recent humiliation against Fàbregas’ high-flying side.
United had suffered an embarrassing 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Como earlier in the campaign, a result that cranked up the heat under Michael Carrick.
After that defeat, Fabregas revealed he asked his team to slow down as soon as they went four goals up, preferring to conserve their energy for the games to come.
Fans flooded timelines, claiming that it could have been worse, and thanked Fabregas for what was practically an act of benevolence.
Fabregas knew exactly what he was saying 😅😮 https://t.co/NYP9MG1mgG

Thank you Fabregas for telling your players to stop scoring against Manchester United. I thought you were joking until today

⏮️🎙️| Cesc Fàbregas after facing Manchester United: “I told them [Como players] to slow down at 4-0!” Today, he beat Lens 1-9. Doesn't look like he told them to stop this time! 😅 https://t.co/sKUm3fpl6F

Manchester United and fans doesn’t know what Fabregas had done for them when he begged his players to slow down on 4-0.
