Manchester United have won just two of their 11 matches this season across the Premier League, League Cup and Champions League.
After the 4-1 defeat in Italy, United manager Michael Carrick walked towards the 700 away fans who had travelled, with his hands raised in the air.
"I care a lot about the fans. They are the heart of this club. I have to apologise for the performance. It is not acceptable," he told TNT Sports.
Not much support
He received little support from his captain, Bruno Fernandes, over his tactical choices against Champions League debutants Como.
"It’s a decision by the coaching staff not to press man-to-man and sometimes leave spaces behind to try to win the ball, but sometimes when you give these teams space, they gain confidence," Fernandes told TNT Sports, according to the BBC.
Carrick believes everyone must take responsibility for the effort, but did not want to discuss his future right away.
"Tonight is not about me. It’s about digesting the game and how it went," he said.
“Disrespectful”
Even before the defeat, Carrick’s position as manager was uncertain, and Como coach Cesc Fabregas had previously been mentioned as a possible replacement.
"I think it’s disrespectful to such a great football player and coach as Michael Carrick," the former Spanish great said of the speculation ahead of the match.
On the pitch, the home team showed no respect for the visitors. Nico Paz scored the opening goal in the third minute. Four minutes into the second half, Tasos Douvikas made it 2-0 before Argentine Paz added his second goal of the evening eight minutes later.
With just over 15 minutes left, Jacobo Ramón made it 4-0 with a powerful header. In added time, Joshua Zirkzee scored a consolation goal for Manchester United.
