A Manchester United fan won pitchside access at Old Trafford for their UEFA Champions League fixture against Roma which saw Michael Carrick’s side record a second victory of the 2026/27 league phase.

Lifelong United supporter Martin Williams claimed the exclusive prize ahead of kick-off after correctly naming England's top five UEFA Champions League goalscorers.

Football content creator Nathan Sayers adapted his You Know Ball concept to give it a UCL feel, while bet365 added a sprinkling of magic by providing this matchday experience to one lucky winner.

"It's brilliant this. Absolutely fantastic. You've made an old man really happy." Martin told Nathan Sayers.

It appeared another bleak evening was in store at Old Trafford after the visitors scored twice inside the opening 17 minutes through Matias Soule and a Donyell Malen penalty.

Matters deteriorated further when £70million summer signing Carlos Baleba was withdrawn due to a hamstring injury, but United rallied to stage an astonishing comeback.

Captain Bruno Fernandes held his nerve to twice convert from the penalty spot after a Roma player entered the area during his first attempt, and after Bryan Mbeumo produced an effort that struck both posts, Matheus Cunha levelled proceedings as he capitalised on an error from Leonardo Balerdi.

With momentum on their side, Cunha appeared again four minutes from time with a drilled shot from an acute angle, and although the Brazilian was sent off for a second bookable offence in stoppage time, the Red Devils survived to end their winless run.

Nathan will continue to take his Do You Know UCL game to matches throughout the 2026/27 season, so keep any eye out for him if you are attending any of the below fixtures for the chance to follow in Martin’s footsteps.
