← Manchester United vs AS Roma LIVE UEFA Champions League

A truly incredible comeback as Man United come from 2-0 down to beat Roma 3-2! Give us your reaction

Is this a turning point for Michael Carrick?

harveyleonard991d ago

United love a European comeback. But that did little to suggest a turnaround moving forward. Same issues. Just delaying the inevitable by keeping carrick

stephenjholmes11d ago

The issue was addressed. Replacing Amad with Lacey. I keep saying it. Lacey is unpredictable, and he scares defenders. Who else can we say that about? Take advantage of the main momentum that was created following his introduction. Cunya scores 2 goals BECAUSE of Laceys introduction. Guaranteed ha will be back on the bench as an unused sub at the weekend.

Just can see them losing to Villa at the weekend tho…

adnan.riaz1d ago

The shift in mood for me this morning was unreal. Don’t care if it’s short term. I’m taking it right now.

dancoombs1d ago

I know - lets just enjoy the moment!

dantowen819511d ago

I have no idea if it’s a turning point - this club has seen more false dawns than most. But my god there’s some quality, quality players in this team! Nice to be reminded of that once in a while

dancoombs1d ago

All I wanted was one win. Going to savour it and not even worry about Villa until its here

stephenjholmes11d ago

It amazes me that Cunya gets all of the credit. As with every game that Shea Lacey has been introduced into, whilst United are losing, Shea gets no credit. Guaranteed he will be back to being an unused sub again when United lose at the weekend!

dancoombs1d ago

He has to start this weekend. We were so much better when he came on. Amad too predictable and lacking spark

caleb.sage1d ago

Much-needed but PL is bread and butter man. Gotta see that kind of fight and energy against Brighton, Hull, Chelsea etc.

dakir.thanveer1d ago

Carrick won't turn anything around with Dalot at left-back (or anywhere in the XI)

peter.lynch1d ago

A stunning turnaround but sadly I don’t think it does a whole lot for Carrick in all honesty. Might save him some more time, but I think the writing is already on the wall

jackgallagher2d ago

Could be but the defending still needs to improve. Match winners up top but need to defend well enough to give Cunha and co. a chance to go win games

dancoombs1d ago

I quite enjoyed seeing De Ligt on at the end and him clearing the box. Hopefully he is fit to play a bigger part

seanfisher2d ago

All it needed was that first goal. You could actually see the difference it made to everything. It’s crazy how much confidence and momentum matters in football

jordan.harris2d ago

I can definitely see this buying Carrick a lot longer, but remain pessimistic about the direction the club is going in

charlesjones2d ago

I can’t see Carrick surviving the season but this has bought him maybe a bit of time

chillout2d ago

I’m not sure it will make much difference (although I hope it will). This club don’t do sentimentality - Van Gaal was fired two days after winning the FA Cup. Ten Hag went 156 days after winning the sand trophy.

dale.odonnell2d ago

What a story it will be if Carrick can turn it around (again).

don5977532d ago

We can all see dalots performance don't tell me amass wouldn't be an improvement

dancoombs1d ago

Absolutely. Give him a chance!

geldroper2d ago

Maybe if Carrick would do the same with Amass but I would be suprized if Lacey is on the team against Aston Villa. Amass should be there for the sec half

pranav.shahaney2d ago

Can’t have one game where United go down 2-0 at home after 20 minutes and then turn things around in the second half be a justification for Carrick to say. United are in a relegation battle and Carrick’s only here because the owners are too cheap and don’t really have a Plan B

febced12d ago

It's not a turning point,as it was a once-off. Let's see what happens this weekend when motivation levels plunge.

dancoombs2d ago

I think scepticism is fair based on how consistently bad we have been this season

jonny2d ago

Brilliant, it just can’t be a one off. Means nothing if we lose on Sunday

callum_boyle2d ago

That felt like the Man United of old with the noise of the stadium and the late comeback. Obviously papers over a lot of cracks but players like Cunha are the ones who care and ones to put your faith in. Like Carrick so I’m delighted for him more than anyone else

dancoombs2d ago

The noise was incredible after we pulled it back to 2-1

dancoombs2d ago

Wow. Exactly what we needed! Well done lads. I was ready to give up!

dale.odonnell2d ago

The response we’ve wanted for some time. Brilliant second half.
