Aston Villa

Aston Villa captain John McGinn, speaking to TNT Sports: "Barcelona made the right decisions at the right times and scored really good goals.

"The manager spoke about being clinical at important moments in the game. When you come here 50-50s sometimes don't go your way. They also leave players up the pitch so if you lose the ball they can be away.

"I think we are competitive against teams at this level, we have shown that whether it is Bayern Munich or PSG. Tonight was a huge learning curve for us and I am sure it will stand us in good stead for the future."

Things look a little bit better. Don't get me wrong, the second half is papering over the cracks from the first half, so now it's a case of using this as a benchmark and now having even more of those conversations. Making sure that this is a building block. That this isn't just out of the ordinary. It was nine without a win and now they get that chip off their shoulder to go and say, 'can this be the start of a run?'

You have to put your differences aside because you aren't able to change your players now, so you need everyone on side. Everyone has to be on the same page right now.

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has been speaking to the media after the comeback win. It is the first time he has addressed the media since his comments against Michael Carrick and his staff and subsequently being dropped from the team.

Full quotes coming your way shortly.

It's strange isn't it, the first half was shocking, but the second half was a total different game.

I do believe when you are performing badly, which we all have done, but you go back to basics, you work hard, you go man to man all over the pitch, and you out run and you out fight the opposition. They did that second half, they started playing well, getting the chances and the [result] they looked like they deserved in the end.

Bruno Fernandes has shown a bit of passion in defending himself on what he thought was right, but more importantly we have seen that passion and fight on the pitch because the first half was terrible. The first half had none of what we saw in the second half.

No passion, no tackling, no getting to the ball, no aggression, and the complete opposite of the second half.

And when that happens in the second half, you see the crowd get behind the team and you felt like they were going to win the game.

Manchester United midfielder Youri Tielemans, speaking to Amazon Prime about the fans: "The whole game, even the last few months, they've been brilliant, they've been behind us. They have been frustrated with the results like us. The turnaround was brilliant, big mentality.

On what has changed: "We just kept working, we kept believing. We were on the front foot in the second half, we tried to push them into their goal and we succeeded."

On Michael Carrick: "There has been a lot of pressure on him and that's how we repay him, with a comeback like this, big character, big fight."

On whether this result has saved Carrick's job: "That's a different question. The only thing we can do is stick behind him, fight for him and fight for the club.

"At the end of the day we are on the pitch and we need to show what we are capable of and tonight, especially in the second half, we showed what we can do and we turned up the gears.

"Let's hope this is a good turnaround for us and let's hope we can build on this."

I think the narrative for Michael Carrick is absolutely perfect because what's happened is Manchester United have gone in, a vulnerable team, a team lacking in confidence, they've gone 2-0 down - now what's the reaction?

Now we've just seen the reaction, so we know it's in there. The team are fighting for the manager and they're fighting to turn results around. You've got to fight and show something. When you show fight and start to run for each other, you get more confident in each other and you start to believe that you can do something.

The Old Trafford fans and that crowd will have turned it up a notch in the second half as soon as that first goal went in and help the team believe that they could get something out of it.

It's a perfect night for Michael Carrick.

Just what did Michael Carrick say at half time?

Thirty second-half minutes that may just have saved his job. That must have been one heck of a team-talk.

We were questioning just what he would say but whatever it was, it clearly did the trick.

Great credit to Michael Carrick because they were down and out at half-time. They were everywhere in that first-half, and he had to change and tweak things.

I said what can he do, I didn't know where he would start, and he must have started in the dressing room, and pointing at a few people telling them to be brave and courageous and move the ball quicker, and run in behind and they did all those things in the second half and got their reward by getting their win.

This is what we were talking about. There needed to be a spark. I think they got a little bit of luck. I'm not sure the penalty was a penalty and then they get a retake, but you need that sometimes. That was the spark to set it all off.

The only bright spark there has been for Manchester United during these times has been Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha. I think this is hopefully the catalyst to show Man Utd that when you play with that energy and spark and desire and passion, you close down, you're running, this is what happens.

We heard the crowd, when their tails are up there's not many louder places to play in than that.

Michael Carrick's face doesn't give too much away but he pounds his chest, pumps his fists and that tells you all you need to know about how he feels about this club and its supporters.

Manchester United's players go to applaud their fans and for the first time since 10 September they can do so with three points under their belts.

Finally, those fans have something to cheer about.

You got the sense that once they got the first goal, it got everyone going again, and then the belief and confidence came back.

A first win in 10 games for Manchester United in all competitions.

That game had absolutely everything - has it also just saved Michael Carrick's job?

Roma have barely had a shot in this second half but Santiago Castro gets a header in the box and it's neither a shot on goal or an attempt to set someone else up.

A missed opportunity.

All over and Aston Villa are well beaten, but no shame in that against this Barcelona side.

Just what could this win do for Manchester United and Michael Carrick?

It has felt for some weeks like he is on borrowed time but has he just managed to find a bit more?

Aston Villa have the chance to get on the scoresheet as he drives towards the box but then gets far too much under his shot and the ball flies well over the bar.
