  2. This place does magical things - Carrickpublished at 08:59 GMT

    Manchester United

    Despite Manchester United's terrible start, Michael Carrick still believed they could get something from the game.

    The head coach insists he is blocking out the external noise and remains fully committed to turning the club's fortunes around.

    "At half-time, I was wanting them to be more positive, if anything, and not get too disappointed and frustrated," said Carrick.

    "When you keep trying to do something, the easiest thing is feeling sorry for yourself. If something goes wrong, you get disappointed. That's not going to help anybody. We might as well all go home if that's the case. We've got to keep looking for the next moment, the next solution.

    "I don't like to keep talking to the lads about what this place can do and the history and what's gone before too much, but it's there.

    "This place does magical things, it's done it before and it'll do it over and over again at some point in the future. There's just something in this place that when we do have these types of nights, we do it the hard way.

    "But one moment can flip the whole place in a different direction. I spoke about that with the boys. Let's have one moment that can trigger it. And we had that."

    Stick with Carrick is the right way. Look at the Brighton fans, baying for him to be sacked last season after a long run of bad results. Wow, has he turned it round!

  10. Good morningpublished at 08:15 GMT

    And welcome to today's live football page, where we're looking back on a dramatic night in the Champions League.

    Manchester United's poor run of form looked set to continue as Roma went 2-0 up inside 17 minutes only for the hosts to make a thrilling fightback to win 3-2.

    That gave the Red Devils their first win in 10 games in all competitions and eased the pressure on manager Michael Carrick.

    So let's have a look at what the heck happened at Old Trafford.
