But generally, and United are not frightened to go long to Brian Mbemmo, even if it's from Lamans, the goalkeeper.

If teams are pressing United, I've seen them do it at Old Trafford.

When teams press them, they're not frightened to go back to Lamans and he launches it.

He launches it and tries to launch it in the channels and Mbemmo will run in there.

And he's key to United doing that.

So I don't really see that changing anytime soon.

But in terms of Cesco coming off the bench and making an impact, it's the perfect scenario really for the United manager.

I think, you know, Shaka made a point, a very good point, actually, you know, albeit he's laying on a sun lounger in Trinidad as we speak.

Conveniently.

He's not bothered to come back.

Oh, there's a lot of snow.

Is he back?

No, he's not back.

But he made a great point the other week.

The glue.

He made a great point the other week.

He says...

Regardless of what happens with Michael Carrick, United have been such a mess with decision making that they have to be ruthless.

And even if it means Carrick does this great job, but they feel they have a much better candidate, whether it be Thomas Tuchel or whoever it is.

And that's all subjective at the moment and hypothetical.
