Since Michael Carrick has taken over, as if United fans need any reminder, let's just show exactly how he's done it, of course.

That win in the derby against City, going to Arsenal winning 3-2, that late victory against Fulham, and of course that comfortable victory this Saturday against Spurs.

How's he done it?

Well, Mario Malchio joins us, but we're also joined by Dimitar Berbatov.

Dimi, what is the key?

What's the secret sauce?

You know Michael Carrick.

How has he changed this team around so quickly?

When you played with him, did you think this is a future Manchester United manager?

So is it, Stevie, as simple as keeping it basic and talking to your players?

That just seems not amateurish, but too simple, I suppose.

He's called people worse, don't worry.

So how can Amarino have got it so wrong, Mario?

Dimmy, do you give him the job permanently?

A lot of people, as you mentioned, are comparing his run to when Solskjaer first came in, Dimi.

Is that fair, saying, yeah, he had a good run at the start, but then look what happened afterwards.

He was out of his depth.

So let's wait and see.

Of course, a lot of the players' form has turned around since Carrick comes in, including Cesco.

Am I right, Demi, that you spoke to him, that Carrick asked you to speak to the striker to give him some advice?
