David Jones

And he was able to give Kobi Mainu his first start to the season.

Sucks that four at the back, which Darren Fletcher had turned to after Ruben Amrim had departed.

And it all worked perfectly here today against Manchester City.

Does that level of performance, Roy, take Manchester United back into the Champions League?

I may as well be the first to ask this question because I suspect that it's going to get asked a lot over the next course of 17 games.

But if that is the level and if they continue to produce performances like that, why not Michael Carrick long term?

I said before the game and I say it now, I think he, why not give him an opportunity?

Like I said before, you've got

managers who we consider to be top, top level managers, the greatest managers, we talk about Guardiola, Zidane, Arteta at the moment, those guys manage teams, you know, the B team of Barcelona, the B team of Real Madrid and an assistant to Pep Guardiola and they went and had amazing success at top football clubs.

So,

For me, I think the timing, you know, could you argue, cool, yeah, there's bigger names that are going to be available.

If he builds something here in these next 17 games, what would be the point of bringing someone else in to build off what he's built?

Like, give him an opportunity.

He might grow into becoming a top-level coach, and we go, fantastic.

Like, I like the fact he's an English manager, he's getting an opportunity, and today was a performance that you look at and you go, listen, if this man can build something...

He deserves it for me.

I don't see the point in looking elsewhere.

You can always say, that looks good.

Oh, yeah, that looks nice over there.

You know what?
