There have been clearly a lot of good individual performances.

I thought Mainu was really good.

They were obviously heavily reliant on Bruno still for the creative part of the game.

I still don't see what Carrick is trying to make them.

There's been a lot of talk about returning to solid United values or whatever.

And from the games that I've seen of them under him, it's almost been quite a bit of a mishmash.

They've played a lot of games where against opposition, you'd expect them to beat the Leeds game, for example, or the Bournemouth game, where they just kind of get stuck.

And I don't know whether that's teething problems or whether it's almost a side that still has almost got a little bit of a free hit to the end of the season and are almost...

waiting for someone to stamp a kind of identity on them because I don't really see what they're trying to do yet.

But they've clearly made it into the Champions League next season.

I think that's almost mathematically secure.

So that's great for the cash machines.

I'm interested to see what they do in the summer because I still haven't quite got a sense of what they're trying to be.

Yeah, I don't think we know.

I think the job that Carrick has now is really different to the job that is going to await him next season.

And what happens when they go into their first dip?

Because obviously they're not good enough yet to go and get 85, 90 points and search the title.

There are going to be peaks and troughs.

And because of the way that noise is amplified, how does Carrick deal with that?

I think the Solskjaer parallels are kind of overdone a little bit.
