'Take the red-tinted glasses off... Man Utd need to make a managerial change'

Manchester United fan Beth Tucker says questions remain about the team's performances and identity, and that a replacement for Michael Carrick is still necessary to move forward.

"As happy as I am, we cannot allow one result [against Roma] to cloud our judgement of where this football club is right now," she said. "You have got to take the red-tinted glasses off.

"I don't suddenly think we have turned a corner tactically. I thought in and out of possession we were terrible against Roma. A lot of times it was hit and hope, and the players didn't have a clue what they were doing or how they were setting up.

"When we get to the final third we don't know what to do. That first half was dreadful.

"We were second best and all over the place defensively. Roma could have easily scored more than two. We looked like a team with absolutely no confidence and no identity.

"If we didn't have the Bruno Fernandes penalty retake it could have been massively different.

"I still want Carrick to succeed, but I do believe that Manchester United need to make a managerial change in the international break.

"If we can somehow get two wins on the bounce against Roma and Aston Villa, that is brilliant and what this club needs. Let's build positivity and let's get the confidence back into the squad - but let's give that to the next manager.

"Bring someone in who, tactically and experience-wise, can take this team to the next level."
