SECOND place! Can Carrick’s Manchester United finish that high?

Following the third positive weekend in a row for Michael Carrick as Manchester United manager, Rio is joined by Ste Howson and Joel Beya to analyse what’s different about the players and the performance.

There’s discussion about the difference between Kobbie Mainoo and Adam Wharton following another impressive performance by the United academy graduate along with the reasons behind the improvement shown by Sesko and why there’s so much love from all his team mates.

Bruno Fernandes has been one of the most consistent players in the Premier League over the last 6 seasons so Ste compares the level of credit the Portuguese midfielder gets compared to another player who performed well individually in a poorer team - Steven Gerrard.

Rio also reveals why he feels Liam Rosenior is getting unfairly treated for the things he says to the media and why Arteta doesn’t really mean that he wants his players to play with more freedom and why Kai Havertz’s return from injury is a huge positive for Viktor Gyokeres.
