Michael Carrick enjoyed one of his finest nights as a Manchester United player in the Champions League against Roma, scoring twice in a 7-1 win in the quarter-final, second leg in 2007.

The re-run here was all about his managerial survival at the club. The situation looked impossibly grim for him at half-time. Amid an atmosphere of continued fan anger towards the United ownership, Carrick’s team had been implausibly bad.

Roma took a 2-0 lead into the break and the truth was that the scoreline greatly flattered United. What happened next was a fightback for the ages.
