Such a high-profile double triumph saw the Red Devils vault into the top four and they are now back there, having temporarily dropped down to sixth after respective wins for Chelsea and Liverpool last night. It has also led to speculation that Carrick could yet be named as the full-time successor to Ruben Amorim in the summer, though there is plenty more football to be played before then. He did his chances no harm again on Sunday, with substitute Benjamin Sesko firing home a stoppage-time winner after Kevin’s spectacular goal looked to have earned battling Fulham an unlikely point.
