Michael Carrick got off to a flying start as Manchester United manager with an impressive 2-0 win against their cross-town rivals Manchester City. But his interim appointment only serves to highlight a bigger issue lingering in the background of the fallen giant. Elsewhere, Spurs and Thomas Frank's woes roll on, with a decision on the Danish manager's future set to be made, while Unai Emery delivered a raft of bizarre comments in a wild post-match interview following his side's 1-0 loss to Everton.

Michael Carrick has Manchester United DNA and, just one game into the interim head coach role at Old Trafford, is being heralded as the club's savior, while the absence of any Tottenham Hotspur DNA in Thomas Frank's background or football philosophy means he is now fighting to save his job. OK, it's not quite that simple, but it is heading that way.

The Portugal international had closed down Jeremy Doku by the touchline. He stretched out a leg to try to intercept the ball but made contact with his studs on the knee of the Manchester City winger. Referee Anthony Taylor booked Dalot. The video assistant referee (VAR), Craig Pawson, backed up the on-field decision saying the contact was "glancing and not with excessive force".

Osimhen has been linked with a transfer to Old Trafford and the Premier League for several seasons, but last month appeared to end ongoing speculation over his future last summer with a 65million move to Galatasaray, following a successful loan spell from Napoli. The Nigeria international has been prolific in Turkey, scoring 49 goals in 57 appearances, which is in stark contrast to the figures put up by the likes of Joshua Zirkzee for United in the same period.

There may be a longer wait for the next Manchester United managerial appointment than in previous summers of change: the club will consider candidates who are in charge of teams at the World Cup finals, many of whom will be working into July.

Wangerheim, who arrives from Hammarby, has been in remarkable form this season, scoring nine goals and assisting a further seven in 16 appearances. The 21-year-old has signed a three-year deal with United. I am so excited. It feels amazing to be here, said Wangerheim. It's a huge club with big history. Sitting here in this shirt is a proud moment for me. It's always been my dream to move abroad and to play in another country, in Europe and in a really big football club.

He's on the beach two weeks ago Jonny Evans. Jonny Evans leaves Man United four or five weeks ago as a loans manager and then Darren Fletcher gives him a job, strangely enough gives him a job. He has two games, Fletch goes and Carrick gives him a job, great isn't it. We should all go to Barbados for a week. What has Jonny Evans done to be a coach of Man United's first team?
