"It was just a couple of little tweaks in shape, maybe a couple of ideas, some things that we tried from the start that we wanted to tweak a bit. Honestly, it wasn't anything major really, I won't take much credit for that. I think the boys showed as the first half progressed, that it was on its way to being better. You have got to find a way in games sometimes, we wanted to make more runs and be a little bit more aggressive with attacking their backline."
"It was more, how do we react? It's been going in our favour, it was something I've been waiting for, this moment, to see 'go on then, what are we going to do about it?' The boys responded ever so well. It was a big thing for us."
"It's nice, obviously this place means a lot to me. To have so much positivity and everyone enjoying coming to the games and watching it, for me to have an influence on that, I'm not going to lie, of course it feels good. The players have got to take a lot of credit for that for what they put on the pitch. That connection with the supporters is huge, to feel that and for them to stay with us."
Manchester United secured a 2-1 victory despite falling behind in the first half, with goals from Bruno Fernandes' penalty and Benjamin Sesko's header. Manager Michael Carrick attributed the turnaround to minor tactical adjustments in shape and approach rather than major strategic changes. The team increased aggression in attacking the opposition's backline and made more forward runs in the second half. Carrick emphasized the importance of how the players responded to adversity, viewing it as a crucial test of character. The manager acknowledged the Old Trafford crowd's support and the connection between fans and players, crediting the squad's performance on the pitch while expressing gratitude for the supporters' loyalty throughout the match.
