United Beat Roma: Does It Change Anything?

#1065 | Manchester United finally won, beating Roma 3-2 after nine games without a victory. Ed and Daniel pick through the comeback from two goals down. There are plenty of issues to discuss.

Although United started the game poorly, was it the first time all season the team looked balanced? Tielemans played a part in the winner, how will Baleba’s injury impact the team and has Leny Yoro made a case for a place at centre-back? Is Amad’s spot now Lacey’s to take? Can Cunha build on his goals when confidence has been short this season?

Then the conversation widens. A green and gold balloon protest opened the night. Do protests change anything with owners who rarely face the public?

With Aston Villa on Sunday possibly Michael Carrick’s last game, who might replace him: Emery, Nagelsmann, Conte, or Eddie Howe? And with United 17th in the Champions League table, what do they need to reach the playoffs?
