CHRIS WHEELER: Once the third goal went in and defeat was inevitable‚ the Stretford End launched into their tribute song to Michael Carrick and then turned on the people they blame for bringing humiliation on their football club. On the Glazer family. On Sir Jim Ratcliffe. On director of football Jason Wilcox. And‚ finally‚ on the players themselves. There is no doubt in their minds where the responsibility lies. No doubt at all that Carrick has been hung out to dry from the boardroom to the dressing-room.

CHRIS WHEELER IN COMO: Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes questioned Michael Carrick's tactics in the wake of the club's Champions League humiliation in Como. United were humbled 4-1 as their wretched season hit a new low and Carrick‚ who expressed his 'anger' at the performance‚ suffered his fifth defeat in 11 games. A week after Lisandro Martinez had taken aim at his Old Trafford bosses - and director of football Jason Wilcox in particular - Fernandes broke ranks to question why United were so passive again.

ISAAN KHAN AT THE CITY GROUND: Mikel Arteta hailed the way his Arsenal players managed to 'suffer' and break down Nottingham Forest's defensive 'Christmas tree' set-up to earn victory. Substitute Noni Madueke's 80th-minute strike sealed the match as Arsenal's only shot on target‚ with Arteta's bench once again coming to the rescue. The north London club dominated possession with little joy around the penalty area before four second-half changes‚ including Madueke‚ helped change the tide.

CHRIS WHEELER AT THE RIYADH AIR METROPOLITANO: On the eve of this test of Manchester United's character and his own managerial credentials‚ Michael Carrick asked to be given more time. When the heat was on in the Metropolitano‚ his team's resistance didn't last a single minute. There were 50 seconds on the clock when Pablo Barrios fired Atletico Madrid in front. At that stage you feared for United and you feared for Carrick. We probably still should. As the Atletico fans smelled blood‚ a fourth defeat in nine games this season seemed like the least of his troubles. It felt like United were heading for a mauling in Madrid‚ the like of which can cost a struggling head coach his job in the morning.

CHRIS WHEELER AT THE RIYADH AIR METROPOLITANO: Lisandro Martinez launched an extraordinary attack on the Old Trafford hierarchy and director of football Jason Wilcox over the club's transfer policy after Manchester United were beaten again in Madrid last night. Michael Carrick's side suffered a fourth defeat in nine games this season as they sank to a 2-0 defeat against Atletico Madrid‚ piling more pressure on the head coach. But Martinez defended Carrick and accused the board of failing him and the players by spending only £163million on new signings in the summer.

CHRIS WHEELER AT OLD TRAFFORD: For ten minutes before half-time‚ Manchester United were facing the unthinkable scenario of losing their opening two games of the season to newly-promoted Hull City and Ipswich Town. The visitors from East Anglia led through Leif Davis and were threatening to plunge Michael Carrick and his team into crisis before August is done and the transfer window has closed by winning here for the first time since 1984. There were several factors that changed the course of this game. There is no doubt that good fortune played a part‚ most crucially in the slip by Marcelino Nunez that led to United's equaliser and the bizarre decision that allowed Harry Maguire to get away with handball in the build-up to the second goal.

CHRIS WHEELER: Michael Carrick says it's 'ridiculous' to suggest Manchester United have been handed an easy start to the season - and admits it's asking a lot for his team to be considered title challengers. United kick off the campaign at Hull City on Saturday lunchtime followed by a first home game against another of the newly-promoted teams‚ Ipswich Town‚ at Old Trafford the following week. But Carrick has rejected claims that United have been given an easy ride‚ saying: 'There are no favourable starts. It's an easy thing to throw out there but pretty ridiculous.

Michael Carrick's side fell behind in the fifth minute when a cross from Arnau Ortiz crept inside Tom Heaton's left-hand post‚ and United were unlucky to still be a goal down at half-time after Jan Oblak saved from Luke Shaw and Amad Diallo‚ who was making his first appearance since playing for Ivory Coast at the World Cup. But Mbeumo scored a deserved equaliser and then a winner.

CHRIS WHEELER: As every megalomaniac finds out in the end‚ there comes a point in the power trip when the writing is on the wall. For the deplorable Gianni Infantino‚ that moment arrived after UEFA's 55 member associations made it clear they will not stand for FIFA's plot to sell off the World Cup to the highest bidders. UEFA will boycott FIFA competitions - including the World Cup itself - unless these preposterous plans are consigned to the dustbin where they belong. Concacaf followed suit with their 41 members also rejecting Infantino's plan.
