IAN LADYMAN AT THE LONDON STADIUM: Benjamin Sesko was already showing signs of becoming a proper Manchester United player before Michael Carrick walked through the door. So the current United manager can't quite claim the credit for that one. But Carrick can throw his hat on the growing feeling at Old Trafford that a season can turn permanently for the better and it was to absolutely nobody's surprise that his team retrieved a lost cause via Sesko's outstretched boot five minutes in to added time here in east London. This was not a particularly good United performance and had they lost to Tomas Soucek's 50th minute goal then they could not have complained. After recent days of adrenaline at Old Trafford‚ Carrick's team were a little flat back out on the road again.
