It has been a week of talk about the winners under Carrick, but after coming to life under Darren Fletcher, Benjamin Sesko (right) was reduced to a watching brief.

The Slovenian scored three goals in two games in Fletcher's brief caretaker spell and looked reinvigorated by the Scot. He took him to one side on his first day in the job and gave him a confidence-boosting rundown of why he was doing all the right things at United.

Keep making those runs and the goals will come was the message, and they came immediately.
