Manchester United finally returned to winning ways on Tuesday as they edged a Champions League classic with Roma, coming back from 2-0 down to win 3-2.
That has eased the pressure on Michael Carrick a little, with a nine-game winless run now in the rearview mirror, but next week's international break could still be a time of danger for the 45-year-old.
United haven't won in the Premier League since the end of August and Carrick could do with a victory against Aston Villa on Sunday to prove Tuesday's dramatic success wasn't a one-off.

Here are the answers to some of this week's questions:
Why has Shea Lacey not had a few more starts?
That is the question everyone is asking after his cameo against Roma on Tuesday night. Since his goal against Brighton in the Carabao Cup, the 19-year-old got four minutes at Como, when United were 4-0 down, and 12 minutes against Bournemouth, when they were 3-0 down.
It seems an odd choice to throw him on in games that are already dead and where things have totally unravelled, rather than giving him the chance to truly affect a match. Finally, that happened on Tuesday and Lacey showed what he can do.
With Amad struggling for form, there is an argument he needs to start on Sunday against Aston Villa, although the evidence so far suggests that is unlikely. Whatever happens, he needs to be handed a bigger role off the bench to influence a game.
Why does Carrick keep playing Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven in defence when they are costing us?
I actually think Yoro has improved this season after a shaky start. Yoro and Heaven really struggled in that Brighton game, but the Frenchman has bounced back since then and in an underperforming team, he has done well at right-back and when he's had the chance to play at centre-back.
Heaven has found it more difficult, however. These are difficult moments for a 19-year-old, especially when the defence is in a near-constant state of flux, and he was sold short by the tactical set-up against Roma, when he was given too much ground to cover.
United still have high hopes for Heaven, but he needs a chance in a settled defence to really show what he can do.
What is the latest on Marcus Rashford and could Carrick play him as a striker?
Rashford will miss the game against Villa as he continues to be troubled by a hip injury, but there is a chance he returns to action after the international break.
In terms of his position, I don't see him being used as a striker. He can play there, but he's made it pretty clear he doesn't like it and I think Carrick would rather go with Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha through the middle.
Can United sign a good striker and two central defenders in January?
I'd be shocked if they signed a central defender in January, given they have five on the books and all of them are fit at the moment. There will be change in that position in the summer, but I don't see it happening before then.
United will consider moves in January, probably on a short-term basis. It's clear they are short of a left-back and a striker and they will look for market opportunities in both positions.
Why is the team lacking a style of play? Look at Brighton, Arsenal, Bournemouth, etc.
I think this is a fair assessment; there isn't a clear style of play at the moment, and that is something Carrick and the coaching staff need to work on.
They had time to build game plans for each individual game last season, but that is harder to do now they are playing twice a week and the patterns of play you associate with the best teams aren't visible at the moment.
It's also felt like Carrick has been clutching at straws tactically and trying to find a formula that works during this dismal run, which hasn't helped him build an identity for his side.
