Manchester United have secured Champions League football for next season, and despite a disappointing draw away to Sunderland, they look on course to finish third in the Premier League.
Not too many fans would have envisaged such a remarkable turnaround in the teamās fortunes from the dark days of the Ruben Amorim era.
From individual stars benefiting from the change in regime to results picking up, there is a lot to be happy about with Michael Carrick in charge.

Why Michael Carrickās position could be under threat
The former United midfielder remains in pole position to get the job on a permanent basis, but INEOS are still expected to do their due diligence, including talking to other potential candidates.
One of them is Andoni Iraola of Bournemouth, who is expected to leave the Cherries at the end of the current season.
The Spaniard has been a breath of fresh air since his arrival on the South Coast, overseeing steady improvement at Dean Court.
From a 12th-placed finish in his debut season, Bournemouth subsequently finished ninth last season, and are currently sixth and on course to qualify for Europe for the first time in their history.
