Michael Carrick needs to rethink a tactic that was to blame for Roma's goals against Man Utd earlier in the week.

Railston believes full-back Diogo Dalot was unfairly blamed by supporters when simply following instructions, warning Carrick not to repeat the approach against Aston Villa. He compares Carrick's tactical struggles to Erik ten Hag's difficulties in transitioning United into a possession-dominant team.
