So maybe there is some fight left in the old dog yet?   At half-time, Manchester United looked down and out and Michael Carrick’s reign as manager as good as finished.   Roma were 2-0 in front and coasting, gorging on a truly desperate United’s litany of errors, and there was full scale mutiny in the stands at Old Trafford.   A fifth defeat in six matches and the club’s longest winless run for 48 years beckoned. It was toxic on and off the pitch.   And then something changed. United, from being a dishevelled, disorganised mess, suddenly seemed to remember who they are supposed to be and what they are supposed to represent.   Surrender gave way to fight. A team that had been feeling sorry for itself discovered some pride.   And a crowd that had been baying for blood turned Old Trafford into a bearpit of a very different kind and Roma simply did not know what had hit them.    This club has served up some famous comebacks over the decades but it was hard to think of too many occasions when the mood and momentum had shifted this violently from one half to the next.
