Round-up — 15 September

Derby fallout dominates: Pro Ref has conceded the winner should not have stood and stood two officials down, which changes nothing about the four points from four games. Brighton in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, Fulham on Sunday.

United sit 13th after four games

Four points from four — a 2-0 defeat at Hull, a 5-2 win over Ipswich, a 2-2 draw at Everton and Sunday's 1-0 loss to City — leaves Carrick's side 13th. The spread of those scorelines says the problem is not goalscoring but game control: one afternoon of five goals sits alongside a blank at Hull and two conceded at Everton. With Brighton in the cup on Wednesday and Fulham on Sunday, there is no window to rebuild anything structurally before the next two tests.
