Romano: Man Utd directors under pressure, Jason Wilcox's future in focus

According to Football365, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said the future of several Manchester United directors is "a situation we need to keep an eye on," with Jason Wilcox and other decision-makers facing pressure.

Manchester United ended their nine-game winless run in all competitions with a 3-2 comeback win at home against Roma in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty and Matheus Cunha scored twice, as United took all three points with three goals in the second half. Goals from Matías Soulé and Malen had given the Serie A side a 2-0 lead at halftime.

Romano said on his YouTube channel: "After a long time, Manchester United have finally won a football match. It is only their third victory of the season, and all three have come at Old Trafford. The first was in the Premier League against Ipswich Town, then in the Champions League against Sabah, and now they have come from behind to beat Roma on a Champions League night."

"There is more to say about this match, because we all saw what happened at Old Trafford: from 0-2 down to 3-2 up in the second half. It was a huge comeback and a crucial moment for Manchester United."

"This victory means one thing above all: Carrick will continue his spell as Manchester United manager. He will get more opportunities, starting with the next match, which, if I'm not mistaken, is against Aston Villa."

"Aston Villa's manager is Emery, and I've told you many times on the channel that Manchester United rate Emery highly as a coach and see him as a potential long-term manager."

"But I've also told you that Aston Villa have no intention of letting Emery leave, whether now, mid-season, or at any other time. Aston Villa love Emery, and everyone at the club has a very good relationship with him."

"At the moment, the possibility of Emery leaving Aston Villa mid-season is very unlikely and would not be easy. Aston Villa want to keep working with him, and Emery is very happy at Villa."

"But it's interesting that the next match is Manchester United against Aston Villa. This is an important moment for Carrick, because beating Roma was absolutely crucial. Imagine if they had lost another home game: it would have been very difficult and complicated for Carrick to keep his job."

"All signs indicate that Carrick will now get more opportunities, and this win against Roma will help him build momentum."

However, Romano stressed that "not just the coach, but the directors" are also under scrutiny, because their decisions have led Manchester United to their current situation.

Romano added: "Regarding Manchester United, besides this Roma match, we also have to look at the overall situation. United won, but we cannot forget everything that has happened so far, including the first-half performance."

"And there's the situation with the directors. At Manchester United, those who make the decisions are under scrutiny. That remains the case, because the club is still in a very difficult situation."

"Winning this game will help. Let's see what the reactions and next steps will be, including the match against Aston Villa."

"But this is certainly a situation we must keep an eye on, and it involves the directors, not just the coach. So this is an important night for Manchester United and for Carrick. We wait to see what happens next."
