Kick-off here last night was delayed by what might only be described as a trophy presentation orgy.
There was one for David De Gea, conducted by Sir Alex Ferguson, in honour of his surpassing Manchester United's clean-sheet record. There was one for Mary Earps, named FIFA's best goalkeeper in the world on Monday, and another for Casemiro, who made it into the world's best XI. And then there were captains Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire parading the Carabao Cup in tandem, just as they had after beating Newcastle only three days earlier.
