Klopp takes on Red Bull role. Presumably on a huge salary but less of the day to day madness of being a club manager. Not sure how I would feel about it if I were a manager of one of the Red Bull teams.

I'm more concerned about the fact that Red Bull controls several teams in Europe.

Surprised that that was the starting line up, rather than something that was used as an experiment in second half. Not sure that Carsley has much credit in the bank now.

Be careful what you wish for is the maxim of the day. England fans were on Southgate's case for years about his unimaginative selections, but when his successor choses a radically attacking side and it all goes tits up, they are still not happy.

Still, at least it was only Nations League.

I find as each iteration of the Nations League happens, the less I care.

It was one of our better matches of late with a lot of players out.. And good game from Doak, though as this article covers he's a tad injury prone.

Dependent on results, think the Brentford match - 3 games, could be the one.

Perhaps been saved by the second half

Seems like a decent punt. Extends the run of non English official managers at Man Utd - last one was Ron Atkinson in 1986.
