It's just over a week since Sir Jim Ratcliffe came out with his claim that the United Kingdom had been "colonised by immigrants".
Ratcliffe offered a qualified apology amid the storm of protest at his comments, with United themselves issuing a statement highlighting the inclusivity work they are engaged in.
As United were knocked out of the FA Cup in the third round by Brighton and are not in Europe this season, today is the first time Michael Carrick will sit in front of the media since then, and he is bound to be asked about it.
While many may feel it is not a subject for a football manager to discuss given they were Ratcliffe's personal views and Carrick's job is to win matches – United are at Everton on Monday – there is the issue of his squad, which comes from players from so many countries and differing backgrounds.
They have not always earned huge sums of money and I remember former winger Antony talking about growing up in acute poverty in Brazil, when he lived in a favela.
It is fair to think United's players have a view on Ratcliffe's comments and to ask Carrick about it.
Navigating through controversial subjects is standard for modern day elite managers and, as Jose Mourinho has experienced this week, it can lead to huge criticism.
