BBC chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering your questions.

Guy asked: The contrast in results from two Portuguese managers brought in late to pretty dire positions (Ruben Amorim and Vitor Pereira) is pretty stark - Sunday's game where Manchester United got a point at Liverpool being the exception. What has Pereira done that Amorim hasn't? Been more pragmatic? Used a tight squad?

Phil answered: Pereira has just injected freshness and momentum into a very talented squad that had lost its way under Gary O'Neil, while Amorim will be really heartened by the result at Liverpool - and don't forget he won at Manchester City as well.

It is far too early to make judgements on either. They have barely got their feet under the table at Molineux and Old Trafford. Next season will give us a more accurate measure.
