Fans incapable of understanding those that aren’t too sure of Carrick aren’t unhappy with the results. They’re questioning the sustainability of them through the level of performances. Almost as if we’ve already had 3 years of this exact situation very, very recently.

That mid block shit Carrick is doing is really rubbish btw

🚨Michael Carrick is giving the players freedom and play where you are best mentality but what about the intensity? Our intensity since he arrived and since that Manchester City game has drastically dropped. You can’t compare the way these players play and the way they played under Ruben Amorim. We need that intensity, we need that pressing. Michael Carrick has no standard and it is why Marcus Rashford would survive under him because he’s always giving that freedom to do whatever you know how to do best and whatever you like. That is not an Elite Coach’s mentality. We need to press aggressively, we need to hold ball and convert changes. Michael Carrick should not be our permanent coach. ‼️

If you think Kobbie isn’t one of the first names on the team-sheet because he ‘can’t run’ then your interpretation of football is skewed by this systemic era. His whole game is mastery > motion, he doesn’t have to run a lot to — anticipate better than ugarte — keep the ball better then ugarte — help the team more than ugarte — play quicker than ugarte — shield the ball better than ugarte — outplay in 1v1s better than ugarte Because he’s not a ‘runner’ he’s learnt to read the game in a different way, which is why he’s a better decision maker and can make well-timed defensive actions even though he’s not a defensively recognised player. Give him to any other coach in this league and he plays football consistently. Give him to any other fanbase and they’d cherish him. One of the best footballers at the entire club, comfortably, should not be having here-there minutes.

Carrick's current 11 game record is better than any 11 game streak you decide to pick across Amorim's entire time at United. If United lose today, Carrick's 12 game run will equal Amorim's best 12 game run. You can't reckon how bad Amorim was.
