@Anasssssssss8 @utdrobbo What’s your point exactly? I still think hackney is a better passer than Mainoo

There really isn't a better role for the development of Kobbie Mainoo than how Michael Carrick used Hayden Hackney as the uber-technical, box-to-box midfielder at Boro.
As the deeper option in a staggered midfield, you can maximise his elite (rare) small space ability & press resistance to ramp up those progressive numbers without asking him to do anything outside of his normal game of making short, accurate passes.
And that is the main area of his game that I expect to sky rocket — passing volume. Whilst this will likely correlate with an increase in touches as the deeper/linking midfielder in a possessional play system, I do think that we will also see an increase in the speed of his release to match his processing ability in order to punish unsettled defences.
In terms of flipping roles with his pivot partner & becoming the receiver instead of the passer, that too works well. It's rarely spoken about how much HH carried the ball under MC — ranking in the 98th, 99th & 94th percentile for carries — which would (obviously) suit KM's dribbling ability whether that's carrying into open space or taking on his man.
The most exciting thing is that this would probably be the closest we've seen to his role in the academy where he ran the show in all phases of the game.

30 seconds on my favourite Carrick detail at Boro 👇 The way the two CMs connected through the press — one drops in front of it, one moves behind it.

@OOCChelsContent What have I just listened to 🤣. Please tell me the guy in the vid was taking the piss because there’s no way he believed that
English
@ElijahKyama_ There’s literally no problem, I don’t see which top manager in world is going to see Bruno and Mainoo and question which one is the better, Mainoo Isn’t half the 10 bruno is and that’s me being generous. Let’s see what the future holds

@utdtribune I don’t get why so many people
Have dorgu at rw he’ll never play there when everyone is back

Mazraoui De Ligt Heaven Amass
Casemiro Ugarte
Amad Bruno Dorgu
Mbeumo
This is the way from here

My preferred set up under Carrick.
Lisandro Martinez playing as a DM alongside Ugarte, making those line breaking passes while being press resistant.
Ugarte and Casemiro can interchange as substitutes.
Bruno and Kobbie can interchange as substitutes since Carrick profile Kobbie as an attacking midfielder.
Yoro and Heaven holding the defence and Maguire can come in to regain match fitness.

United’s best Defensive Midfielder is hiding in defence as a centreback in plain sight and his name is Lisandro Martinez. United keeps on buying DMs who can’t pass while their best ball-playing No.6 is hiding at centre-back. If Lisandro Martínez played DM, half of United’s ‘midfield problems’ would instantly disappear. Lisandro Martinez has elite ball progression, he breaks lines with passes better than most midfielders. As a DM, he’d control tempo and resist the press. He reads danger early, steps into passing lanes, and tackles before duels happen—key for a modern day No.6 and also comfortable receiving on the half-turn, even under pressure. The advantage of this also, it frees an 8 (Mainoo, Bruno) to play higher without exposing the back line also Kobbie Mainoo can come on as a sub for Bruno in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Lisandro Martinez aggression, vocal, high standards. That bite in midfield sets the tone and can give that midfield a command that’s it’s lacking. Lisandro Martinez at Ajax was initially a DM and Lisandro Martinez has played as a DM under Amorim (if I’m not mistaken, in the second half against wolves) and it worked, I was sad and annoyed Amorim didn’t continue to use him as a DM. Lisandro Martinez is just being misprofiled.

@OrangeMan903 @topdawgphase5 @MartienBall 🤣🤣 you man brain can’t be so thick. How is it outside things when it directly affects the performance? Almost Everything that happens with the club outside of the field has an impact on the field. For example setting better standards and holding players accountable.
English
@topdawgphase5 @RedDevilsOTW @MartienBall Leave him
Let him be judging manager based on outside things.
lol
English
I didn’t support Ruben Amorim just because he’s Ruben Amorim.
One of the biggest reasons I supported him is because the only way to break this cycle is by giving managers time.
And yes, if that makes me “Manager FC” then so be it. It's not about formation. It's not about tactics. It's way deeper than that.
If you still haven’t realised that the issues are so deeply rooted that no manager can fix them without at least three full seasons, then respectfully, you’re too young to understand football.
English
@OrangeMan903 @MartienBall Clearly you’re not getting it. The only manager that attempted to uproot the real issues got sacked. All the others you mention were enabling it.
English
@MartienBall So why didn’t you give Moyes 3 years?
Why didn’t you give Ole three full seasons?
English
@AliceTalksFooty 🤣… I swear, these pages just copy and paste each others stuff and they are so loud like they know more about the game than anyone else.. you can’t tell me half of these any ChatGPT responses 🤣. I’d love to sit and listen half of you lot analyze a game in real time
English
Looks like it will be Carrick then, how will his setup Man Utd?
Base structure
- Defend in a compact 4-2-3-1
- Attack using a 3-2-5
Build-up transition
- One fullback (usually LB) moves forward to support attacks
- The opposite fullback drops inside to create a back three (Maz could do this well). Or maybe play Licha LB and do this the other way.
- A holding midfielder positions ahead of the defence to aid build-up
Attacking movement
- The striker drops off to pull defenders out (suits the profiles we have).
- The AM (Bruno) runs forward into the space
- One winger holds the width (we might struggle with this as have 0 touchline wingers in squad, Amad/ Mbeumo prefer coming inside).
- The other winger moves inside to overload central areas
- The advancing fullback delivers crosses into the box.
Areas for concern
- Midfield options for build-up aren't really there.
- No touchline wingers that like to hold width, or natural LW.

@FathalliMo funny coming from you ain’t a X tactico ain’t it? 🤣🤣. Keep doing your thing man. You’ve always got the imbeciles hooked
English
@RedDevilsOTW We get it lad, you presumably kick a ball. No need to turn it into a public “look at me” routine.
English
@FathalliMo Mate that’s your entire content 🤣. A 5 year old who is playing in any structured program can point out the stuff you do. I forgot your followers might be imbeciles who’s never been coached at any level or played the game
English
@RedDevilsOTW In today’s episode of “Comments That Add Absolutely Nothing.”
English
@UsmaanTalkUTD Was he 15th when they sacked him? You man just think progress happens overnight always looking for a quick fix. Shows us how great your IQ is
English
He finished 15th with 30% win rate. Amorim fans might be the lowest IQ fans on the internet. He was clearly not good enough.
steveojw79@SteveWheeler79
@UsmaanTalkUTD Amorims formation didn't work again today did it
English
@Amad16FC When he’s talking about moving the ball with tempo who do you think mainly he’s talking? Mainoo, yes he’s composed but he’s not the player who is going to control a game yet, he looks composed and calm but he can’t be the main deep lying player way too passive
English
@bethTmufc Just as a back 3 won’t work with proper backing and time a back 4 won’t work with proper backing and time. We were few points off too 4 but because we didn’t look like prime Barca it was a problem, some projects take longer than others. Now we are truly fucked.
English
We were awful under Amorim and we’re awful without him. Honestly, people forget the Europa League final and the Grimsby game?
The whole club is a shambles right now.
MattyFC@MattyFC__
people begged for this by the way
English
@UtdBart Trust me buddy you’re not ready for what’s coming 🤣
English
We've been extremely average.
Yet, still better than anything we saw under Amorim 👍
English
@sulkfenomeno That was stupid from him the same rules apply don’t blame the ref

@SaeedTV_ The joy you man thought you’d had sacking another manager will never come
