Just another legacy fan

Michael Owen on #mufc potentially deciding not to continue with Michael Carrick at the end of the season: “Imagine if you got rid of Michael Carrick, just imagine it, and you brought in whoever – I don't care who it is, even a born winner, somebody they've already had, that type of manager. Imagine if things started spiralling, started going poorly again; the ownership would get absolutely lynched. I'm astounded by certain people saying no, they shouldn't appoint him. Astounded. Why on earth is this even a question? I don't get it. I'm not saying, “go and give him a 10-year contract, everything's perfect”. But bloody hell, what more can he do? You've just got to let this roll. This Manchester United team look like they're on the way back at this stage. Why would you interfere with anything? How on earth can anybody say that he shouldn't continue. What's the worst that can happen? You give him a two-year contract. He starts the next season, for the first three or four months he loses every game and he's useless. He can part company with the club If the league started when Carrick took over, Manchester United would be top of the league. We're talking at this stage now, we'd be a third of the way through the season and Man United at the top of the league. You'd be thinking, well, can they win the league?” [@ChrisWheelerDM]

Andy Mitten on Manuel Ugarte’s transfer to #mufc in summer 2024: “At that time, United wanted [Sofyan] Amrabat to stay on and Erik ten Hag was up for that. I think Ugarte was wrapped up in the Leny Yoro deal as they both share the same agent, Jorge Mendes.” [@TOTDevils]
