@mr_iklerz Our horrid style of football is mostly down to him. It’s pragmatism and moments with zero risk or excitement which coincidentally is exactly how Southgate’s England played which he helped coach.

Carrick without Holland is a scary thought our best feature under Carrick has been defensively we’ve been better and that’s all Holland if he goes….

One key consideration for #mufc around the possibility of Michael Carrick being given the job permanently is the future of assistant Steve Holland and whether he is also open to extending his stay [@RobDawsonESPN]

“Wary of Solskjaer repeat”
If Carrick ‘only’ manages to get us 2nd next season, into a cup final or two and gets us playing exciting football it’s not a bad thing at all.
Solskjaer with Ineos recruitment wins a title. Carrick can too. #mufc

Spot on here, I’m with continuing with Carrick. United only need a great man manager who understands the club and makes calm environments for players to get on the pitch and do their best. My favourite option would be Ancelotti but since he has signed new deal with Brazil
h@htomufc
From everything I’ve heard from the players, Carrick strikes me as a Carlo type of manger, someone who’s willing to let the players play with simple key details within his messaging. Question is, how far with that level get us/any team in the long run? I will say though, it’s the type of management a team like United has needed, someone who’s not emotionally reactive to every move and decision, he’s steady & calm. So similar to him as a player. There are questions about his style that I’ll 100% debate about but he empowers & galvanises a lot of players with calmness. Can be good & bad in moments don’t get me wrong.

@Gerardvale777 @UnitedStandMUFC Carrick hasn’t won a single thing and was sacked by Middlesborough for not accomplishing anything and playing horrid football so I’d make a different comparison.
English
@UnitedStandMUFC How can he be better has he won something, has he managed prima donas like the ones in united?

@ODonnellDale @jonathankm00 “Same reason we’re third right now” as I said. If Newcastle, forest, Chelsea and Liverpool were the levels they were last year we’d be nowhere near third and that’s just a fact.
English
@HirschReid @jonathankm00 That’s a poor argument as I’ve heard people say the Premier League is ‘poor’ this season. Does it not count?

@lukesellers98 We held 7 in liverpool and 4 to watford, won nothing, and played absolutely shambolic football lmao what are we talking about.

Crazy how Ole’s time is looked at. Some will never get it 😢

@AndrewFearn95 @__scottsaunders Joint 5th 3 points off 4th with no sign of a drop off in form but alright
English
@HirschReid @__scottsaunders We were 6th fella, and for what it’s worth 4pts off 15th… “what are you on about” 😂
English
I like Iraola. It absolutely makes sense to consider him. Hell, interview him. He's done a great job at Bournemouth.
We'll be right back to the coach demanding high intensity though (like Amorim did) with 15+ extra games next season. There's the whole question about if he can hack it at a club the size of United.
And I'll bet nobody remembers when Bournemouth went 11 games without a win in the Premier League literally a few months ago.
English
@AndrewFearn95 @__scottsaunders We were 5th when he got sacked what are you on about
English
@HirschReid @__scottsaunders “He had us in a UCL spot” fucking when? 😂😂😂😂
English
@AndrewFearn95 @__scottsaunders I think the idea that he “failed” isn’t exactly accurate. He had us in a ucl spot playing decent football and only got sacked because he spoke out about the board not backing him in january.
English
@__scottsaunders I’ve seen this notion that we couldn’t appoint somebody because he’d demand too much, and I just don’t agree that’s even a valid reason. He demanded standards, the players have spoken of the benefits of that. He failed because of his coaching, tactics and suitability to the squad
English
@macben_macszy @UtdFaithfuls Generally you’re right and I don’t think anyone would say no to Nagelsmann or Enrique but Carrick’s experience is a Middlesbrough sacking. Iraola plays some of the best football in the prem and was third in the league at the start of the season with Bournemouth. Moyes wasn’t.
English
@UtdFaithfuls This is like David Moyes moving from Everton to Manchester United in 2013.
Mid-table team managers and Big teams always don’t gel and it’s not difficult to understand why. We should go for an experienced coach at top level, if not I will stick with Carrick.

@Justin__nitsuj1 @UtdXclusive He’s not because wilcox doesn’t realize Shaw is only fit because it’s a world cup year.

@UtdXclusive “To challenge injury prone Luke Shaw” I’m sorry is Shaw not leaving in the summer ?

🚨 JUST IN: Manchester United are interested in signing West Ham’s 21-year-old Senegal left-back El Hadji Malick Diouf this summer to challenge injury-prone Luke Shaw. Diouf has impressed since a slow start at West Ham, who may be open to selling amid relegation worries.

@Itshaber We keep getting story after story that the players we actually need are “too expensive” because these owners don’t understand that in order to get best in class you need to pay for it. 2 midfielders isn’t enough and we will struggle next season with these clowns at the top.
English
At the start of this season, coming off the back of a 15th place finish, I would’ve been happy if United finished 6th.
We’re sat in 3rd and almost confirmed UCL football next season. I think it’s fair to say it’s been a good season.
The cup knockouts were embarrassing, and I honestly think we’re not even out of 3rd gear as a team. But we can build on this.
This summer needs to be big. With the increased load & losing a vital leader like Casemiro, if we don’t get this summer right we’ll struggle to retain top 6 next season let alone progress..
I’m quietly confident though, think the board have been getting a good majority of signings right since INEOS took over.
English
@HirschReid @markgoldbridge No one every compared Carrick to Enrique. It just isn't done. The truth in the matter is Enrique is the highest paid coach in the world. Would cost him 50mil in salary and another 40 for psg just to get him. No way we can afford that and he requires certain players
English
Real Madrid going for an experienced coach then
English
@terryflewers Mate the only reason we didn’t get smacked up in that second half was because of Lammens let’s be real.
English
Carrick deserves huge credit. That switch to a back 3at half time completely shut Brentford down. Outside of a wondergoal, they had little. That is top-level coaching.
This is also a team that has now scored in 22 consecutive Premier League matches, a run not seen since 2013. That is not luck, that is structure, patterns, and belief being drilled into the side.
And let’s not forget the noise around him. Doubts, criticism, people questioning everything he does. Yet he keeps delivering, keeps adapting, keeps getting results. People need to start giving him the credit he deserves
English
@MartienBall Then why aren’t you protesting the ownership for leaving the squad in this state?
English
No manager can play any kind of sustainable football with this squad. The fact that people still don’t understand that is honestly beyond me.
This squad is average. It lacks depth, lacks quality, still lacks physicality and overall it’s unbalanced.
Expecting better football with a squad like this just shows a lack of understanding of how football actually works.
If it was only about the manager’s quality, Luis Enrique wouldn’t have requested 20 new players at PSG, he would have simply worked with what he had.

This football isnt sustainable tbh but imma put it down to lack of technical players. We are too easy to attack/break down.
