🤔 𝗗𝗘𝗕𝗔𝗧𝗘: Should Michael Carrick get the Manchester United permanent job?

🚨 Jamie Carragher earlier this season: “My top six this season will be: Liverpool top of the league, I’ll go Arsenal second, I’ll go Man City third, I’ll go Chelsea fourth, I’ll go Tottenham fifth, Newcastle sixth.” Reporter: “Where is United?” Carragher: “I think United will finish ninth.” 😂

🚨Jose mourinho on Manchester United and Michael Carrick : “At Manchester United, the problem is not always the players, not always the results—it is sometimes the decisions. Too many times the club looks outside for answers, chasing big names, big reputations, but football is not about reputation, it is about understanding. Michael Carrick understands this club. He doesn’t need time to learn what Manchester United is—he already knows. He has been inside the dressing room, he has won everything there is to win, and he knows what the fans expect when they walk into Old Trafford. You can bring in managers with big CVs, with big egos, but if they don’t understand the soul of the club, they will always struggle. Carrick has something you cannot teach—connection. So for me, it is simple: instead of making another ‘clever’ decision, maybe the club should make the obvious one… and finally trust one of their own.”

Not proper football. Way too aggressive. Leakier than sieves. Arteta’s Attritional Arsenal will grind down either of them.

Gary questions whether Michael Carrick is the right man for United beyond this season... 👀 Where do you stand? 🤔

No but seriously, what happened to Mbeumo and Amad at AFCON? They haven’t looked the same since they came back…

Your weekly reminder that Ruben Amorim didn’t rate Kobbie Mainoo. 🤯

Getting the job done 👊

🚨🎙️ Roy Keane on Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho after United’s win: “Both Kobbie and Garnacho were promising talents at Manchester United, but one let ego ruin him. Garnacho has the ego of Zlatan Ibrahimović—without the ability to match it. [laughs] Diogo Dalot had him completely locked down, and I loved that. Then you look at Kobbie… he was absolutely brilliant. He dominated the midfield, bullied Moisés Caicedo and the rest. That young lad, Mainoo… he gets it. No nonsense, no drama—just football. He’s calm, he’s brave, and he takes responsibility. That’s what Manchester United players used to be about.”
