🗣️ “Leave the football before the football leaves you.” 'This brutal verdict on Casemiro’s display that night – and his contribution up until that point in his Manchester United career – has been thrown back at me with increasing regularity and even some amusement this season, particularly as he edges closer to his United exit' In retrospect, does @Carra23 regret his comments about such a legendary footballer? Yes and no 👇 telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/…

Excl: #MUFC plan to offer Michael Carrick an initial contract of 2 years until June 2028 with a 1 year option to extend. No formal negotiations have begun so no agreement yet. The 44 yo has been involved in recruitment meetings for the summer. @UtdDistrict roundtable.io/sports/soccer/…

From my understanding: the current state of play on the managerial market - as of the moment i'm writing this: Unai Emery: Emery is expected to stay at Aston Villa. United and a few other clubs had interest. He's playing a big part in transfer discussions for the summer for Villa. Andoni Iraola: Chelsea have him as their second option behind Alonso with Palace trying everything they can to acquire him - some big fees thrown around I hear. @NathSalt1 has reported today that he's been ruled out the United job. Julian Nagelsmann: He was one of the names which was loved internally at #MUFC. If the world cup wasn't on this year, I honestly believe we could be having a different conversation at the moment. But the world cup put a major stamp on any progression. Luis Enrique: He's closing in on a new contract as PSG as reported a few weeks back. Marco Silva: Fulham are trying everything to get him to sign a new deal I'm told. His entourage has been reaching out to other clubs. He has big personal ambitions. Also on #CFC's list. Enzo Maresca: If / when Pep leaves, Maresca will take charge of Man City. It is all but done on the Maresca side, as they await Pep’s decision - as reported by @HandofArsenal. Xabi Alonso: Alonso has held positive talks with Chelsea officials over the managerial role for next season. He is keen to return to managing. He is Chelsea's number 1 target as reported by @MaxFSport Oliver Glasner: He has attracted interest from Germany. His personal preference was to initially manage in the premier league and while this is still possible, interest from English clubs have cooled. At least two German clubs hold an interest in him. My report from yesterday regarding Michael Carrick remains the same with the expectation to be offered the #MUFC permanent head coach role barring any last minute decisions. The club insist no final decision has been made yet as they go through a 'thorough process'.

@Toytweets_ Even the PL buying, like it’s proven to work so I get it but could you not have done somet more engaging than Madueke for 45 odd million or whatever. That’s just boring. And I like the player too, but nah. come on.

@Adroit_Cadet He looks more like a high-volume stabilizer with selective penetration than a pure tempo dictator. in build up he is better in the sense of volume and structure, less good in the sense of creativity. he passes selectively rather than relentlessly.
