.@talkSPORT understands Mo Salah has effectively walked away from the last year of his £400,000-a-week #LFC contract to allow him to leave for free. With @JacobsBen
English

#mufc would be unlikely to move for Bruno Guimarães, with Newcastle determined to keep the Brazilian, and sources say talks are not at an advanced stage [@NathSalt1]

🚨🗣️ @AndyMitten on how ‘strongly positioned’ Manchester United are for Elliot Anderson:
"I would be surprised if he came, I hope he does. The competition for him is so strong and he’s in an extremely good position. Both Manchester clubs are interested."
English

@Damian_O_M @UtdForever7 Any formation can work with the right players, let’s see how Carrick does long term wise, I’m not expecting much
English

@mark_v1 @UtdForever7 Yes, we're winning because Carrick is getting the basics right. And we lost so many times under Amorim and couldn't even win back to back games because his system couldn't get the basics right. Which big team of United's size even plays a back 3?
English

@Damian_O_M @UtdForever7 We win now because we play basic football, that only takes you so far
English

@mark_v1 @UtdForever7 "would have started to win more". Yes, Carrick is actually winning more with the same squad. Your guy just didn't know how to win games.
Anyway, Carrick has guaranteed UCL football so now we can focus on our midfield targets
English

@Damian_O_M @UtdForever7 We would have started to win more under Amorim, Carrick ain’t a top manager, just short term winning at all cost football, that’s easy
English

@mark_v1 @UtdForever7 Amorim was averaging 1.6pts a game. Apply that to the last 10 games and right now we'd have 48pts. We'd be scrapping for 6th with Chelsea and Brentford. Carrick literally saved our season
English

@mark_v1 @UtdForever7 The guy couldn't even win back to back games so how exactly were we going to get 23/30 points like Carrick has?
English

@UnitedUpdates @RobDorsettSky Carrick simply ain’t that experienced high profile guy we need
English

🚨 Manchester United have not contacted any other candidates for the permanent manager role, boosting Michael Carrick’s chances.
However, United still want an experienced, high-profile option if Carrick isn’t chosen. [@RobDorsettSky] #mufc

🚨🚨🎙️| Michael Owen on Manchester United 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]

English

@Damian_O_M @UtdForever7 We’d have got top 5 with Amorim 100% and then pushed on again next season, instead we’ve got a championship manager to build with now
English

@mark_v1 @UtdForever7 If Amorim was around we'd be scrapping for 6th with Chelsea
English

🚨 JUST IN: Michael Carrick has exceeded expectations at Manchester United, delivering 23/30 points in the Premier League. He has not only settled a shaking ship but transformed morale and led a fragile squad into firm favourites for Champions League qualification.
Carrick remains one of the very top candidates under consideration for the permanent role, though not yet confirmed as the definitive answer due to the limited sample size, injury-impacted selections, and occasional questionable showings against compact sides like Bournemouth.

@UtdDistrict @RobDorsettSky @ManUtd No manager can handle the shite Amorim had too, it was unfair attacks
English

🚨 | If #mufc decide to appoint someone other than Michael Carrick, they are determined that it will be a manager of STATURE and experience, who can COPE with the magnitude of the job and the media scrutiny.

@henrywinter @carpbedlam White fell out with the previous staff. Fresh slate now
English

@carpbedlam depends whether you talk to England fans, Carp. Those I talk to were unimpressed by White turning his back on his country
English

Ben White's return to the England fold after his lengthy self-imposed exile borders on the insulting to Trent Alexander-Arnold, who continues to be overlooked by Thomas Tuchel at right-back.
Reece James injured, Kyle Walker and Kieran Trippier retired internationally and now the withdrawal of Jarell Quansah (seen as right-back cover by Tuchel). And Alexander-Arnold still not called. Real Madrid's right-back in the Champions League. A player whose passing can change games. A tournament shootout penalty-taker.
White drafted into squad because of injury to Quansah. Be interesting to see the reaction of England fans - let alone Alexander-Arnold. White has to explain why he turned his back on England for three and a half years. Expect some skilled FA video content.
Gareth Southgate said in March 2024 that White had indicated to him that he didn't want to be considered for England. There's always been speculation about a fall-out between White and Southgate's assistant Steve Holland (Southgate denied this).
Tuchel clearly doesn't rate Alexander-Arnold, a situation that gets ever stranger. White obviously a more defensive full-back; can get forward but lacks Alexander-Arnold's impact. He did well when coming on for Dani Carvajal against Atletico last night. Made Vinicius Junior's second goal.
Harvey Barnes, who has one cap, comes in for the injured Eberechi Eze for the squad to face Uruguay on Friday and Japan on March 31. #ENG
English

@henrywinter Clearly Trent isn’t being picked, what’s with the surprise. Trent will cost us defensively in a big game in the summer and Tuchel is avoiding that
English

#mufc have held internal discussions about keeping Casemiro at the club beyond the end of the season [@rtiesporte]
English

🚨Marcus Rashford has just one start in the last eight games for Barcelona, while Alejandro Garnacho has started only three matches and has already been benched nine times this season at Chelsea.
Both players were pushing for guaranteed minutes at Manchester United. They wanted to be treated as undisputed starters. But now they’re settling for far less at their new clubs without the same noise.
That’s why Ruben Amorim deserves credit. He didn’t give in to the attitude, refused to keep players who expected places without earning them, and ultimately moved them on. It wasn’t the easy decision, but it helped reset standards of the club today.
No matter who the manager will be next season this standard has to continue and no one needs to be a guaranteed starter without earning the spot in the starting lineup.
