Michael Carrick sacked by MUFC.
Top lad, got the team in the Champions League against expectations. Gave it his all, night and day. Protected others, never threw anyone under a bus. Worked in difficult circumstances. Leaves with head held high. I wish him and his staff the very best.

It is a sad reflection of modern football that the man who cares most about Manchester United, who will loyally, diligently again go into Carrington today to try and tackle the mess, is the one being eased out by those gathering in Monaco and via a link to Florida who don’t truly have United in their heart. Those who are primarily responsible for the mess.
Michael Carrick will leave the club sooner or later but the club will never leave him. United mean too much to him. He gave everything for the team in 464 games. His son plays for their academy. Being United head coach is not simply a job for Carrick, it's an honour he feels deeply proud of.
The manager who last season masterminded home wins over Manchester City, Aston Villa and Liverpool and away triumphs at Arsenal, Chelsea and Brighton has undoubtedly made mistakes this season. Diogo Dalot at left-back, not bringing Shea Lacey on earlier, etc. The poor run, and tumble into the relegation positions, inevitably means his job is on the line.
It is possible to understand why Carrick should lose his job but also why others should be held accountable, too. The decision on Carrick would be more palatable if it weren’t being formulated and then executed by Omar Berrada, Jason Wilcox, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the loathed Glazers. What good have they done to this great club? Debts and decline, holes in the roof and in the squad.
Carrick’s contribution to the history of Manchester United is substantial and his legacy secure – winning five titles and taking responsibility for a penalty in the 2008 shootout that helped win the Champions League.
At the very least, Carrick deserves to be treated with far more respect than is currently being shown to a dignified, hard-working individual as the clock ticks down on his departure. His exit is being handled appallingly by the club. Red man walking. At least United fans are showing all the class their board lacks. The Stretford End sings Carrick’s name because they know he is not the real problem.
It will be no surprise in weeks to come to spot Carrick standing, hood up, with United fans at an away game. They will welcome him warmly. He’s done it before, being a fan again. Carrick loves the club. He has ever since he was an apprentice at West Ham United, charged with keeping the away dressing-room tidy, and admiring how Alex Ferguson and his smartly-dressed collection of winners strode into the Boleyn Ground. They had an aura, and Carrick wanted to be part of that.
Carrick will leave the club physically, dismissed as much for the failings of underperforming players, those incompetents in charge of recruitment and the unpopular owners, as for his own undoubted mistakes. But Carrick will never leave United emotionally. It's sad that someone who cares so much will go, and those who don't care as much remain. #MUFC

🚨🗣️ - Kaveh Solhekol goes COMPLETELY IN on Sir Jim Ratcliffe live on air:
“I'm going to tell you who's to blame for this situation at the moment. The person to blame is Jim Ratcliffe.
“He bought the club almost three years ago. He bought 29% of it, when the Glazer family put the club up for sale. He didn't buy the whole club, he only bought 29% of it. And by buying 29%, it meant that the Glazers STAYED in place and Jim Ratcliffe got to run the football operations.
“He's come in and he said, 'I know better than anyone else how to run this club. We're going to do things my way.' And look what it's turned out to be over the past two and a half years.
“First of all, he said, 'I'm going to back Erik ten Hag. We've been chopping and changing managers too much.' Then he went off and started meeting Thomas Tuchel and any other manager who was available behind Erik ten Hag's back.
“When they couldn't find somebody else, they gave Ten Hag a new contract and money to spend. A couple of games later, Ten Hag loses his job.
“In the middle of the season, they beg Ruben Amorim to come to United. He doesn't even want to go there in the middle of the season; he wants to wait until the summer. They pay a fortune to get him, even though he plays three at the back, a totally different kind of football.
“Dan Ashworth doesn't want him. Dan Ashworth leaves, Ruben Amorim comes in, they go all in on Ruben Amorim. That doesn't work out. They get rid of him.
“They bring in Carrick as an interim. Okay, results are better. Then they give him the full-time job.
“In the meantime, Ratcliffe has come in and said, 'We're going to do things my way. No player is going to get paid 250, 300 grand a week here anymore. That's not going to happen. We're not going to sign any players for more than 60, 70 million pounds.’
“So Mateus Fernandes, Elliot Anderson, Harry Kane, Declan Rice, all these players, we ain't going to be signing them. And also, we're only going to be signing players with Premier League experience. And we're going to sign forwards one window, then the following summer we're just going to sign midfielders, then next summer we're just going to sign defenders.
“So this is Jim Ratcliffe's way of doing things. So he is to blame for this situation.”
TAKE A BOW, SON. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

So embarrassed for Carrick that he gave some big speech and then this is the reaction from the players. So so poor.

“Whatever system you play… If you don’t run, don’t run forward or don’t run back you’re not going to win”

🚨 Paul Scholes on Bruno Fernandes against Como:
“I’ve said before that Bruno Fernandes is part of Manchester United’s problem, and whenever I criticize him, the media comes after me.
He never seems to step up when his team needs him most. There’s always a complaint, always something to argue about, but when it comes to making a difference on the pitch, where is he? Honestly, it’s frustrating.
He was appointed captain of Manchester United, but watching him tonight, I didn’t see a captain out there. I didn’t see him take control of the game, rally his teammates or lead by example when things weren’t going their way. Being captain is about more than wearing the armband; you have to take responsibility when your team is struggling.
Tonight, Nico Paz showed the difference. When the stakes are high and the pressure is on, Bruno needs to be the player who takes responsibility and changes the game, but I didn’t see that from him.
I watched the entire match, and I genuinely struggle to point to anything significant he did. You can’t keep getting praised for your performances without delivering when it matters most.
At some point, he has to prove himself on the biggest stage. That’s where the best players separate themselves from the rest, and Bruno needs to show he belongs among them.”

🚨🎙️ Wayne Rooney on Bruno Fernandes’ post match statement about Carrick’s tactics:
🗣️"I listened to what Bruno said after the match, and to be perfectly honest with you, I think he’s completely lost his head. Standing in front of the cameras and throwing Michael Carrick and the coaching staff under the bus like that is unacceptable for any player, let alone the captain of Manchester United.
When you wear that armband, you stand up, take responsibility, and protect the group. You don't come out in public questioning the tactics and pointing fingers at the setup just to take the heat off yourself after getting beaten 4–1 by Como. That’s not leadership—that’s a player looking out for his own reputation.
And look, it’s obvious to anyone watching that Michael Carrick is losing the dressing room right now. When you see a team look that lifeless, conceding in the first two minutes, and then the captain goes straight onto television to openly slate the game plan, the authority from the manager is completely gone. The players have clearly stopped buying into what he’s telling them.
But Bruno needs to look in the mirror before pointing fingers at Carrick. He’s looking like a shadow of the player he used to be when he first arrived at Old Trafford. His performances over recent months haven't been anywhere near the level required, and frankly, he doesn't have the right to be talking about tactics when he's giving you nothing on the pitch.
If you’re going to call out Carrick's instructions, you’d better be delivering a 10 out of 10 performance yourself. But he was passive, he couldn't influence the game, and then he goes off the pitch to publicly undermine his manager. When the captain starts doing that, it completely destroys squad unity and proves the dressing room has shattered."

🚨Peter Schmeichel on Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Fulham:
🗣️ Peter Schmeichel: “Rashford should not be starting ahead of Cunha on the left wing anymore.
“Look at the goal Cunha scored today. That tells you exactly where he is most dangerous. He wants to start from the left, drive inside, get involved and attack the goal. That is where you get the best version of him.
“Rashford was a waste for Manchester United today. I’m sorry, but United should have won this game, and Rashford said no.
“The chances were there. The opportunities were there. United had enough to win the match, but when your forward keeps failing to take those moments, eventually it costs you points.
“And this is where I disagree with people who will immediately talk about tactics.
“This isn’t a tactical problem.
“It isn’t the shape.
“It isn’t the game plan.
“It is one player failing to do his job when the team needs him most.
“Today, Rashford proved he is a major problem for this Manchester United team if the objective is to achieve success.
“But Manchester United got a point today all thanks to Senne Lammens. He was outstanding. I think he is picking himself up after those bad goals he has been conceding, and his performance against Fulham showed real character.
“Michael Carrick has to be brave now. You cannot keep selecting players because of reputation.
“Lacey needs to start games. Baleba needs to come into this team when he is ready. Hopefully Amad is back by the international break too, because United need more intensity, more hunger and more competition for places.
“Another rubbish result. I don’t care that they equalised late. That’s five Premier League points dropped.
“There has been a lack of hunger, desire and intensity for too long now. It has been there since the Hull game.
“Carrick has to take responsibility, but the players have to look at themselves too.
“Manchester United cannot keep playing like this and expect success.”
