Michael Carrick’s reign as permanent Manchester United manager was one of the shortest in the post-Alex Ferguson era 👔

You shouted. Loudly. Including you, @everton. We listened. Giving weight to both form and reputation in one list of the 50 best players in the Premier League was just too ambitious/silly/unachievable. So we’ve stripped it back, and are judging players purely on their form this season. And we’ll be back again next month. (Spoiler: there are no Manchester United players on this list.) 🔗 nyti.ms/3WxnLFK

🚨 Alexander Isak reveals his conversation with Eddie Howe that made him decide to choose Liverpool as his next club: 🎙️ Interviewer: “Your departure from Newcastle was extremely difficult. There was a breakdown in communication, you stopped reporting to the first-team squad and ended up training separately. What really happened? Alexander Isak: “It was a very difficult period, probably one of the most uncomfortable moments of my career. I had given everything to Newcastle, but at some point I felt the relationship between myself and the club was no longer moving in the right direction. “My conversation with Eddie Howe was important. I wanted clarity. I wanted to understand what the club’s plans were and whether we genuinely shared the same vision for my future. “I respect Eddie, but I also had to be honest with myself. I didn’t want to spend the best years of my career in a situation where every conversation became an argument and every decision created another problem. Interviewer: “Did that conversation make you realise you had to leave? Alexander Isak: “I think it made me realise that things had gone too far. I wasn’t happy with how everything was developing, and the situation eventually reached a point where I was training separately. “People can criticise me for how things unfolded, and I understand that. Newcastle supporters had every right to be frustrated. But I also wanted people to understand that a footballer’s career is short. You cannot ignore an opportunity simply because leaving is uncomfortable. Interviewer: “What did Liverpool offer that Newcastle couldn’t? Alexander Isak: “Liverpool showed me a different level of ambition. When I spoke with the people there, I understood the project, the expectations and what they wanted me to contribute. “Playing for Liverpool means competing for the biggest trophies. You look at the history, the supporters, Anfield and the responsibility that comes with wearing that shirt. I wanted that challenge. “And the coach also made it clear how he saw me fitting into his team. He wasn’t just interested in signing another striker. He explained how he wanted to develop our attacking partnership and make me an important part of the project. Interviewer: “Do you regret how things ended at Newcastle? Alexander Isak: “I will always appreciate the people who supported me there. But I won’t pretend everything was perfect. Sometimes a relationship reaches a point where both sides know things cannot continue as they are. “I didn’t leave because Newcastle is a small club. I left because I believed Liverpool was the right next step for my career. “I understand why Newcastle fans are angry, but I also hope they understand that I couldn’t spend my entire career waiting for the right moment to leave. I had a decision to make, and I made it.
