Andrey Santos - Deal came out of the blue through David Ornstein
Youri Tielemans - Deal came out of the blue through David Ornstein
Carlos Baleba - Deal came out of the blue through David Ornstein
This isn't about David Ornstein. This is about INEOS.
No rumor, no public talk, no hear say.
Ground work done BTS and it goes straight to the media as a done deal.
Jason Wilcox, Omar Berrada, INEOS, you have done so well this summer.
Took away the noise, no leaks, this is a job well done ❤️

Against Japan, Pochettino's USA demonstrated how
POSITIONAL FLUIDITY
—can break through a press. Pulisic dropped deep, creating space for Max Arfsten to move inside.
—A quick pass and lay off from Balogun allowed Arfsten to escape pressure and launch a counter-attack.
Pochettino encourages CONFIDENT BUILD UP,
—but he's also adaptable enough to recognise when his squad cannot take those risks.
Pochettino is also TACTICALLY FLEXIBLE. While his preferred system is a 4-2-3-1, he has used back-three formations at Spurs and with the USMNT.
Against Portugal, his side built up in a 3-2-5 SHAPE, with Antonee Robinson pushing forward, Alex Freeman moving inside and the attacking players rotating positions to create space and opportunities.

I love the outrage from most Manchester United fans in regards to Mauricio Pochettino appointment.

This one just feels so right.
🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Sir Alex Ferguson wanted Mauricio Pochettino as a potential replacement for Louis van Gaal back in 2016.
The pair shared a £114 bottle of wine over lunch, where Ferguson explained how he rebuilt Manchester United and encouraged Pochettino to trust his own approach.
Ten years later, Pochettino is now a front-runner for the United job.

overly rigid and predictable
everyone including dembouz sees what a Terroroist Luis Enrique is
please Nasser get him OUT!
🚨| NEW: Ousmane Dembélé’s relationship with Luis Enrique is increasingly tense and strained. Luis Enrique remains extremely furious about Dembélé getting a red card vs. Bayern and his attitude.
Luis Enrique is now fed up with what he views as actions worthy of an inexperienced player from Dembélé. Meanwhile, Dembélé still hasn’t understood why he was dropped from the squad against Arsenal. He doesn’t understand why he was the only one punished while other players who have been late this season faced no punishments. This perceived double standard has not sat well with Dembélé.
Privately, in recent months, Dembélé has also expressed confusion about Luis Enrique’s tactical approach. He feels the team’s style of play is overly rigid and predictable. A well-informed source from the locker room says: “I think Luis Enrique has lost Dembélé.”
Furthermore, Randal Kolo Muani not playing at all has raised further questions within the locker room. @Tanziloic
What a 18th place position for him Henry.
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

They tryna act like he didn't get any signings at all.
If he wasn't cool with the window, the least he could have done was demand for more publicly, but he acted cool.
Got himself back a player that should have been gone to free our wage bill.
One win in the PL at this stage of the season.
This is not even Manchester United level in our worst spell.
He got 155m and the return of a very costly winger he wanted back. He got a squad that was in 6th and finished 3rd.
We are in relegation my man. Relegation. This isn’t a blip. It’s 30% of a season and the fewest wins of any team in the Premier League. We aren’t talking about being in 8th.

Tous les clubs européens se sont arraché les cheveux avec les demandes de la famille de JJ Gabriel ces derniers mois
Sans un tel talent, aucun club n'aurait continué à parler à son entourage car c’est « ingérable » pour reprendre le mot qui circule dans le milieu
Espérons que la raison l'emportera à Madrid car personne n'a de doute sur les qualités footballistiques du jeune anglais
Same way we went to Sporting to tear AMORIM'S contract.
Go to Como and tear Fabregas’ contract and bring him to Old Trafford. All this Eddie Howe, Pochettino talk is nonsense to me. If we can’t get Fab then Emery I’ll take but it’s also a big gamble considering he was at Arsenal and didn’t do anything special there. Fingers crossed though, let’s see if INEOS will get it right this time 🤞🏽

🚨💣 Manchester United consider Michael Carrick position at serious risk after two internal meetings taking place today.
Review still ongoing waiting on final decision but Carrick’s job has never been so much under threat, as @JamieJackson___ called.
Internal talks continue also on potential options as realistic replacement being discussed.
