The major voices of the PO/Obidient movement all left to either join another party or a Presidential candidate. Even the ones that stayed left and returned because they couldn’t take the heat of the group dragging them All the known faces are now with other groups They are left with Mama Pee and Peter Akah Anyways, January is close.

Every time I see many of us tagging @TechProd_Arch in our financial requests, I hardly see people taking a moment to simply check up on him. Good day, sir @TechProd_Arch ❤️ I pray that life continues to be kind to you, sir, and that you never lack reasons to smile. Today, from a genuinely sincere heart, I’d also love to gift you ₦10,000. I know it’s not much compared to the generosity you constantly show others, but I believe that even givers deserve to receive sometimes. Allow someone to put a smile on your face too. ❤️

Michael Carrick handing over his Brunade Launcher to Mauricio Pochettino.

Absolutely delighted about this, makes the win taste so much sweeter knowing the ref tried to cheat us out of playing against 10 men for 85 mins when he didn’t book the child for 2 blatant yellows in the first 10 to help THEM. Also, that’s one back for their Coote title. Hold that and cry.

Me realizing that next season, you’ll see a 46-year-old jobless Micheal Carrick on Sky Sports criticizing Mikel Arteta's style of play and calling it boring football.

“He is a very good manager, just below elite level (Luis Enrique, Jurgen Klopp, Carlo Ancelotti, Mikel Arteta, Pep Guardiola…)” see as my head dey swell
Re: Mauricio Pochettino and Manchester United. From the United States of America to the United States of Disrepair. Managerial churn may have short-term gain but problems remain as Pochettino will discover if/when he leaves USMNT for United. Michael Carrick is the Red Man Walking. So you can understand why the risk-averse board would go for Poch. United were linked with Pochettino in 2016, 2019, 2024. It seems destined. Pochettino is “gettable”, with that £7m release clause, but United must also take into account the cost of recruiting his staff. United’s board is not currently known for operating with respect – as its shameful handling of Carrick’s exit highlights - but it also must be mindful of Pochettino’s important work with USMNT over the next week: the Concacaf Nations League quarter-final against Haiti in Miami on Saturday and then Cincinnati on Wednesday. He is a very good manager, just below elite level (Luis Enrique, Jurgen Klopp, Carlo Ancelotti, Mikel Arteta, Pep Guardiola, Unai Emery etc and the rising Fabian Hurzeler). Pochettino knows English football and has a reputation for playing good football, promoting youth and living with budget restrictions – all qualities attractive to the board. "Poch" is a very engaging character (as are his staff) and will receive a largely warm welcome from the media he has always got on with. But Pochettino has a point to prove that he is not past his peak and will need to convince many sceptical United fans. They will back the new man, because that’s what United’s remarkable match-going faithful do. Many would prefer Antonio Conte to come in and shake up the dressing-room and boardroom and challenge the not-best-in-class Jason Wilcox, the director of football who badly let down Carrick in the summer. But Poch it is. He needs better players. Pochettino favours a high press, far more intense than the half-hearted press offered by some United players. His tactics involve a high line - good luck with that with Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt at centre-back. He likes to play out from the back, risky with some of the defenders. He’s worked with top strikers like Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe. He’ll find the No 9 wearing No 30 and in the treatment room. Pochettino likes to play (often) with a double pivot. Kobbie Mainoo is certainly good enough and has the quality in possession but would need a more defensive force alongside - which is Carlos Baleba, a player deemed surplus to requirements at Brighton. Poch likes attacking full-backs who can also defend well. United need to sign some. Good luck to Pochettino - he'll need it. #MUFC

I am tired of explaining.. I've deleted the tweet... If you can't see the pattern in the loss of two wives by the father and two marriages by the son I can't help further. May God take control.

Only Arsenal (63) and Manchester City (56) have won more points in the Premier League than Manchester United (47) since Michael Carrick was first appointed on 13 January 2026.

🚨 Manchester United intend to relieve Michael Carrick of duties. #MUFC say no final decision & nothing set in stone but work undertaken on replacements + multiple sources anticipate change before Liverpool. W/ @lauriewhitwell @AdamCrafton_ @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/7768165…
