They're going to fall into the trap of appointing Carrick. Managed to get into third but I don't think they've been brilliant. Next season when they're playing 2 matches a week and then they'll end up in 10th and sack him. Can see it already.

tbh carrick should never be man utds next full time manager -
hes done what he is supposed to have done to get in the CL - and thats it
agreed - doesnt have the capacity to deal with the prem and CL week in week out
they will get it wrong again
they need an experienced manager like flick or ancelotti and they would be challenging for the prem and the CL
we can all see this as footy fans but the highly paid yes men at manu simply cant

I agree in the main, but since he took over no team in the league has taken more points than UTD.

That's pretty hard to argue against, especially given he's beaten Arsenal, City, Villa and Liverpool I believe in that time.

He probably isn't the right man, but also I think he's done enough to warrant the gig, in fact he really couldn't have done any more.

English managers don't really get a look in at top jobs, or at least itsy very rare, so personally I'm happy to see it go to an Englishman over a foreign coach.

Couple of my united mates saying it's just the cheap option for Jim.

Sentimental shite....

I was surprised they think that, but they want a proven winner to manage the demands of Europe and the league. And a bigger squad ...

They adore Carrick but said it's been running on good vibes since Amorin and that isn't going to last forever.

Agreement reached with Ole Gunner Carrick to become manager on a permanent basis. 🙂

Think it was someone here said they are basically a richer version of us the past decade or so.

Sentimental appointments with no real strategy or purpose behind them.

I think Amorin is a hugely flawed manager, but it was always clear he had a lot of bad eggs in the squad that made his time there worse than it potentially could have been.

We're seeing it now with Carrick too, who after a really good half season has seen the players just phone it in again.

They'll never get anywhere until they remove half the squad and replace with better characters, doesn't matter how many times they change manager.

Imagine how great it would be if them 6 had fucked off for good.

We've have Brighton, Leeds, Everton, Brentford, Newcastle, Villa, Sunderland etc all going for a massively competitive league title.

Couldn’t possibly agree more with this. Loads of shitbags in that squad and captain fantastic the worst of the bunch imo. He’s absolutely rotten and he’d be the first id be shipping off some some of that sweet Saudi cash. That tiny CB following swiftly after.

“they spent £191.7m on new players this summer.
United bought Andrey Santos from Chelsea on 13 July, Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa on 14 July and Carlos Baleba from Brighton on 25 August.

The fees the club stated they spent on the trio at the time the transfers were announced added up to £153m, and it is not clear where the additional sum has been spent.”

Nothing to see here…

Oh well, what's £40m between friends?

Spurs would have been reapplying for their membership pretty quickly. Bottom of this league, never mind a Euro Super League 😉
In a world full of adversity, we must still dare to dream.
