The Director of Football should always control recruitment.
Wilcox has had enough chances and made too many wrong decisions. It's time for a replacement.
Pochettino should come in as head coach, reporting to the Director of Football. That structure must remain.

🚨 For now the power in rectruitment will REMAIN with Jason Wilcox.
Pochettino will act like a manager REGARDLESS of titles, wanting SIGNIFICANT say over recruitment. [@JacobsBen @UnitedStandMUFC] #mufc

We can all agree though the way them lot have treated Michael Carrick has been disgusting. A club legend firstly but even more so the way he’s conducted himself throughout his time as coach has been absolutely class. They could have at least done things with a bit more respect for him.

A number of the #mufc players were hoping for the appointment of Unai Emery [@alex_crook]

Once again, United will probably go out and appoint someone who isn't a tactical continuation of any recent groundwork laid
Amorim --> Carrick --> Poch (?)
rigid 3atb -> possession -> vertical football, intense
Mbeumo, Cunha etc. (half space attackers) were signed for Amorim's narrow attack, not Carrick.
Tielemans + Santos were signed as the beginnings to start committing to a more ball-first model. They weren't signed to play in a run-heavy system
They're talking about this bullshit "one window = one area of the pitch gets addressed" transfer model, when the type of profiles required in said areas change drastically from season to season because they keep fucking changing the coach & any ideologies he had previously signed the other players for
and THEN they have the cheek to wonder why it never works

Sacking Carrick and appointing a new manager will mean INEOS have appointed THREE managers in just THREE years since taking over. That's FAILURE on Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox.
It's not just sacking managers, sack the people making the incompetent decisions as well.
#MUFC’s embattled football executives Jason Wilcox & Omar Berrada are expected to retain Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s backing despite fierce scrutiny around their positions.
Understood they still have Ratcliffe’s trust and that a change to their positions is unlikely as things stand, with the United co-owner placing his faith in the pair to navigate through the current troubles.
Comes at a time when hierarchy & owners under persistent attack from the fanbase

Thank you, Carrick, for getting us back into the Champions League and keeping Kobbie at the club.
Ultimately let down by the owners and players.
Different manager, same old story. Rinse and repeat.

🚨 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…

Michael Carrick isn’t all that bad when he sticks to his game-model and picks balanced teams.
He’s done that more often than one would have you think this season, despite tactical issues from game to game, but the players have massively underperformed relative to last season.
Today, though, in attack, at least, they have been exceptional.
Yet the game is tied at 2-2 instead of it being 2-0 to United because of two bozo defensive moments 🤷♂️
