Literally, a perfect explanation on why Manchester United haven't been truly successful since 2013. It's a same shit, different day mentality, and until our board and ownership takes some responsibility, nothing is going to change. 5 days or 5 years, it'll be tough for Carrick.
It doesn’t matter who is linked with becoming Manchester United manager, because whatever the name (and most of those in circulation have previously already been ruled out), they are set up to fail.
The parasitic Glazer ownership has bled and broken the club, putting a financial noose around it.
In 2024, Sir Jim Ratcliffe talked a big game about a “three-year plan” to rival and outdo Manchester City and Liverpool. But the decision-making under INEOS’ charge of football operations has not just been woeful, but costly too. There is zero accountability for expensive mistake after expensive mistake.
There is still no clear direction on club identity, including style of play, which leads to profiling the right signings and manager. That was a major promise made by Ratcliffe, which hasn’t been kept.
To borrow his own words: “There have been a whole series of coaches, some of which were very good. And none of them were successful, or survived for very long.
The only conclusion you can draw is that the environment in which they were working didn’t work.”
It still doesn’t. It never will as long as the people who own and run the club betray Manchester United and what is required to be successful in the modern era.
You can harp on about structure, vision, and sell fanciful projects, but you will never have the right operation with the wrong people.

I’m sick of United being everybody else’s punchbag, sick of our name justifying even greater elation when rivals beat the club I love. How the mighty have fallen. And that performance was an affront to the name of Manchester United.

🚨 Jose Mourinho on Sir Alex Ferguson and Pep Guardiola comparisons:
“Someone asked me this question before and I said, ‘Before I answer, tell me something. Where are we starting Alex Ferguson’s career?’
She said, ‘Manchester United.’
I said, ‘No, no. Then already we have a problem.’
People talk about Ferguson and immediately they see Old Trafford. The trophies, Cantona, Beckham, Cristiano, Rooney, the Champions League.
I see Aberdeen first.
This is a man who went into Scotland when Celtic and Rangers were supposed to own everything.
He wins the league with Aberdeen.
Then he does it again.
And again.
Then apparently dominating Scotland with Aberdeen wasn’t difficult enough, so he goes into Europe.
Bayern Munich.
Real Madrid in the final.
European trophy.
Then the Super Cup.
I remember once joking with him, ‘Mister, you could have retired before Manchester United and still spent the rest of your life telling everybody you were a very good manager.’
He laughed and said something like, ‘I would’ve been bored.’
That tells you everything about him.
Because then he goes to Manchester United.
And people speak today as if he arrived at the Manchester United we all know now.
No.
They hadn’t won the league for 26 years.
So this man had already disturbed the natural order in one country, came to another country and apparently decided the natural order there needed disturbing too.
Thirteen league titles later, now everybody remembers United as the giant.
That is the funny thing about football.
Sometimes a manager becomes so successful that people eventually use the size of the club he helped build as an argument against what he achieved there.
So if you ask me to choose?
I remember Aberdeen.
Because before Ferguson had Manchester United, Manchester United had to go and find Ferguson.
And they found him in Scotland with a European trophy he’d just taken off Real Madrid.
For me, that changes the conversation completely.”
I don't come on X hardly ever any more, and I don't think I've watched a full baseball game since the Cubs won the World Series. But I'm sure as heck happy this was in my feed today. Awesome dude, awesome moment. All the best, @JustinVerlander

One of the worst cheap shots in CFB history. First we all hope Oregon QB Dante Moore is ok. Second the Big Ten should suspend USC’s Desman Stephens for the season for the hit and his sideline smiling reaction to it. This cannot be allowed.
My captain. These times are tough. But at least his heart is in the right place.
Dalot has been trash lately. I'm still mad about AWB. But hopefully great leadership can get us on the right path again.
🚨 Bruno Fernandes on what he told Diogo Dalot at full-time.
🎙️REPORTER: Bruno, emotions are obviously high after that defeat. What did you say to Diogo Dalot at full-time?
🗣️BRUNO: I went straight to Diogo after the whistle. I told him honestly, “Diogo, you were terrible tonight. That is not defending at Manchester United level.”
🎙️REPORTER: That sounds very harsh. Why did you say that to him?
🗣️BRUNO: Because we cannot keep making the same mistakes and pretending everything is fine. We were 2–0 up and somehow allowed Brighton to come back and eliminate us. As defenders, you have to take responsibility in those moments.
🎙️REPORTER: So you think Dalot was one of the main reasons United lost?
🗣️BRUNO: I’m not putting everything on him. We win together and lose together. But I told him exactly what I saw. Some of the defending tonight was nowhere near the level required to play for Manchester United.
🎙️REPORTER: What was his reaction?
🗣️BRUNO: He didn’t say much. I think he knew I was angry. But I’m not saying it to destroy him. I’m saying it because we have to demand more from each other.
🎙️REPORTER: Would you say Dalot needs to improve defensively?
🗣️BRUNO: Absolutely. At this club, being good going forward is not enough. You have to defend. You have to fight. You have to protect the result. Tonight, we didn’t do that.
🎙️REPORTER: Do you regret confronting him immediately after the match?
🗣️BRUNO: No. I’d rather tell my teammate the truth than smile in his face and complain about him behind his back.
Don't tweet much anymore, thanks Michigan, but the whole thing just reeks. Like sewer water. Never saw B10 as the villain, but I think they're going to wear the hat well 👹
I used to be a camera operator for Auburn Athletics and worked many college football games for ESPN and SEC network. The Big Ten is lying to you and fabricated evidence for Michigan to have an extra play at the end of the game against Western Michigan. The stadium clock is the standard. Not whatever the replay booth decides it is.

Just because Michael Carrick doesn’t let rip in press conferences doesn’t mean he lacks “passion”. You don’t start off at five, playing in Under-9s five-a-sides at Wallsend Boys Club, getting beaten 14-0 and still in there fighting for a comeback without having a competitive nature. You don’t leave a loving, secure home at 16, move to West Ham, and make it as a pro without being driven.
You don’t become seventh on the list of Manchester United’s all-time appearance makers – behind only Giggs, Scholes, G Nev, Rooney, De Gea and Keane – win five titles for one of the most demanding managers in history, overcome a bout of depression, take and nail a penalty in a Champions League final without having strength of character. You don’t captain United for a season unless you have leadership qualities.
Leadership comes in differing forms. Carrick is a quiet leader, who will have his say behind closed doors, for the players, not for the cameras. Not for show. Carrick has a big job on at Manchester United but don’t doubt his determination to get it right. Because he cares about the Club, the staff, the players and the fans. Good luck to him. #MUFC
