“Results-wise, it hasn’t gone to plan of late, but the spirit, the togetherness is, again, I said it today, today was one of the best training sessions we’ve had, and you can see there’s a real sense and a feeling within the group that we want to do something about this”
🚨🗣️@DanyalHKhan: “From what I understand and what I've been told from sources around Manchester United, Bruno Fernandes has been back to his best [in training] in the last 48 hours.” [sky] #MUFC
Could have gone out in a blaze of glory but has ended up as another sycophant. xitter.cf/FabrizioRomano/status/…
You do think if Carrick had any self-respect he would resign but obviously the payoff will be significant & probably deserved.
He's only in a job because they are squabbling among themselves on a replacement. If you don't laugh, you'll cry.
#mufc initially planned on dismissing Carrick but inability to find common ground on a replacement has reprieved him. Was unclear on Monday night whether he'd take training before club confirmed he would stay 40 hours after FT vs Bournemouth

The cost of dismissing Michael Carrick four months into a two-year contract, combined with the inevitable exits of staff and the price of hiring a replacement, could be considerable for #mufc [@lauriewhitwell]
But are convinced with a manager who was sacked by Middlesboro and has 2 wins in 11 games.

Carrick staying at #mufc with hierarchy unconvinced by available coaches, with @katwalshy1 thesun.co.uk/sport/40822619/…
We always knew the owners were out of their depth and incompetent, but this is staggering. They're desperate to project calm and control, yet everyone can see the panic underneath: a leadership team flailing blindly with no plan and no idea what they're doing. It's humiliating.
This is exactly why he should be appointed.
If Manchester United move on from Michael Carrick, there are plenty of sensible options for a club who are in desperate need of one.
But if the people who make the decisions at Manchester United reject Antonio Conte as their next head coach because he can be unpleasant to work with, then it says much more about them than it does him.

Understand Eddie Howe is the leading candidate to replace Michael Carrick, should he be sacked.
Probably the sensible pick. But how much would actually change? #MUFC

Honestly, stop the pantomime, its unfair on Carrick. We all know what's going to happen, get on with it. xitter.cf/TelegraphDucker/status…
#MUFC hierarchy to hold crisis talks on Monday to determine Michael Carrick’s future and next moves.
Carrick under enormous pressure and very real possibility he goes but United want to carefully and calmly weigh up all options before making a final decision.
No formal decision had been taken as of last night.
Eddie Howe & Julian Nagelsmann among those in frame to replace Carrick if he goes.
Bookmakers have suspended betting on Carrick.

The owners have dealt with this appallingly. They should have sacked him in the 3 week international break where City were the big story & he could have slipped away quietly. He’s now been hung out to dry. They have allowed this and it’s a circus, utter cretins.
Please no. Please.
Manchester United sources expect Michael Carrick to be dismissed as manager, @TEAMtalk has been told, with Eddie Howe emerging as the leading contender to replace him at Old Trafford.

Carrick seems to be getting away with any blame; his team selections have been appalling, the players look unfit, and he is bar far, the worst coach we have had post-Ferguson. Great guy, superb and underrated player but an awful football manager.
Fucking hell. The brass neck on this cunt. Pot, kettle and black, spring to mind.
A disappointingly sour recollection of Stoke and the people of Stoke from James McClean in his new autobiography.

There is one button that Manchester United can press that guarantees them - at least in the short term - intensity, high standards and winning football. Surely they have to push it? How can they justify not doing so?
