Gone full Arteta and building round the kids - full credit if he sticks to it. Only way out of this mess given the lack of investment. Just gotta hope they repay the faith through effort. Yoro, Santos and Baleba all pretty good today
🚨🎙️ | Michael Carrick: "You look at the midfield with Carlos [Baleba] and Andrey [Santos], that's a pretty fresh spine of the team through that middle of the pitch. "Both young players adapting to life at this football club, and I thought both of them were terrific today. "I thought they both did really well in midweek. So that's a massive positive for us..."

Carrick still backed by the United away fans at Leeds - decent first half, again just not fit enough to maintain it. Amateurish. Equally inexcusable that there’s no LB cover, and that Licha has no cover so a back up FB ends up in the middle… Complete mess ❌

🚨 Lisandro Martínez: “I expect more from our technical director”. 💣 “If you don’t change, next season it’s a big problem”. “You keep changing managers but what about other areas?”. “It’s easy to say coach, players, but also we have to see others?”, says via @NathSalt1.

This is a generational meltdown. Yes it’ll be a laughing stock in the Amazon doc but worth it if it inspires change. Been a disaster few years and everyone rightly feels let down: coaches, players, fans. No-one’s blameless but it starts much higher

Players talk: they aren’t stupid. If one is saying it, they’re all thinking it. THEY KNOW the squad aren’t fit, THEY KNOW the squad isn’t good enough to compete. Finally - Wilcox, Ineos, Ratcliffe have got a LOT to answer for. Burn it down
🚨🎙️ | Lisandro Martinez asked if Michael Carrick was backed in the summer: “I DON'T think so. He did his best. If you don’t change, next season it’s a BIG problem. “You keep changing managers, but what about OTHER areas? “It’s easy to say the coach, the players, but also we have to see others, huh?” WOW... 🤯

Bruno’s performances make more sense, as do the rest of them. Not an excuse, granted but can understand why they feel let down - especially when they’ve likely been promised better. They KNOW Santos isn’t up to it, Tielemans can’t run, Shaw can’t stay fit, Sesko isn’t enough

FINALLY WE MIGHT BE OKAY (Licha I forgive the repeated stinkers)
🚨 Lisandro Martinez: “Really poor. I have to control myself a lot. It’s a reflection in the mirror of how our club is at the moment. “ We expect MORE from the top after our fantastic last season. We needed more players to compete because many teams have bought many players as well.” [@primevideosport]

This says everything. 1-0 down, getting hammered away in Europe. Then get a VAR break as a reprieve. Help your players? Fix tactical issues? Nope, stay as far away as possible. Carrick so clearly out of his depth; players too unfit to compete. Incompetence from the top down🤬

That’ll get bad press going 1-0 down so early but honestly fine margins there between stealing the ball and having an attack vs it going to an Atleti player… Not a good start but genuinely unlucky

Preseason at Brighton, not conditioned by the apparently incompetent staff at United
Replying to @_Coach_Cam
Baleba looked fitter than everyone else despite being out injured. How is that possible?

This lot NEED to get FIT. To sprint, to duel, to RUN and compete harder than opponents. It’s happened AGAIN - it’s on the DOF. Mr Wilcox: WHY haven’t you checked the conditioning data vs other teams, even vs Amorim’s tenure. Enabler. Institutional failure from the top 📉❌
What needs to change, Reds? 👇

Unfit, no legs in midfield, passing crap, receivers just letting defenders come straight though and nick the ball… It’s really, really bad. Psychological/physical/technical/tatical: all awful. And then it’s £6.60 for a pint… bring back the international break

Just stop this United team playing straight into the pivot from the first line and you've got a great chance of a clean sheet. Zero plan or idea when the ball goes wide, Maguire + Licha want to force EVERYTHING through Mainoo/Tielemans. One-dimensional ⚽️

That Brighton performance is one of the best PL performances I’ve seen in a LONG time. If that’s a big six team it’d be talked about for years. Incredible, swarmed Arsenal like flies and suffocated them. Crazy running power + great on the turnover too, wow. More of that please

🧠There’s a SERIOUS mentality problem at Man Utd. Needs a full on Southgate England-style psychologist-led intervention. Fold like origami the second there’s any slight sign of pressure, absolutely sick of it 😡

What a strike from Lacey… early shot insanely effective

Forced EVERYTHING through the middle, ignored 2v1s out wide. Played the gameplan not the game. Even had half time to fix it. Very worrying signs for United and Carrick
🚨🎙️ | Michael Carrick: “It is up to us to create and score after they went down to 10 men. "We had moments. I thought we started the second half pretty well so I wouldn’t necessarily think we were better 11 v 11.  "We did a lot of things well [early on]. We were growing into the match and looking dangerous. At this moment it time that is irrelevant though. "We are not going to move on lightly. We need to get back to winning as a team.”

Carrick could be in trouble here. Game was screaming out for Sesko on for Cunha before City scored. Hesitated and got punished. United seemed intent on forcing everything through the middle. Even with City 5-4-1 at the end still no sign of using the 2v1 each side… v worrying

Carrick likely fuming and rightly so. Even Tielemans was a cheaper market opportunity. Santos and Baleba when Utd desperately needed defensive cover too is a very poor window. A starting-quality LB as well was the bare minimum
🚨 | Michael Carrick was PUSHING to sign a left-back and striker. #mufc wanted a left-winger, too. They didn’t sign any. [@SullyTalkz]
