Kjipeste avskjedsmeldingen noen gang?
Må laste ned en app så skal du få lese noen linjer. Gidder ikke skrive takk eller krydre med en emoji en gang i posten.
Har de mistet helt livsgnisten alle i United eller? Eller har de kvittet seg med alle som kan kommunikasjon?

MUST on Michael Carrick's sacking:
"The Glazers’ debt-funded takeover continues to burden the club. When INEOS came in they promised sporting excellence, yet we have seen anything but. It is time for the owners to explain themselves and show some accountability."

Michael Carrick sacked by MUFC.
Top lad, got the team in the Champions League against expectations. Gave it his all, night and day. Protected others, never threw anyone under a bus. Worked in difficult circumstances. Leaves with head held high. I wish him and his staff the very best.
Med Pochettino på vei inn er det naturlige neste steget å ringe Paul Mitchell?
Han jobbet med Pochettino i både Southampton og Spurs, med suksess, og har lenge ønsket seg til United.
Ledig på markedet etter at han forlot Newcastle forrige sommer...

Michael Carrick knows the industry but for #MUFC leaders to let him take training two days running while clearly working on his dismissal, with no real communication, is poor treatment. Carrick served United superbly as a player + worked diligently as head coach. Deserves better.
På tide å lese seg opp på Pochettino.
Denne (gamle) artikkelen av @Haugstad1006 er sedvanlig detaljrik og interessant, om hans bakgrunn og første år som trener i Espanyol, Southampton og Spurs:

Hvor mange mennesker kan være involvert i samtalene om Carrick? Berrada, Wilcox og kanskje et par til?
Blir de enige om å briefe journalistene, eller er det en som lekker? Uansett vitner det om en råtten kultur. 🤮
Michael Carrick går fortsatt på jobb som trener, samtidig som ledelsen briefer/lekker info til media om at han er ferdig og hvem arvtakeren hans skal bli.
Patetisk,illojalt og pinlig oppførsel overfor en klubblegende som alltid har representert klubben med verdighet og lojalitet

Om det blir Pochettino er jeg veldig positiv til det. Burde vært ansatt for 6-8 år siden, men sannsynligvis er han ingen dårligere manager i dag.
Men han MÅ få midler til spillerkjøp i januar.
Mye snakk om Solskjærs fremtid. For meg er det ganske enkelt.
Hvis Pochettino vil ta United-jobben er det ikke noe å tenke på. Kan ikke la den muligheten ryke, slik klubben sov da Guardiola og Klopp var tilgjengelige.

Greit oppsummert. Mangel på kompetanse er vel gjennomgangsmelodien i United post Ferguson. Klubben har kun EN gang ansatt en sportsdirektør med noe som likner på en relevant CV, og han ble kastet ut etter få måneder fordi han var uenig med sjefen i ansettelsen av Amorim…
When Michael Carrick goes, should the director of football Jason Wilcox go as well? Was he over-promoted when Dan Ashworth left? Ashworth was “best in class”, very experienced. Wilcox wasn’t/isn't "best in class". Recruitment has been a mess, namely the transfer strategy of targeting one area, midfield, this summer. So naive. Some strengthening required with Casemiro gone and Ugarte injured/not good enough but the team were crying out for investment at left-back and striker. £50m for Andrey Santos? United are not buying best in class.
DoF should be working to a club’s DNA. United’s historic identity is well-known: attacking with pace, width, intensity, expression, defiance and the dash of youth. Playing football the Matt Busby way, the Alex Ferguson way. Those days are long gone, United don't have anywhere near the quality of player or manager, but attempting to follow principles laid down by Busby and Ferguson, which fans crave, should be Wilcox's stated ambition.
But Wilcox hasn’t recruited to restore that DNA. Properly-run football operations like Brighton sell players/change coaches but have an established DNA and way of playing (attacking, pressing). Brighton have best in class recruitment, data with due diligence into character. United don't.
Carrick can go but the problem remains. Reports suggest that United pursue Mauricio Pochettino as Carrick’s successor. Good choice. He’s a very good manager, man-manager, great with the media (coffees and chats in London with journos he knows), diplomatic with those upstairs and popular amongst staff. Poch would have a short-term bounce but will he have the players? United's problem is short-term and long-term, and Wilcox has to take responsibility for that.
United will remain stuck in a doom cycle until best in class is appointed to run recruitment and better players - with the right character - are bought. United will continue to drift until the debilitating, debt-stained ownership model changes, and they get back to being a great football club first and foremost with the whole commercial operation supporting that, not interest repayments. #MUFC

Jason Wilcox should be making no final decision because he’s being sacked too.
Breaking: #mufc are moving towards sacking Michael Carrick, though no final decision has been made by Jason Wilcox. There is a growing expectation within the club that he will lose his job [@JamieJackson___]

⚽️How nothing indicates that Emry would improve United, nothing…
🔺I am no fan of Wilcox and Berrada and was against Carrick being appointed — but NONE of them are accountable for this mess. None. This is not to say that they are without fault. But it is the Glazers and Ineos who are created this mess and nothing will change before they change.
🔺There has been a lot of talk about Unai Emry. There is NOTHING indicating that Emry would raise the floor for this team, nothing.
Villa is never good when they don’t have a strong XI on the pitch. Tyrone Mings is a player like Maguire who shouldn’t be starting games in the PL in 2026. After watching Villa suck due to him, I went and checked how they have performed with Mings on the pitch. The last two seasons Mings have started 25 games for Emry in the PL — and Villa have won 5. That is relegation form. Emery wins 5 of 25 when he starts Mings.
How about Victor Lindelof? When Emry has to start Lindelof, he has won 8 of 20 games. That gives them a form that ranks ~13-15 in the PL.
With Konza? Won 18 of 33. Good enough for 4th. Pau Torres-Konza was even better.
I would bet my right arm that Emery managing United this season with Heaven-Maguire at CB and Dalot at LB would never finish above at best ~12th. When he have to play either Mings or Lindelof (at CB) — Villa creates next to nothing and gives up a ton of goals.
This started in 23/24 when they went unbeaten with Konza-Torres. In 24/25 — they had a 65% win rate with them, 40% win rate with only one of them and 25% win rate (relegation form) with none of them.
Who would have thought — a manager in the PL needs good players to have his team performing well.
🔺It is a mystery to me that some think that this team would get the job done with a better manager or a better DoF, CEO or whatever. It’s not Wilcox who sets the budget.
Going into every single season, this team has absurdly big holes on the squad. No manager can get the job done with a struggling team with no identity and absurdly big holes on the squad.
Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada need to show some accountability. They can’t keep leaving it to Michael Carrick to take the heat for the mess Manchester United are in. Wilcox and Berrada are responsible for much of the mess. Wilcox has been United's director of football since June 2025 (and was sporting director from December 2024). Berrada has been chief executive since July 2024. They owe it to United supporters to try to explain the mess, and why a club that generates so much money ended up with two 20-year-olds at centre-back, and why the squad is imbalanced.
Even if talking only via in-house media and dodging issues of ownership and coach succession, Wilcox and Berrada need to demonstrate some contrition and give mutinous fans some hope that they will get things right (even if many fans want them gone).
Small violin but it can’t be easy sitting there in games watching this mess, hearing the chants about them, having the cameras on them. But it’s even worse for fans paying to sit there, watching Wilcox and Berrada’s poor stewardship of their beloved club. So show some leadership and address the mess. #MUFC
Tenk at Wilcox & co analyserte Uniteds tropp i sommer og konkluderte med at det IKKE var behov for forsterkninger bakover…
De valgte bare å fornye med Maguire…
Det er vanskelig å se for seg en sportsdirektør avskilte seg selv på en mer tydelig måte.
Etter de første katastrofale 5 minuttene har United totalt overkjørt Villa. Slik de gjorde i 1. omgang med Chelsea forrige helg. Problemet er at et forsvar med Maguire, Dalot & co når som helst kan slippe inn mål. Kan gå alle veier dette..

Lett å krisemaksimere alt når United er så svake. Men hadde de forsterket laget med en stoppet og en venstreback på ok Premier League nivå i sommer så ville de trolig vært topp 5 nå. Minst.
Nå MÅ det gjøres i januar. Hvis ikke kan det like gjerne bli nedrykk som topp 10.

What a fantastic evening at Old Trafford celebrating 40 years of Sir Alex taking the reign at @ManUtd. Catching up with the boys and some great speeches about how he achieved to leave such a mark on this club! – at Manchester, England
