Ideally, INEOS would like to encase Michael Carrick in either the Museum or the Megastore. Perhaps carbon freezing beyond that. He is a true United Man and they don't want to let him go - David Ornstein. #ManchesterUnited #ineos #carrick #CarrickIn

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง It is closer than ever The EU will offer flexibility on Schengen and the pound if Britain returns. Removing those two obstacles would bring support for rejoining close to 65%. In November, the EU will put these proposals to Burnham Labour leads on 32%, with its pro-European position helping drive that support. Rejoining the EU must be in Labourโ€™s manifesto at the next British general election. renaissanceeurope.org/insighโ€ฆ

๐ŸšจJason Wilcox and Omar Berradaโ€™s MASTERCLASS planing at Manchester United: โ€ข Spending ยฃ70m on a player who was being benched by 40-year-old James Milner last season and call him biggest signing of the summer while he is still a project. โ€ข Spending ยฃ50m on a physically weak Chelsea substitute. โ€ข Signing a slow, unathletic 29-year-old Tielemans just because he had a release clause. โ€ข Going into the season WITHOUT a fit striker. โ€ข Handing the managerial job to someone completely out of his depth โ€” [With all respect to Carrick as player] โ€ข Failing to replace our absolutely AWFUL left-back and right-back options. โ€ข Bringing Marcus Rashford back. This wasnโ€™t bad luck. This was SHOCKING squad planning and INCOMPETENCE at the highest level. #MUFC

Given the PM has said this is a time for honest discussions, might we please consider how much Brexit has contributed to this ยฃ49bn black hole?

@PalaceAndOpera It was literally impossible to get into Mcr . I'm pretty sure many others affected. Could a refund be possible ? I can send proof of my Uber journey. I gave up bc I was going to be half an hour late. Every route was closed. Please advise! Could a swap for TMRW?

So few commentators pointing out that #Brexit costs the UK ยฃ100-200BN PER YEAR - which easily pays for defence, cuts the deficit, reduces borrowing & would help people with bills, making the UK economy one of the healthiest on the planet.. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ #Budget2026 @TheIFS @resfoundation

It's beyond frightening just how much Nigel Farage and David Cameron have cost this country. #BexitReality #CostOfLiving

Pundits: Carrick looks out of his depth Pundits: Carrick should never have been appointed Pundits: I'm not sure Carrick has the CV to coach these players Pundits: Carrick is too much of a nice guy Also pundits: Bruno should be ashamed of himself!!! @ESPNFC @JanAageFjortoft

Emery or Fabregas. Give them the time to work. Back them and get out of their way. @INEOS - do the RIGHT THING for once. #HoweOut #WilcoxOut #ManchesterUnited

Every United fan needs to call this out. Sure, Bruno isnโ€™t playing great right now. Doesnโ€™t mean they got to rewrite history. Every single player in the team loves Bruno. Just ask them. He takes interest in the youth team. Mentors young players, friends with senior players. We have seen numerous examples of this. People still donโ€™t know how much he does behind the scenes for this club. Put some respect to his name. Call that toxic Carragher out.

Carrick saving face. Nothing more, nothing less. #brunofernandes #Bruno #MUNBOU #ManchesterUnited

Singling out Bruno Fernandes - perhaps the only thing separating this #ManchesterUnited side from absolute, relegation-troubling mediocrity - especially if the argument is to do with "work rate," is a one way trip to nowhere. BF, while maverick, is the hardest worker in the side.

Fernandes is likely absolutely fed up with the dearth in quality that surrounds him. There is so little technical quality in this United side. We sign cost-cutting bench players that other teams can't wait to get rid of. Fernandes virtually single handedly got CL qualification.

It's not hard to understand why this brilliant player, recognised by all his peers as such - is mentally checked out. I can almost guarantee he was told by the hierarchy that Carrick would be backed in the summer. This entire dressing room KNOWS how short we are for this season.
