Don't fall for the scam Carrick pulled by trying to define the United job around "dignity & class." There is nothing dignified in winning 1 in 10 & leaving United in 18th. The manager's job is to win,not to perform decency. What's decent about repeatedly telling barefaced lies?
I'm not excited by the Pochetino announcement. Why? Because I think Michael Carrick should still be there and they should have booted out Wilcox instead.
Michael Carrick deserves heaps of praise for what he did last season. Made fans feel connected to their club for the first time in a long time. Instilled belief in the players, got United back in the Champions League, helped players like Mainoo find their feet again.
Ultimately given too much responsibility by a board unequipped to make difficult decisions. INEOS outsourced the pressure on them to a man willing to do anything for the club.
Sad to see him go but had to happen.
This is why Emery is elite by the way.
He saw we were on top, especially at the end of that first half.
What does he do? Completely nullifies it in the next, and goes onto win the match.
