The situation is wonderful, we've secured Champions League, we are winning games and the players are playing well. The summer signings have stepped up and clicked really well and Kobbie came back into the team and has gone from strength to strength.
Carrick has done a fantastic interim job and as I hoped he would he really galvernised the team.. As a Utd fan I couldn't be happier and have really enjoyed watching, supporting us and sharing those moments with friends and like-minded positive fans. Very much looking forward to Champions League nights next season 🙌

Its also been so refreshing, taking a step back from twitter since Carrick took over. Watching Utd and not feeling the need to defend, justify or argue about being positive and supporting the club has really improved the experience for me. My positivity is all topped up and running wild again!

In the end, I know your trying to score "told you so" points regarding Ruben. I was disappointed it didn't work out, I still maintain he made positive changes during him time but in the end the job came too soon for him, he was too young, too stubborn and our squad wasnt a good fit for the setup he wanted to play. The fully fit starting 11 could just about adapt and play it but with injuries and absences it was doomed and his stubborn streak / failing to adapt lost him the gig - rightly so.

Onwards and upwards, I hope you get chance next season to come over and watch a game. Tickets are on me if we draw Benfica or Porto in the Champions League 🤝

It was NEVER the formation. The back 3 stuck 4 goals past Brighton.
It was always the quality of our players, the floor of the squad, the depth is NOT good enough - it was so OBVIOUS to anyone.

Sacking the manager, because he asked for some help, any help and telling him to change to a formation THAT IS NOT ANY MORE GUARENTEED to bring results was ridiculous.

Still regardless who the manager is the squad still needs investment. This squad will struggle to secure top 5 or european football this season.

I really really hope and pray the interim manager whoever it is, can galvanise us.. because right now its flatter than ever. Sensible fans are losing faith. I hope the 4231 works, I hope Mainoo steps up, I hope the players respond and try to salvage this season because right now its looking flat...

Amorim Outers are the only HAPPY "fans" right now and that says everything about the state of this club and its "fans".

Next up Man City, then Arsenal. A win against either could ignite the 2nd half of the season for us, need Amad and Bryan back and need to get to work on the training pitch.

[Adam @AdamMUFC24]

@AnnemarieDray I said it earlier, Carrick has an Ancelotti calmness about him; doesnt panic, doesnt flap, doesnt run up and down the touchline waving him arms around. Just cool, calm and composed.
Long may this confidence keep flowing 🙏

[Adam @AdamMUFC24]

Utter rubbish.
We controlled large parts of the game, at least 60 minutes worth. You could argue it was an even game but not a chance they were the better team, they had a 30 minute spell in the second half and thats about it. I watched it and I can see all the stats that prove that.
We need reinforcements yes but today was an even match that we edged due to being clinical - hence they were NOT the better team.

[Adam @AdamMUFC24]

Carrick might just be the one.

He's got such a calm, composed aura about him - it reminds me of Ancelotti / Zidane at Madrid.

At 2-2, I didnt accept that would be it, I knew we'd find something, knew we'd not give up.

Its not about the subs, the formation or the setup - its about belief, confidence and attitude.

Carrick is bringing that and these players are starting to realise their potential and play to it 🙏

We wont play like we did vs City or Arsenal every week but we have to find ways to win, rack up points and capitalise on results like Villa's today.

#GGMU Another week of feeling great about Manchester United and optimistic 👌

[Adam @AdamMUFC24]

Well:
A) Carrick is not Ole.
B) He had a front row seat to what Ole did right / wrong
C) Ineos are better squad builders than Glazers and wont drop a mn aging Ronaldo into his team
D) We, as a club our in a very different phase to when Ole stepped in. The fanbase now accepts after trying Ruben and Erik that maybe, an ex-player jsut gets the club a bit more and with the right backing could be good.

Either way, he gets the season and in the summer if he's done a great job his name should be in the mix.

[Adam @AdamMUFC24]

@PeteMahon5 A terrible decision is only quantified if it turns out to be a decision that effects the outcome of the game.
It didnt. We still won. With 1 of his substitutions scoring the winner.
You make your own luck and any manager in this job needs some of it.

[Adam @AdamMUFC24]

He might be, its my thoughts & opinion.
I like his aura and how hes working with the current team.
I'm not "going all Ferdinand" and saying give him the job.
For me he gets this season to stake a claim for the job, 14 more games on top of 3 he's already done and he will then be judged on merit against other interested managers. Thats fair.
So yeah, relax, god forbid a fan is happy hey? FFS

[Adam @AdamMUFC24]

OK, not sure if you were implying I was one of them.. if so you have me very misunderstood 👍
I was one of Ruben's biggest fans and gutted we got rid of him.
In the end, as fans we have to move on. I'm not saying give Carrick the job, I'm saying his approach might actually be perfect for us.
I'm fully onboard we get to the end of the season and swiftly make a decision and judge him fairly against others.

[Adam @AdamMUFC24]

@DavidSHFraser @Rutof What the fuck is a short term fixer?

[Adam @AdamMUFC24]

Relax.
I like the manager, I like his approach.
I said I'm not sure its long-term sustainable but quite frankly that doesnt matter.. his job is to get CL and see where we go from there.
As a fan, I'm allowed to support, be happy and confident about our manager.
Its got fuck all to do with Ole's stint or anyone else's.
That's all.

[Adam @AdamMUFC24]

@SionBen86 @3balders69 Just never happy some fans. Best side lost 🤣

[Adam @AdamMUFC24]

Our fanbase is so weird.
We've just won 3 games in a row. We are scoring great goals, we are largely controlling games and this is what you come up with?
Carrick is not responsible for most of what you just rambled about. You think he's on the pitch whispering in players ears?
Weirdo, have a night off.

[Adam @AdamMUFC24]

I'm all aboard the Carrick hype train.
Sometimes things just click, sometimes they don't, Ruben did a lot right, was close to having something sustainable but needed way more time to make it stick and even then there are valid question marks over would 343 ever have been long term viable for us.
In the end he kickstarted a reboot, served a purpose but couldn't get it over the finish line. It didnt work out.
Carrick is perfect, simple, back to basics, well drilled, good coaching he recruited and most importantly has the players playing with freedom and confidence. Can't remember a time when we had 3 shots on target and scored 3 🤯
Long may it continue.
Great photo btw of your lads at the game 🔥

[Adam @AdamMUFC24]

@LAMatthews 10. 3 wins, a draw and a loss.
If we are lucky, 12-13,
Lets see. I'd love to win them all, but cautious at the same time

[Adam @AdamMUFC24]

@LAMatthews I'm with you 1000%

[Adam @AdamMUFC24]

@TheUnitedWay26 That's a great point

[Adam @AdamMUFC24]

@AdamMcKola was ALL of us with that table dive and dance 😂 this club, this is what it does to you 🔥🤌

[The Club @TheClubLiveTw]

2-3 MAN U!! WHAT. A. GAME.

[Adam @AdamMUFC24]

@SkySportsPL

[Adam @AdamMUFC24]

Name me a team better than Manchester United at breaking win streaks, home records, unbeaten runs and now number of goals conceded records 😜

[Statman Dave @StatmanDave]

For the first time in 121 games, Arsenal have conceded 3+ goals in a game.

Super Michael Carrick. 🔝
