David Meek wrote sixty years ago in 1966: "Manchester United have carved themselves an almost unique place in the eyes of football fans. Not everyone loves them, but everyone with the remotest interest in soccer wants to see them." The truth, remains.
@htomufc Sounds like someone you’d want in your squad. Funny cause back in the day we had plenty squad players likes of Fletcher and Park and they were seen as unsung heroes. No in depth analysis on their negatives but that’s just how the landscape has changed. Let’s hope it works out
@BeersnBlues Not in the slightest. Without man city are main rivals would've won the league numerous times. You're that irrelevant i was rooting for you
WHEN Michael Carrick is announced as Manchester United Manager the least you can do as a Fan/Supporter is get behind him & his Staff.
That’s your Job.
The End.
@FrankEra_ That makes too much sense for 99% of the United "fan" base on this app
Recruitment this summer is far, far more important than who's in charge next season anyway.
Plus, there isn't a manager available that massively moves the needle or represents less of a risk than Carrick.
.@UTDKara said Real Madrid are now finishing second and Arbeloa will leave even after qualifying for the UCL. He just tried to compare him with Carrick’s time at Manchester United.
What he didn’t mention is;
Real Madrid was second in the league with just 4 points behind Barcelona and now they’re 14 points behind Barcelona.
Real Madrid was knocked out of the Copa del Rey by a second devision side Albacete in the Round of 16.
It’s been over 28 years Real Madrid failed to qualify for the Champions League so that was never in doubt.
As a matter of fact, Alvaro Arbeloa failed.
Whereas;
Micheal Carrick joined when we were joint 5th with Chelsea at 29 points, 10 points behind Villa, 3 points behind Liverpool and 1 point ahead of Sunderland.
Now we’re 3rd with 6 points ahead of Villa and Liverpool, 16 points ahead of Chelsea and 17 points ahead of Sunderland.
Carrick secured Champions League spot for Manchester United for the first time in 3 years.
You just tried to compare what Micheal Carrick achieved with a dysfunctional team to the failures of Arbeloa with a super talented and more balanced team at Real Madrid.
All in the name of agenda.
