Absolutely disgraceful way to treat a club legend
Thank you @carras16 for everything you've done
It's a shame you weren't backed properly from the powers that be.

🚨𝗡𝗘𝗪: Wayne Rooney has slammed Manchester United’s treatment of Michael Carrick, who is still taking training while the club prepares to replace him with Mauricio Pochettino:
🗣️Rooney: “It’s a disgrace. If they’re looking for somebody else, then relieve the man of his duties. Don’t expect him to keep taking training while you’re planning his replacement. He’s a human being. Treat the guy with respect.
You cannot demand loyalty, professionalism and commitment from a manager while showing none of those things back to him. Carrick is still expected to stand in front of the players, set the standards and get them ready for the next match, all while the hierarchy is meeting elsewhere and sounding out alternatives. That’s not leadership — that’s cowardice.
If the board has already lost confidence in him, they should have the guts to walk in and tell him. Instead, they’re leaving a club legend in an uncomfortable, uncertain position while they hide behind the history of Manchester United. The name and the past don’t excuse this kind of decision-making. Even if the results have been poor — and they have — that does not give anyone the right to treat someone without basic professional respect.
Michael gave this club his best years as a player. He deserves honesty and transparency about his future, not to be left hanging while everyone else works out the next move. And the hierarchy needs to start taking responsibility for its own recruitment and decisions instead of making the manager the only one who has to answer for everything. This is embarrassing.
🚨Roy Keane on Manchester United’s plans to replace Michael Carrick with Mauricio Pochettino:
🗣️ Roy Keane: “I’m honestly so angry with what is happening at Manchester United. How can you look at everything that has gone wrong at this club and decide that Michael Carrick is the problem?
I don’t understand the thinking behind this decision. They’re talking about bringing in Pochettino, but what exactly do they expect him to achieve if the problems at this club remain the same?
The board needs to take responsibility. They haven’t signed the players this team desperately needs, they haven’t built a squad capable of competing at the highest level, and now they want to put everything on the manager.
But the players also need to look at themselves. Some of them aren’t fighting hard enough for that badge. You cannot wear a Manchester United shirt, deliver those kinds of performances and expect everyone else to take the blame.
I’ve watched this club for years, and I know what it means to represent Manchester United. There was a time when losing a football match was enough to make you uncomfortable for days. There was a time when players understood the responsibility that came with wearing that shirt.
Now I look at some of these performances and I wonder where that mentality has gone. Where is the hunger? Where is the aggression? Where is the accountability?
Carrick inherited problems that were already there. He deserves support, he deserves the opportunity to work with the right players, and above all, he deserves respect.
You cannot keep changing managers every time things go wrong and expect the club to suddenly become Manchester United again. What happens when Pochettino arrives and discovers that he has the same problems Carrick was dealing with? Will they sack him too?
And let’s be honest, Pochettino isn’t a magician. He cannot walk into that dressing room and suddenly turn players who aren’t performing into world-class footballers.
Reporter: “Do you think the players have let Carrick down?”
🗣️ Roy Keane: “Without a doubt. I don’t want to put everything on the players, but some of them need to take a serious look at themselves. Managers lose their jobs, coaches lose their jobs, but somehow certain players keep surviving every change.
That’s what frustrates me. How many managers must come and go before these players accept responsibility? You cannot keep hiding behind new managers.
Reporter: “Would you personally prefer Carrick to remain in charge?”
🗣️ Roy Keane: “I would like to see him given a fair opportunity. If the club believes he isn’t the right man, that’s a different conversation. But don’t make him the scapegoat for problems created by years of poor decisions.
Give him the players he needs. Give him a proper structure. Demand more from the dressing room. Let everybody be accountable, including the board.
I’m tired of watching Manchester United repeat the same mistakes and pretending every new appointment is going to fix everything.
Michael Carrick doesn’t deserve this. He deserves better from the club.
Manchester United’s biggest problem isn’t who sits in the dugout. It’s what has been allowed to happen inside that football club for years.”
Micheal Carrick wanted Tonali you gave him Tielmans
He wanted Bruno Guimareas you gave him Santos
He wanted Kone you gave him Carlos Bareba
He doesn't have a goal keeper, no Central defense, no Central midfield, no Striker
Why would you choose to fire a Manager like him who you didn't give resources
Justice for Michael Carrick
