Thought he turned us down for the Mags???

🚨 Understand there’s NO buy back clause for Real Madrid in Víctor Muñoz to Liverpool deal.

Real have right of first refusal in case of future proposals (and received €20m from Osasuna), but even in that case the player has final say.

Muñoz, 100% #LFC player.

[Michael Cowell @MCCFTM]

My take from that is our defence is shit…. But we will score more than any team we in front of….. cos of harry/jude… #itscominghome

Thank you for writing us off...

[Michael Cowell @MCCFTM]

Thank fuck the game is decided on how many games you win lose or draw

[The xG Philosophy @xGPhilosophy]

Sunderland should’ve been relegated, based on xG.

They’ll be playing in the Europa League next season.

[george @StokeyyG2]

What a brilliant idea 👏🤣🤣🤣

[Michael Cowell @MCCFTM]

Give it a rest you turnip

[Kevin Maguire @Kevin_Maguire]

Sunderland in Europe a decade after that Brexit vote.

Reform local councillors must be sheepish.

[Mark Goldbridge @markgoldbridge]

Sunderland! What a story! 7th and Europa League in their first season back is incredible. The fact hardly anyone is mentioning it as well...

[Michael Cowell @MCCFTM]

Can’t ya just say Sunderland battered Utd 2nd half but couldn’t put the ball in the net, takes nothing away from Utd, since Carrick came in they the form team in the League n 100% should get the job full time

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Michael Carrick has left the Stadium of Light in more despondent moods. “Don’t ever forget what this feels like,” Sir Alex Ferguson told Carrick and the other crestfallen Manchester United players on the bus leaving Sunderland after news came through of Aguerooo and City’s title winner in 2012. Carrick never forgot that feeling of misery and anger.

Disappointment with today’s draw is nothing in comparison, of course, but Carrick will be in reflective mood as he leaves SOL. Just because he doesn’t throw verbal fireworks around during post-match interviews doesn’t mean he’s not passionate about reviving United. He is. Everyone knows how deeply Carrick cares about United. Most around him know how driven he is, too, and that he wants to play attractive football. As he did as a player there.

Performances definitely need to be better, and fans' frustration with that side of the Carrick spell is understandable. Sunderland were the better side, by most accounts, and United were indebted to Lammens. But it was all about stabilising United for now. Carrick has done well as interim - 10 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses. He’s dispensed with the wrong system, put players in their best position, restored belief and got United back into Champions League positions. Third is all but guaranteed. Third. United were sixth and drifting when Carrick took over.

But he’s not a miracle worker. That squad needs strengthening. United need proper cover in attack when Sesko is out. Zirkzee simply isn’t good enough. They need a left-back and left-winger. Most importantly, a successor to Casemiro. If anybody understands the need for United to regain control of midfield it is Carrick, who played there 464 times for them (minus a few at emergency centre-back).

Sir Jim Ratcliffe might want a bigger name but Carrick has surely earned a shot at input into summer signings, a pre-season, and a chance to show what a Carrick Manchester United can do. #MUFC
