Manchester United are utterly destroying a Brighton side with aspirations of European qualification. Let's see if the naysayers remember to highlight that energy about Michael Carrick and his inability to lead a Premier League side at the final whistle.

[No Question About That @nqatpod]

When Guardiola arrived in 2016, he did not inherit a project. He inherited a finished platform. Titles already won. Champions League football already routine. A wage structure already beyond what any club without state backing could sustain.

[Adam @AdamJoseph]

BRUNO FERNANDES WHAT A FINISH THAT IS. What a bloody hit that is. Patrick Dorgu assists his Captain this time, not the other way around.

His teammate love him so much, you can see the way they celebrate what it means to them.

[Sav 🇾🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @jonmikesav8]

If that is Carrickball drink it.
Fuck the doubters.

[Sam Peoples @sampeoples_]

Mate, that was glorious. What a silky goal.

[Adam @AdamJoseph]

2-0 BRYAN MBEUMO, AMAD ASSIST. THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL GOAL BY MANCHESTER UNITED. They carve Brighton into pieces. Liquid football.

Michael Carrick ball?

Premier League Assists in a Season:
21 - BRUNO FERNANDES (2025/26)
20 - Thierry Henry (2002–03)
20 - Kevin De Bruyne (2019–20)
19 - Mesut Özil (2015–16)

Premier League legend, Manchester United legend.

Tom Heaton just went into the away end and headed up a few rows to check on an elderly fan who was hit in the face by a stray ball. Got a round of applause from United fans for checking on her well-being. #mufc

Bruno Fernandes breaks the Premier League's assists in a season record, further cementing his status as a PL & Manchester United legend in the process.

He owns the record outright with 21.

History maker, record breaker. What an extraordinary footballer.

🚨 Pep Guardiola ends the debate over who is the greatest manager between himself and Sir Alex Ferguson:

“I don’t think there is any real debate for me.”

“What Alex Ferguson achieved in football is something extraordinary.”

“To stay at the top for so many years with Manchester United, rebuilding different generations of teams and continuing to win, is almost impossible.”

“I have always said Sir Alex is the benchmark for every manager.”

“Yes, I won many trophies and I’m proud of what we achieved at Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City.”

“But longevity matters.”

“Sir Alex dominated English football for decades.”

“He adapted to different eras, different players and different styles of football and still remained successful.”

“That is greatness.”

“As coaches, we all leave ideas behind, but Sir Alex built a culture and mentality that lasted for generations.”

“I learned a lot watching his teams and the way his players fought for him.”

“For me, if people call me one of the greatest managers, I am honoured.”

“But Sir Alex Ferguson is in a different category because what he did is part of football history forever.”

🇾🇪The great Jimmy Greenhoff 🇾🇪

🔴 He was sold by Stoke midway through the 76/77 season because they needed money to repair their stadium’s damaged roof.

⚪️ Having been a fan favourite, Jimmy refused to leave Stoke… Until he was told Sir Matt Busby had called and asked about him on behalf of the Doc.

⚫️ The rest is history and we all know what happened a few months later in the FA Cup final against Liverpool 😄🇾🇪

🇾🇪 A Tribute to Stuart 'Pancho' Pearson, The Man Who Helped United Rise Again 🧵

"Jesus saves, but Pearson nets the rebound!" Forty odd years on and it's still one of the best banners made about a footballer.

The year was 1974. Manchester United had just been relegated. The club that had conquered Europe six years earlier was playing Second Division football, and they needed someone to lead them back.

They found their man in a telephone engineer from Hull.

🔴 A proper working lad

Before he ever kicked a ball as a professional, Stuart Pearson was training as a telephone engineer back home in Hull. Hardly the background you'd expect for one of United's most beloved strikers. That working-class graft never left him, and it showed in the way he played.

⚪️ How "Pancho" got his name (And it's not what most fans think)

Here's one that surprises a lot of people. The nickname actually originated with another United player, Mark Pearson, who had long sideburns, "Pancho" being a shortened version of Francisco, a name that gained worldwide recognition from the Mexican revolution era.

When Tommy Docherty went to Hull City as assistant manager, there were already two Pearsons at the club who were called Pancho, so Tommy started calling Stuart the same thing. As Pancho himself put it: "I didn't have a moustache or grow long sideburns. So, no, that is all it was. All of my team-mates called me it, but I've been called worse from the opposition players!"

🇾🇪 A Tribute to Jimmy Murphy, the Man Who Kept the Red Flag Flying 🧵

Jimmy Murphy was born in 1910 in the Rhondda Valley, South Wales, the son of an Irish emigrant. He played the organ and piano as a boy before football took hold. He went on to play over 200 games for West Bromwich Albion, appeared in the 1935 FA Cup Final, and earned 15 caps for Wales. He was a proper footballer, but it was what he did after his playing days that made him irreplaceable.

The story of how he ended up at United is one most fans don't know. During the Second World War, Murphy was giving a speech about football to a group of troops in Bari, Italy. Matt Busby happened to be in the audience and was so impressed that, upon his appointment as Manchester United manager, he made Murphy the first signing of his tenure. Not a player. A coach. A man Busby had spotted giving a talk to soldiers and knew immediately was different.

From 1946, Murphy worked with every young player who arrived at the club, nurturing them, harnessing their talent, and preparing them for life as a footballer at Old Trafford. He set up the youth team structure in 1952, and for the first five consecutive years of the FA Youth Cup, United were unbeatable, a record that has never been equalled.

Bobby Charlton is the clearest example of what Jimmy could see in a player that nobody else could. He had Bobby repeat again and again the instruction "Just hit the ball. Don't look up for goal. Just hit it." He would roll balls from different angles for Bobby to hit, again and again, until it became instinct, turning him into the most spectacular striker of a ball in his generation.

Nobby Stiles, despite failing health, turned up for an interview just to talk about Murphy and said: "I'd walk a hundred miles to talk about Jimmy Murphy. England would never have won the World Cup without him. Bobby Charlton was the best player in that entire tournament and he would never have been that good without Jimmy's coaching."

Then came the 6th of February, 1958.

Murphy had pleaded to travel with the Babes to Yugoslavia for the European Cup quarter-final against Red Star Belgrade. It was Busby who insisted Murphy go to Cardiff to manage Wales in their World Cup qualifier against Israel instead. That decision saved his life. The man who took his seat next to Busby on the plane, chief coach Bert Whalley, was among the 23 who perished.

Murphy heard the news when he arrived back at Old Trafford. A usually hard-nosed man, he broke down in tears when told by his secretary, Alma George. When he visited Busby in his hospital bed, the United manager could only whisper a few words to his trusted deputy: "Keep the flag flying, Jimmy."
