With 1 win in 7 domestic games, and 6 points after 6 games in the PL, this is the worst start United have had in the modern era.

All of this is on Ineos, their coaching selections, their managerial appointments, their recruitment decisions.

For example, only 5 of the starting 11 yesterday were players signed by Ineos, and this after spending roughly €680mil in 3 years.

Sure, injuries have an effect on selection, but unsure most of those sidelined would have been starters anyway.

The reason is simple: 1st window was about appeasing ETH and giving him another fair shot, the 2nd was about Amorim’s radical redesign, and the 3rd was about Carrick’s control-first plan.

Three managers, three visions, three recruitment guidelines.

Ineos also seem fixated on the idea that reconstructing the back line next year will solve everything, just as reconstructing the attack was supposed to do the same last year, and just as midfield this year.

It reads like a plan devised by McKinsey consultants rather than top level footballing people, the kind of thing that would appeal to Ratcliffe for its simplicity and alleged audacity.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, the squad still has deep gaps all over the place, and Carrick’s coaching doesn’t seem to be helping.

Such a bad situation, all over again.

Michael Carrick on the lack of intensity:

"I don't think it was particularly that. It looks like that in the end and I understand why people say that.

"I think it can get like that quite quickly when you're not quite there and not quite at it, and credit to Tottenham."

[El matador🎯🏹 @Mwiinga_Og]

We are definitely getting a new manager after 8 games, especially if we continue playing like we did today.

[Dev Bajwa @ammandev]

Michael Carrick will get sacked after this run of games if nothing drastic changes.

And after a 3 week break to address some of them, the feeling is even more bleak.

🚨Jorge Jesus on Cristiano Ronaldo’s role for Portugal against Denmark:

🗣️ Jorge Jesus: “I respect Cristiano Ronaldo enormously, but respect does not mean he has to be the main character every time Portugal plays. Cristiano is 41 now. He is not the same player he was at 25, 28 or even 32, and pretending otherwise would be unfair to him and unfair to the team. I didn’t call him up because I believe Portugal must play every match around him. I called him because he still has experience, personality and a level of leadership that can be valuable to this group.

“But against Denmark, if I need players to press for 90 minutes, run behind the defence, recover the ball and constantly change positions, I will choose the players who can give me that today. I am not going to put Cristiano on the pitch simply because his name is Ronaldo. That would be managing the reputation of a player rather than managing the national team. If I need him for 20 minutes, he plays 20. If I need him for 30, he plays 30. And if I don’t need him, he can sit beside me and help the younger players understand what it means to represent Portugal.

“Cristiano has already had his time as the player everyone had to build around. He doesn’t need me to pretend otherwise. His greatest contribution now may not be scoring the winning goal or playing every minute. It may be walking into that dressing room, looking at the younger players and telling them what he learned after 20 years at the highest level. That is leadership too. I want him to understand that being important doesn’t always mean being on the pitch.

“And I know some people will be angry because they hear ‘Cristiano Ronaldo’ and immediately think he must play. But I cannot select a player because of his history. I select him because of what he can give me today. Cristiano gave Portugal extraordinary moments, but those moments belong to the past. Against Denmark, I need to win the match in the present. If that means Cristiano starts, he starts. If it means he sits, he sits. Portugal owes Cristiano respect, but Portugal owes the team the truth.”

@Thuthukile29 I lowkey feel he is Dumisani's son.

[El matador🎯🏹 @Mwiinga_Og]

I'm sure Dumisani is Zwe's father. Remember how TLB said she also knows things about him and Zwe asking how he'd face his cousins 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ #kwababa

The fact that Mhlaba and Dumisani haven't traded punches upto now is a miracle. #kwababa
