If Dan Andrews had been accused doing drugs and smoking ice while his kids were home and repeatedly lost his licence, the same people clapping for Warren Pickering would be rioting in the city streets right now, wooden gallows and all.
Been absolutely hung out to dry. My only hope is that this fanbase — and it's a big amount of hope knowing some "supporters"— won't call for Carrick's sacking should we struggle given the lack of ambition and false narratives told by the board, who said they would support him.
@UtdDanMufc_ Exactly, just lip service. Worst of all, our rivals, who were all entering a period of uncertainty, which you rightly said could've been exploited, may well have passed us by now. Honestly wouldn't blame Carrick if he walked (I know he won't as he loves Utd) but he has the right.
@UtdDanMufc_ This window feels almost as bad as the one where Ole got Cavani, Van de Beek and Lee Grant. How any manager can be expected to succeed when being hung out to dry this poorly is disgusting. Berrada and Jim talk about how we want to compete for the league then serve up this trash
Just because Michael Carrick doesn’t let rip in press conferences doesn’t mean he lacks “passion”. You don’t start off at five, playing in Under-9s five-a-sides at Wallsend Boys Club, getting beaten 14-0 and still in there fighting for a comeback without having a competitive nature. You don’t leave a loving, secure home at 16, move to West Ham, and make it as a pro without being driven.
You don’t become seventh on the list of Manchester United’s all-time appearance makers – behind only Giggs, Scholes, G Nev, Rooney, De Gea and Keane – win five titles for one of the most demanding managers in history, overcome a bout of depression, take and nail a penalty in a Champions League final without having strength of character. You don’t captain United for a season unless you have leadership qualities.
Leadership comes in differing forms. Carrick is a quiet leader, who will have his say behind closed doors, for the players, not for the cameras. Not for show. Carrick has a big job on at Manchester United but don’t doubt his determination to get it right. Because he cares about the Club, the staff, the players and the fans. Good luck to him. #MUFC

Carrick: "I am talking to you quite calm but I am not calm inside, enjoying the day. I played here [at United] for a long time. We don't all have to shout + scream + create some chaos. Calmness doesn't mean there is not emotion in it." #MUFC
Can't understand those who think we're signing a flop. Yes, his form wasn't great last season, but if you had your dream move scuppered + had some injury issues, I don't think you'd be at top form either.
He's gonna be class for us. Can't wait to see Baleba silence the doubters
