Most reliable sources.

Ornstein & Law of “official” journalists.

Don’t believe every random report.

Not even Di Marzio or Nizaar reliable recently.

Michael Carrick knows the industry but for #MUFC leaders to let him take training two days running while clearly working on his dismissal, with no real communication, is poor treatment. Carrick served United superbly as a player + worked diligently as head coach. Deserves better.

[Mark Goldbridge @markgoldbridge]

Exclusive! Poch wasn't the universal choice but Wilcox got the final say again...

[James Ducker @TelegraphDucker]

Michael Carrick is expected to be informed on Thursday that he’s been sacked as #MUFC manager. Nothing set in stone or confirmed yet but that’s the expectation as things stand. Jason Wilcox, the United DofF, and CEO Omar Berrada are due to fly back from Monaco tonight. Seems likely they will then meet Carrick face to face at some point on Thursday. United have lined up Mauricio Pochettino to replace Carrick. He’s still currently expected to take charge of the two US games v Haiti.

What about the players he didn't pick? What about the injuries? How much has the changes come from Caicedo missing for several games and losing Enzo with no replacement? Joao Pedro has missed 50% of our games through injury with no obvious replacement.

What about his new signings' injuries?

Marco Palestra just recently started his first match and will need time to settle in.

Jordan Henderson missed our first 4, simultaneously as Moi.

Lacroix has missed the last 2 games.

Even with a fully fit squad — which we haven't had — it's still an incomplete squad. The injuries make it worse and also require some additional tinkering by the manager who is trying to find rhythm in a new squad, hence the constant changes.

You also didn't adress the club culture he came into — nor the injuries for that matter.

Again, I also don't think he's been as great as I expected (yet) but I also feel there are plenty of reasons for that.

It's also wishful thinking that he was going to walk in her and just turn it all around in a couple of weeks.

That's simply not how it works. Just look at similar examples of coaches taking over messy organisations. Klopp didn't win anything for 4 years at Liverpool and Arteta didn't make UCL until his fourth year.

I want to see a lot more from Alonso as well but I also realize he's been dealt a poor hand early on. I also don't think we should be having a complete review of his performance until at the very least the end of his first season.

“The Pochettino part is done, he’s lined up — subject to Carrick being let go.”

🚨 Mauricio Pochettino to Man United is now a done deal. Avram Glazer joined a virtual call to sign off on the deal. [@SunSport] #mufc

[Pete Crowther @thechelskikid]

Without Caicedo we conceded goals for fun but scored plenty.
With Joao out of the side we concede very few but can't score.
When they have both played we won both games comfortably.
We just need Joao back and the world will look rosy again imo.

🚨 JUST IN: Josh Acheampong has withdrawn from the England U21 squad.

🚨 For now the power in rectruitment will REMAIN with Jason Wilcox.

Pochettino will act like a manager REGARDLESS of titles, wanting SIGNIFICANT say over recruitment. [@JacobsBen @UnitedStandMUFC] #mufc

“Chelsea want Champions League football again with a top-four/five finish.

If Xabi Alonso can't achieve that, though, it seems unlikely he'd lose his job.”

YES. Stability at last
