I AM UNDER HOUSE ARREST
Dozens of armed guards surround my house while the government version says 'I have been advised to stay at home'. All for asking uncomfortable questions like... why is the Judicial Enquiry Commission Report (of last year's killings in Leh) is delayed & a phoney Council election is foisted on people with rocket speed in mid winter.
Whole of Ladakh is in protest.

MUST statement on Michael Carrick’s departure
https://t.co/kH5C7iP2q6

[Football Factly @FootballFactly]

Michael Carrick wanted Tchouameni, they gave him Baleba.

Wanted Bruno G, they gave him Santos.

Wanted Tonali, they gave him Tielemans.

Wanted a back up goalkeeper, they signed 35 years old Darlow.

Wanted a striker, they brought back Rashford.

Wanted a left back, they signed none.

Michael Carrick was NOT the problem

[GOAL @goal]

Peter Schmeichel has accused Manchester United of treating Michael Carrick with disrespect 💢

[Saurav @Wazza2188]

Forever a legend.
Class on and off the pitch.
History will be kinder to him, at a time when the club has been at its lowest, he came in and showed what standards the club must adhere to no matter what.
Class 👏

[Andy Mitten @AndyMitten]

Michael Carrick sacked by MUFC.
Top lad, got the team in the Champions League against expectations. Gave it his all, night and day. Protected others, never threw anyone under a bus. Worked in difficult circumstances. Leaves with head held high. I wish him and his staff the very best.

[Suhasini Haidar @suhasinih]

Government grants Norwegian journalist Helle Lyng a visa to travel to Hyderabad, but Embassy tells her it is cancelled just as she heads to airport. If this is about her comments to PM and Secy(West) in Oslo in May, why was visa issued? And once issued, why cancel? Awaiting MEA explanation https://t.co/9XEB8yUnaw

🚨🗣️ @alex_crook: “Michael Carrick is a man of honour who deserves BETTER than being put through the farce of having to take training for TWO days knowing his exit is being plotted 1,000 miles away in Monaco.

“But the lack of dignity and respect Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada are showing to a club legend who saved their skins last season is symbolic of the club Pochettino will be walking into.” #MUFC

[Sam Pilger @sampilger]

If Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada remains in their roles the alarming aspect for United fans is it would suggest Sir Jim Ratcliffe has lost interest in the project and is now content to coast along.

[Dylan McBennett @DylanMcbennett7]

As Sir Jim Ratcliffe awaited Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada's arrival in Monaco, a man across the English Channel stood tall to take charge of the club they're running into the ground.

Michael Carrick deserves more.

How about you sack Wilcox @INEOS

Re: Mauricio Pochettino and Manchester United. From the United States of America to the United States of Disrepair. Managerial churn may have short-term gain but problems remain as Pochettino will discover if/when he leaves USMNT for United. Michael Carrick is the Red Man Walking. So you can understand why the risk-averse board would go for Poch. United were linked with Pochettino in 2016, 2019, 2024. It seems destined.

Pochettino is “gettable”, with that £7m release clause, but United must also take into account the cost of recruiting his staff. United’s board is not currently known for operating with respect – as its shameful handling of Carrick’s exit highlights - but it also must be mindful of Pochettino’s important work with USMNT over the next week: the Concacaf Nations League quarter-final against Haiti in Miami on Saturday and then Cincinnati on Wednesday.

He is a very good manager, just below elite level (Luis Enrique, Jurgen Klopp, Carlo Ancelotti, Mikel Arteta, Pep Guardiola, Unai Emery etc and the rising Fabian Hurzeler). Pochettino knows English football and has a reputation for playing good football, promoting youth and living with budget restrictions – all qualities attractive to the board.

"Poch" is a very engaging character (as are his staff) and will receive a largely warm welcome from the media he has always got on with. But Pochettino has a point to prove that he is not past his peak and will need to convince many sceptical United fans. They will back the new man, because that’s what United’s remarkable match-going faithful do. Many would prefer Antonio Conte to come in and shake up the dressing-room and boardroom and challenge the not-best-in-class Jason Wilcox, the director of football who badly let down Carrick in the summer. But Poch it is.

He needs better players. Pochettino favours a high press, far more intense than the half-hearted press offered by some United players. His tactics involve a high line - good luck with that with Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt at centre-back. He likes to play out from the back, risky with some of the defenders.

He’s worked with top strikers like Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe. He’ll find the No 9 wearing No 30 and in the treatment room. Pochettino likes to play (often) with a double pivot. Kobbie Mainoo is certainly good enough and has the quality in possession but would need a more defensive force alongside - which is Carlos Baleba, a player deemed surplus to requirements at Brighton. Poch likes attacking full-backs who can also defend well. United need to sign some. Good luck to Pochettino - he'll need it. #MUFC

[Steven Railston @StevenRailston]

It is absurd that Michael Carrick has reported to Carrington again today. And it wouldn’t be a shock if this drags on until tomorrow. Ineos can’t even get a sacking right. What a mess #mufc

[Saurav @Wazza2188]

@StretfordPaddck Out again through the door in 9 months.

[Laurie Whitwell @lauriewhitwell]

Meeting in Monaco is biannual INEOS summit for the organisation's CEOs, long-scheduled for November 10.

Omar Berrada + Jason Wilcox due to fly out to attend. Usually topics are long-term, business-related. Clearly #MUFC head coach discussed this time.

[Matthew McFadyen @_maffoo]

> 20 November - Returns from injury

> 28 November - Man of the Match against Brentford

> Trusted as Poch's first choice left back

> Board don't sign one in January

> 12 February - Hamstring injury, out until April

[Mirror Football @MirrorFootball]

Sir Jim Ratcliffe is the real problem at Man Utd - he's put clueless yes-men in charge, writes @TyMarshall_MEN

https://t.co/emSp4AjOxQ

[Gordon Burns @mrgordonburns]

If Sir Jim @ManUtd is really the strong decisive businessman he is reputed to be then let him be bold. Tell Carrick he’s got the job for foreseeable future & sack Director of Football who bought NO defenders for him in summer. Totally shocking & unacceptable.

[Samuel Luckhurst @samuelluckhurst]

Carrick has left - Carrington. He spent just over seven hours at #mufc's training ground while the chief executive and director of football go off to Monaco to sack him at their own leisure.

[The 1958 @The__1958]

*THE CLUB IS BURNING AND FAN CULTURE IS BEING ATTACKED*

Fan anger growing. Pressure mounting. And right on cue, the club starts leaking stories to the press about the next manager.

Same old distraction tactics. Same old cowardice.

Don’t fall for it.

Wilcox and Berrada have overseen a shambles. Incompetent. Cowardly. Both need to go.

And so do the Glazers and INEOS.

Another manager won’t fix a rotten football club. Another shiny appointment won’t erase years of betrayal. A shambles of a stadium process with some unusual results not reflective of sentiment in the ground.

*DON’T LET THE NOISE DISTRACT YOU FROM THE REAL PROBLEM*

The ownership. The leadership. The systematic destruction of everything Manchester United once stood for.

GLAZERS OUT. INEOS OUT.
