You go think say fuck sweet, until you're being paid for it.. E go come turn work.
It's a whole different level of nacks..

Manchester United are looking to sign either Maxi Araujo from sporting Lisbon or Lewis hall from Newcastle to play as Leftback.
Maxi Araujo reminds me of Alex telles, so I will keep off.
Lewis hall will always be the better option and coupled with the fact that he is premier league proven player. He should be first choice.
Sir Alex Ferguson always signed the best even if they were expensive not cheap.
We spent huge money to sign Sesko cause he is the best and can be the best and he has elevated our attack.
We need to bring out huge money also and sign the best midfielder Elliot Anderson cause he will elevate our midfield.
Angelo Stiller, Carlos Baleba and Matheus Fernandes are now looking like the 3 likely signings Manchester United will go for this summer.
Elliot Anderson is going to Manchester City.
Adam Wharton is likened to Kobbie Mainoo.
Sandro Tonali wages will be too high.
Angelo stiller cost £40M.
Carlos Baleba coast £70M &
Matheus Fernandes will cost £50M.
These three have massive potentials but for the DM position, these young lads don’t cut the bill.
Experience is needed in that role, and someone with leadership, bite, physicality, agility and also good on the ball and off the ball with positional awareness.
Jim Thwaites is making a case to inherit Bruno’s creative throne and be the successor of Bruno.
JIM THWAITES is regarded as a Paul Scholes regen and likened to Pedri, and having a play style of Beckham and better than Adam Wharton.
Jim Thwaites is a creative midfielder, a No 8, a box to box midfielder, Known for excellent passing range, close control, set-piece ability; scoring crazy freekicks for fun and has great vision. He is a link between the defense and the attack.
This kid, groomed properly under Bruno would in no time take the responsibility of being United creative monster when Bruno is gone.
Jim Thwaites is born to replace Bruno.
Under Amorim;
Bryan Mbeumo 7 goals and 2 assists
Amad diallo 2 goals and 2 assists
Matheus Cunha 6 goals and 1 assist.
Sesko 2 goals and 0 assist. (Went on injury)
Under Carrick.
Bryan Mbeumo 2 goals and 1 assist
Amad diallo 0 goal and 0 assist
Matheus Cunha 3 goals and 1 assist
Benjamin Sesko 7 goals and 1 assist.
Under Ruben Amorim, everyone was a contributor, it was more of a team performance cause there is a system of play.
Under Michael Carrick, some players are left out, it's more of individual performance and Bruno is back to being our only source of creativity.
We are going into next season, without Casemiro set piece threat, goals which had saved us points.
Carrick has made our attackers look lost in his no style of play, instead of our attackers to be firing and being creators and goal scorers, they more like a dummy waiting for Bruno ball.
Manchester United fans begging for Ederson like they didn’t spend years complaining about Fred.
Ederson is basically Fred with better PR and Serie A tax. United fans spent years begging to upgrade from Fred, only to circle back to Fred 2.0 in ederson.
Ederson is just Fred with more power, calmer ball carrying, and stronger duel presence.
Ederson isn’t a pure holding midfielder (DM) just like Fred but Ederson’s size and athleticism make him look more suited to deeper roles.
Also ederson nature sees him roam a lot and that can be a disadvantage cause, it ends up vacating the midfield and leaves spaces behind.
REASON WHY CARRICK WILL FAIL;
irrespective of Carrick not having a style of play and tactics, new signings time of adaptation and adjustments either to the league, style of football, teammates and country will affect him.
Carrick couldn’t integrate new signings at Middlesbrough talk more of United.
So Even if you back Carrick with incredible signings, he will still fail.
Every player has an adaptation period before they pick (unless you’re Ronaldo and Bruno who can hit the ground running)
Sesko missed a lot of chances under Amorim that would have won us games because he was adapting to the league, his teammates movements and needed Bruno guidance.
Mbeumo was called fat and needed time to adapt to the squad before he started scoring likewise Cunha.
Dorgu was called shit/dogpoo until Amorim played him as RW and he started finding his form as a winger and Carrick played him on the LW.
Lammens was introduced in the right game in order not to put pressure on him.
Same for cunha etc.
The midfielders that united will buy will need an adaptation period which will highly affect how we play (Liverpool are good examples of what new signings and adaptation period looks like).
Our midfield without Casemiro leadership and experience and defense is shaky even when he is on the pitch some teams find it easy to play through us.
Without a solid tactics in the midfield set up Carrick will be so exposed next season.
Adaptation period will affect our season like it did Amorim with ( cunha, Mbeumo, Dorgu, Sesko), like it did ole (Ronaldo, Sancho, etc) and Arne slot Liverpool ( Isak, ekitike, Kerkez, frimpong) etc.
If the moral goes down from there, it will keep getting worse and worse.
Data comparing Casemiro to these list of players and showing which player to buy as a DM and is a better Defensive midfielder;
• Aurelien Tchouameni
• Carlos Baleba
• Joao Gomes
• Adam Wharton
• Angelo Stiller
A thread
AURELIEN TCHOUAMENI. DATA
Ruud Van Nistelrooy has a short good interim spell at Manchester United and got the Leicester city coaching job and was sacked and Michael Carrick path is no different.
Handling an interim position is way different from being the permanent manager. As an interim winning is all that matters but as a permanent manager;
• How you win matters a lot and scrappy wins won’t be tolerated.
• Style of play matters.
• Consistency matters.
• Managing egos and personality matters. Etc.
These are factors Ruud Van Nistelrooy suffered at Leicester City and was sacked and these are factors Carrick will encounter too.
(Fletcher, Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Carrick thinks it’s by dressing up like Sir Alex Ferguson until reality hit them in the face)
MATHEUS FERNANDES
He is a 8/ central midfielder who is good at ball winning and also ball carrying. He is not a tempo setter but a ball transition player.
He is so suited for counter attacking style of play.
Matheus Fernandes Comp.
Six wingers (Leftwingers) Manchester United have shown interest in are;
• Yan Diamonde
• Illman Ndiaye
• Crysencio Summerville
• Harry Wilson
• Mateus Mane
• Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
Yan Diamonde and khvicha Kvaratskhelia are the best of the best on this list in terms of output and game play, both are elite leftwingers with great stats and data to back it.
Harry Wilson can be signed on a free transfer and won’t cost in signing as a replacement to Mason Mount and will bolster squad depth for next season.
Mateus Mane is young and still a raw as a left winger with potential and high ceiling.
Summerville and Ndiaye are also proven premier league wingers, that are good at take ons and breaking low blocks and can be options also.
Diomande can do things Cunha wouldn’t try…
In Yan Diomonde, you getting those piece/features that’s missing in Cunha game; An engine in going forward, burst of pace on the wings, unpredictable, take on obsession, a low block breaker.
Yan is great in cutting inside and giving assists or crossing into the box in game, quick-play/counter, less back passes and more take ons.
He will be a great addition in midfield to the squad.
🇨🇮🌟| Yan Diomonde
🧑💼: 21years.
♣️: RB Leipzig
📌: LW
↕️: 5′11″ (1.80m)
👣: Right
💰: £80 - £100M
⭐️: 9.0
Yan Diomonde is the kind of winger defenders hate. He is raw, fearless, and built to disrupt games and breaking down low blocks.
✅: 1v1 monster, attacks spaces, unpredictable with the ball, good end product, confident risk taker, dribbler, fast paced.
🤝: Allan Saint-Maximin, Jeremy Doku and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
⚠️: Comparisons highlight certain attributes; it doesn’t mean he plays exactly like the player.
🧠 • Elite acceleration over short distances.
• Close control at speed
• Confidence to take risks repeatedly
• Carries the ball up the pitch with ease
👉 He is not a passer winger, Not a possession recycler, Not overly tactical.
⚠️ Weaknesses
• End product: Final pass/shot still inconsistent
• Decision-making: Can choose the harder option too often
• Tactical discipline: Not always in sync with structured systems
🎯 Ceiling
If he refines his decision-making and adds composure in the final third, he could develop into something close to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia or a more controlled version of Allan Saint-Maximin.
