🚨 Broad agreement in place for Michael Carrick to become permanent head coach of Manchester United. Work continues between all parties to finalise contracts for Englishman & backroom staff after 2+1yr deal offered to former #MUFC midfielder @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/7iMc4UVvwm
@Tillian1243@JohnnnCurry Thank you both and hope you've both had a wonderful day! I don't spend much time on this app anymore (and stopped posting tweets altogether) but I do miss chatting FC UT stuff with you both and may continue do it occasionally via Messages 😅.
@JohnnnCurry I agree with that. Honestly, whatever. I’ve accepted a top half finish is best case scenario. I don’t really lose my mind over this club anymore until they show themselves to be competent.
@JohnnnCurry It’s okay if he drifts too much and helps in the creativity. That’s why you don’t play him in midfield. If he’s played in #10 role, you drop one of your new signings so that’s wasteful especially now with one game a week.
As for signings, what else is new than to leave it late?
@Tillian1243 This is what happens when you play a guy, who excels at #8 and takes adequate risks, out of position in a #6 role where he isn't suited and his risks can be costly in your own territory. Not to mention alongside Casemiro who doesn't have the legs. That midfield is a tragedy.
@farlieonfootie Because, in addition to being incompetent, we lost leverage when it was disclosed Garnacho can leave and has no future at the club. Other clubs will try a low-ball offer, get a loan deal or come in late in the window for a cut-price deal. INEOS have been so disastrous.
@Tillian1243 If he managed my club, I’d want him sacked on the spot (as well as any execs that were involved) for having stuck with him, supported him and trying to extend his contract at one point while dragging this into the summer. Pretty embarrassing look for him and the club.
@WayneSBarton I’ll definitely be leaving a well deserved raving review on Amazon for both books. I’m definitely hooked with the summer reads so planning to check out some of your other publications too (Da Silva twins, 95-96 season, relegation season etc). Your work has been stupendous!
@WayneSBarton I just bought this book. It’s next on my list of summer reads having finished the long overdue reading of your books on Duncan Edwards and George Best. They were both so exceptional & eloquent; especially enjoyed Best book which give me answers to some hard pressing questions. ♥️
@CallMeMeech_ 💯
He’s exactly what they needed too, as they lacked an isolation guy who can create their own shot and be elite from the perimeter. To get him whilst keeping Sengun and Amen is remarkable.
@TheBusbyBoys But with that also comes the PL tax and overpaying for some players. We faced that issue in the past and that presents a more challenges after not winning Europa. I hope we can sell Antony, Mount, Onana, Sancho and possibly Rashford to fund for it. I don’t wish to see Bruno sold.
@The2RobbiesNBC@robbiemustoe@PLinUSA@NBCSportsSoccer@NBCSports Really amazing work with the podcasts all year. I always look forward to them and really enjoy the well-balanced nature of it in terms of how you cover the teams and the length of details you both go into.
