This is the first time in #mufc’s 148-year history that they have sacked two managers in the same calendar year. Also the first time that they have sacked managers in three successive seasons.
🚨Michael Carrick on IG 💔
Michael Carrick:
“Manchester United will always hold a special place in my heart. This club gave me some of the greatest moments of my playing and coaching career, and leaving this position is incredibly difficult.
I want to thank the fans for their incredible support, even during the difficult moments. You stood behind me, believed in the team and continued to show what this football club means to you.
I’m disappointed that things haven’t worked out the way we all hoped. I gave everything I had to this job, and I will always wish things had ended differently.
To the players, staff and everyone who works tirelessly behind the scenes, thank you for your commitment and support.
Manchester United is bigger than any manager. I genuinely hope the club finds success again and returns to where it belongs.
Once a Red, always a Red. ❤️”
So the failed useless hierarchy at @ManUtd have thrown Michael Carrick under the bus…and guess what? They all survive. Again. Not one of them is held accountable for their absolute failure. It’s an absolute disgrace. Shameful!
The thing with the Glazer/Ratcliffe incarnation of Manchester United is the way they seem to save so much of their disrespect for those who love the club most - season ticket holders and legends like Michael Carrick.
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.
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.
The position of @ManUtd head coach has been rendered a hollow concept as the owners have humiliated Michael Carrick.
Like everything else, they’ve disgraced the heritage of the institution they’re custodians of.
Long read for @the1878news

The way Michael Carrick is being treated tells you everything you need to know about the owners and the direction our once great club is going. They are complete and utter bast**ds 🤬😡
The fact United briefed the media on Monday that Carrick was being sacked, then briefed this morning that Pochettino is set to be appointed, all while Carrick hasn’t even been informed and is expected to take training as normal, is a JOKE!
If you decided to sack him on Monday, then sack him on Monday! Stop dragging him through your incompetent decision-making. It’s embarrassing.
The club need to come out and speak…
There needs to be open dialogue. How have we got to this point?
Talk about their way of working…
How Carrick is being treated?
How have they got to this point in moving forward with Poch?
Will record shortly my thoughts 💭
What a fantastic day at Windsor Castle to receive my MBE from Prince William. I was dead nervous beforehand, but was then ok chatting with him about football and our work with the homeless over the last 10 years at the Macari Centre.
