There are places we pass through in life… and there are places that become part of who we are.
Manchester will forever be my home.
To the city, the club, and every supporter, my sincerest thank you. These past four years have been unforgettable, filled with moments my family and I will carry with us for the rest of our lives. There simply aren’t enough words to describe the happiness and warmth we’ve felt here.
Thank you for every cheer, every memory, and for making us feel at home from the very first day.
Forever a Red Devil ❤️
@strootsys Istirahatnya udah cukup, saatnya buktiin. Ini bukan laga biasa, ini Battle of the Roses, dan darah Lancashire nggak pernah dingin. Come on United, tunjukin siapa yang sebenarnya layak menang di sini. GGMU. 🔴
Agree with Silva on this, unfortunately. Emotions aside - and there are always strong emotions when big ex-players are involved - but there have been substantial issues for a while now.
Carrick has done a very decent job, and his results have truly been excellent.
He steadied the ship with plenty of common sense fixes & better player platforming. But if you watch the games, there are clear signs he might not be the best long-term solution.
The two are not mutually exclusive. We can praise Carrick for the caretaker job while remaining wary about the future.
To be clear, there are mitigating factors:
- taking over mid-season
- squad gaps: limited LW options that offer width and pace (only Dorgu), no playmaking DM, etc.
- numerous seasons spent on drilling very flawed game models
But United need to aim for the best manager available, with experience from Top 5 leaguex, tactical ideas to compete with the best minds in PL.
Palace easily manipulated our OOP structure, whether we pressed or sat off.
Clear signs of miscommunication and a lack of clarity on when to defend space and when to jump the man.
More than once two players press the same man needlessly. Worrying signs.
Bruno for the first goal:
✧ City breaking out of the first phase, Bruno can’t even be arsed sprinting to chase down his man.
✧ Then he ball watches for the goal, zero scanning! Foden even runs past him, he doesn’t care.
Where would we be without him?
I respect it but this is bad news for us.
If he stays, he’ll play as a 6. That means another poor soul will get all the hate because our midfield will be inexistent from Bruno’s awful positional and tactical discipline.
Casemiro hated, Ugarte hated, Mainoo doesn’t even get to start there anymore and a new midfielder will get hated within months while people will completely ignore the root cause of the issue because ‘he creates chances’.
An uncomfortable truth that will be labelled as an agenda but you can bookmark this tweet because it will happen.
