Ooooo I see.
Is everyone just pretending to be outraged because they’re desperate for Carrick to work out, and if he’s crap this season, they can say INEOS failed him?
Remember. You guys set the precedent that the manager plays with a controller not me🩸#mufc
Another obvious reality is the fact that Bruno should have been playing next to Casemiro tonight, but if Carrick did that, people would compare it to Amorim.
Like I said, its time to be honest🩸#MUFC
Our players suit a 3-4-3 to a tee, baring a new midfielder, but lets keep shoehorning Mbeumo/Cunha to the touchline and takeaway Amad's confidence and tactical understanding to prove a point.
Great idea🩸#MUFC
The PSL is coming up and that is very exciting for many millions of cricket fans.
We have always wondered what PSL stands for and it turns out it means Petrol Shortage League.
🔴 Post-Match — Elite Standard Review‼️
We lost to 10-man Newcastle.
That alone should tell you something.
This wasn’t just a bad result.
It exposed structural issues we’ve been ignoring.
Let’s be clear:
We’ve been overperforming underlying numbers for weeks.
Moments have saved us — not control.
Tonight, that caught up with us.
When a team goes down to 10 men, the responsibility shifts.
You control tempo.
You stretch the pitch.
You create overloads.
You increase crossing volume.
You force defensive rotations.
We did none of that consistently.
Instead, it felt disjointed.
Shape unclear. Roles overlapping. No defined central control.
That’s tactical responsibility.
Now the midfield:
Casemiro is doing the defensive screening.
But when he leaves, the structure collapses.
That’s not coincidence anymore — that’s pattern.
Mainoo is talented, but receiving and recycling the ball is not the same as progressing the game. As an 8, you must:
• Drive forward
• Break lines
• Accelerate tempo
• Support transitions
That level wasn’t there tonight.
And when the midfield lacks progression, possession becomes sterile.
We ended up with the ball — but no authority.
That’s the difference between having possession and controlling a game.
Now the bigger issue:
We don’t have a clearly repeatable attacking structure in sustained possession.
It often feels reactive — waiting for a mistake, a moment, or individual brilliance.
That’s not sustainable at elite level.
Results masked this in previous weeks.
Today it didn’t.
This isn’t panic.
It’s pattern recognition.
If standards are truly elite, then:
• Game management must improve
• Midfield balance must be addressed
• Tactical clarity must become visible
Because losing to 10 men isn’t about luck.
It’s about control.
The only advantage Carrick got over Ruben was luck.
Man had so many lucky moments it was exactly the opposite for Ruben.
He has to go down as the unluckiest man in football. We controlled and dominated games this season but result didn't go our way, something was cooking.
The truth will always come to light no matter what
Y’all fools ran the nastiest agenda on Amorim when the real problem has been starring in our faces for years even before Amorim
Bravo guys 👏🏽👏🏽
I was made to believe it is only Ruben Amorim that can lose to a 10 man red carded team? Manchester United fans know little about football. I want to hear from you all , why did Manchester United lose to a 10 man Newcastle team. I need you lot to be very loud now just like you were months ago.
United have a huge midfield problem.
We have two midfielders that can't run. You can make an excuse for Casemiro but what's Mainoo's excuse?
If at 20 Mainoo can't run, doesn't have ample positional sense or even enough physicality for this league then it's a waste of time.
Mainoo doesn’t have the physicality or mobility to play in a midfield 2, certainly not in this league. You hated Amorim for it, and you hate it even more that he was right. Go and look at our possession numbers since Mainoo came into the team. You’ll find it quite interesting.
