🤯 With Ruben Amorim's sacking earlier this season, and Michael Carrick's appointment, an infamous streak will continue:
🇳🇱 Matthijs de Ligt has had a new Head Coach at the start of every new season of his professional football career:
2016/17 — Peter Bosz (Ajax)
2017/18 — Marcel Keizer (Ajax)
2018/19 — Erik ten Hag (Ajax)
2019/20 — Maurizio Sarri (Juve)
2020/21 — Andrea Pirlo (Juve)
2021/22 — Max Allegri (Juve)
2022/23 — Julian Nagelsmann (Bayern)
2023/24 — Thomas Tuchel (Bayern)
2024/25 — Erik ten Hag (Man Utd)
2025/26 — Ruben Amorim (Man Utd)
2026/27 — Michael Carrick (Man Utd)
It’s Carrick, you know. Can’t believe the chippiness from Scholes. It’s Carrick who's helping out the club he loves, stepping into the breach after Amorim’s meltdown. You can question Carrick's subs against 10 men. Amad could have been earlier. Heaven can play left-back - Malacia's so off the pace. It’s not Carrick's squad. Areas need strengthening, full-back, central midfield, probably a winger. You can’t question Carrick’s commitment.
Carrick’s only intention is to help out Manchester United. It’s not about him. It’s about the club. It’s about making the fans believe again, proud of their team again. It’s about starting the rebuilding. United’s board are being very sensible. Give Carrick until the end of the season, get them in the Champions League, and then make a decision on permanent head coach. There's far more chance of getting an elite manager if in the CL. Carrick’s not perfect but at least he’s chipping in, not being chippy. #MUFC
