🚨🎙️ Zlatan Ibrahimović Backs Michael Carrick to Win the Premier League with Manchester United:
🗣️Reporter:"Zlatan, who do you think will win the Premier League this season?"
🗣️Zlatan: "Manchester United. I don't say that because I played there. I say it because I believe Michael Carrick has what it takes to bring the title back to Old Trafford."
"Carrick understands football. He doesn't need to shout to lead. His ideas are clear, the players trust him, and that's how champions are built."
"People will laugh today, but they'll remember these words in May. If United stay fit and follow Carrick, they'll win the Premier League."
"Mark my words, Manchester United will be champions with Michael Carrick in charge."
🚨🗣️ Thierry Henry was impressed with Shea Lacey's performance against Atlético Madrid:
"I will use the word "Special" to describe him"
"Manchester united academy is one of the best in England, premier league teams haven't figured out how to stop kobbie Mainoo yet and united academy just introduced Shea Lacey"
"He is a very fast thinker and he's quick with his feets, he is one to watch out for next season"
🚨 Rio Ferdinand on why Michael Carrick is so excited about Shea Lacey:
“I asked Michael what impressedd him most about Shea. I thought he’d mention the dribbling. Or the left foot. Instead he said, ‘He gives me options.’
I asked him what he meant. He said, ‘If they man mark Bruno, I can put Shea there to free roam and move Bruno somewhere else. The plan they’ve spent all week working on disappears in five seconds.’
Then I watched Shea against Atletico . The freedom. The little spaces he kept finding. The penalty he won. Suddenly I understood what Michael meant.
The biggest compliment you can give a young player isn’t that he’s talented. It’s that a manager starts changing his tactics because of him.”
🚨🎙️ Javier Hernández on Marcus Rashford and Matheus Cunha competing for the left wing:
🗣️ Presenter: “We all know Rashford is the more experienced player and a more natural winger than Matheus Cunha. But with both available next season, who deserves to start more often on the left wing?”
🗣️ Javier Hernández: “For me, the answer is simple.
Whoever is in better form should play.
This has become a sentimental debate rather than a football one.
If Rashford is playing better than Cunha, then Rashford starts.
If Cunha is playing better than Rashford, then Cunha starts.
That’s how competition should work at a club like Manchester United.
Nobody should have a guaranteed place.
Both players need to fight for that position every single week, and whoever is most ready should be in the starting XI.
That’s healthy for the team.
The good thing about Rashford coming back is that it also gives United more flexibility.
If Rashford starts on the left, Cunha can easily move into the central role, where I actually think he’s at his best.
That kind of competition is exactly what Manchester United have been missing for years.”
🚨🚨🎙️| Kobbie Mainoo when asked who’s one to watch for next season at Manchester United:
“I’d say Patrick [Dorgu]. I’d say he can go up another level again. In training, some of the stuff he’s doing, you can see him really pushing.”
