David Ornstein says Manchester United had decided by 9am Monday that Michael Carrick would be sacked.
Yet 48 hours & two training sessions at Carrington later, he still hasn't been informed by the club - also finalising a deal for Mauricio Pochettino to replace him.
Shameful.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Manchester United finalising deal to appoint Mauricio Pochettino if ultimate decision made to replace Michael Carrick. 54yo lined up & terms being done with camp. #MUFC yet to contact US but straight-forward should plan proceed @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/YTEGRxbVpF
- Conte will demand a lot of signings.
- Nagelsmann will demand a lot of signings.
You know who's happy to work with whatever he's given? Pochettino.
INEOS have found their new puppet and it's becoming pretty obvious why they want him.
No manager appointment excites me anymore. The clock has reset regardless.
The core issue is still the ownership and their ambition.
We cannot compete without a vision.
What an absolute farce @ManUtd. Sacked via the media unofficially first. For this to continue any longer is a disgrace. Carrick might not be the right man, but you are showing him zero respect. Horrific treatment. #MUFC
What an absolute shower of shit United is. Meeting tomorrow now to discuss Carrick & maybe tell him Thursday. He's been sacked by the media last night. Why are we so slow and incompetent at everything. Get these owners and board members OUT
🚨 BBC Sport are reporting that Michael Carrick’s future at Manchester United will be decided following a meeting in Monaco on Wednesday involving Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox.
There is a growing expectation that Berrada and Wilcox will recommend Carrick’s dismissal to Ratcliffe and the Glazer family.
United have slipped to 18th in the Premier League following Sunday’s 4-4 draw with Aston Villa.
A final decision may not come until Thursday.
@StretfordPaddck@MailSport He’s been hung out to dry all season. Didn’t get backing in the window. Didnt receive any backing post Bournemouth. Told to take training on day he’s expected to be sacked.
“Best in class” at it again.
Provided he still survives at #mufc, Jason Wilcox should either address United supporters in a three-minute video without blinking or flank the new manager at his first press conference. He's accountable, owes supporters explanations and there are many unanswered questions.
