I saw a Manchester United fan on Sky Sports earlier saying the club shouldn’t consider anyone other than Michael Carrick as manager. I completely disagree.
It feels like everyone in the studio is only looking at the results, not the performances. We’ve been down this road before with Solskjær — good runs and good vibes but without a clear long-term structure.
If United fall into that same trap again, I fear it ends the same way. The club needs to think bigger than just short-term results. And I hope INEOS make the right call.
I rate what Michael Carrick has done so far — he’s steady and the results have been decent. But if we’re thinking long-term, I still believe Manchester United need a manager with a clear philosophy. That’s why I’d take Luis Enrique.
What I want is a properly coached team with a defined way of playing — the kind where opponents know exactly what’s coming but still can’t stop it. Look at PSG the last couple of years under Enrique: structure, patterns, identity.
I don’t want a United side full of talented players who show up when they feel like it. At times under Solskjær and even Carrick it feels more like good vibes than real coaching — players expressing themselves but without a clear system.
If the goal is to win the Premier League and Champions League again, vibes alone won’t get us there.
West Ham United intend to set an asking price of £80million ($108m) for midfielder Mateus Fernandes.
The relegated club need to raise £150m this summer and Fernandes is one of their most saleable assets. The Portugal international joined for £38m last summer from Southampton, who negotiated a 15 per cent sell-on fee.
Manchester United are interested in signing the 21-year-old, having held talks over a potential fee and wages. Paris Saint-Germain are also among his suitors.
West Ham are yet to receive any approaches for Fernandes.

Simon Jordan talking nothing but facts about why everyone laughs at Arsenal:
🗣️“They're quite an obnoxious bunch, the Arsenal fans... those mouthy little twits at AFTV… Piers Morgan… and then you have all the splinter groups of these awful characters…”
I love the angle taken by @kenearlys on the Champions League final.
He’s absolutely right to dedicate so much time to how Arsenal waste time 🗑️
The drinking water and human life lines 🤣
@FkBanned@keheier Hyllet dommeren. Men du klarer jo ikke lese. «fkBanned» usikker på hvem som er en flau type, du klarer jo ikke tyde noe jeg skriver riktig. Tolker det som en barnerumpe, noe du sikkert er. Gjør leksene dine gutt!
@keheier@FkBanned Fikk beskjed om at jeg holdt med City pga mitt lag var bedritent. Sa aldri at vi fikk et trofé for å slå dere på emirates, det er bare fakta. Tørr gjeng ass.
