manchester, utd, recycling tweets and opinions for a while

@NathSalt1 It’ll be great for his development when shaw gets injured & he’s playing 1st team football

[tom @tommallows]

@Malachians This one’s also down to the player lowering his expectations and presumably pay, opening up more club options. Doubt he’d have gone to Villa straight from us?

[tom @tommallows]

@htomufc Phillips spend millions on advertising, sales attribution, PR and one tweet with a genuine recommendation is actually the thing that sells the product to someone (me)

[tom @tommallows]

@Malachians @BBCMOTD He's completely gone, I think he genuinely believes he is doing this for the good of football. Alot of people reach this state of delusion when they taste the irresistible combination of money and power

@danielstorey85 @Ankaman616 I think Man United did this from 2013 - 2024

@Cantona_Collars A+

@HiddenYorkshire @honigstein at least we know he wrote it

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Imagine if a candidate of any other party was found to have deleted an account with so many disgustingly offensive posts. I suspect we will hear very little of this as the Double Standards Squad continue to ply their trade to the benefit of the 5 million pound man

@DesireMUFC Stronger bench

People melting down about Carrick likely getting the job now. Obviously.

Nobody on social media knows the right decision. Nobody. There's risks appointing him. There's risks appointing someone else - and I'd say they're a hell of a lot more expensive too.

The football hasn't been great at all times, I acknowledge. But you can't argue with the record. You DON'T currently know at present whether the style you're seeing is a short-term measure to get a job done or his actual preferred style of play. For me, it's the former, he hinted at it recently too. But I don't know either.

You also DON'T know if Nagelsmann or any of the other great tacticians in Europe or the PL are going to be able to replicate the work they've done elsewhere at United.

United should be primarily about getting recruitment right at present and then getting the squad to a point where there are no obvious weaknesses and absolutely no excuse for any manager to not perform. We're not quite there yet - this summer needs a midfield revamp.

If Carrick doesn't work next season, then hey - change him. But if you bring someone else in and they don't work, what then? Can't exactly go back to Carrick can you.

It's not like you're missing out on a generational get if you stick with Carrick this time around.

It's on those who make the decisions to get it right. You can't say they've got it wrong on Carrick yet.

@BPete1970 you look like you’re about to have a massive sneeze 😂

[tom @tommallows]

@dharnishiqbal Like the Martinez hair pull, ridiculous but they are the rules. Interesting point about whether the ref forgot he’d already carded him. Either way, Madrid players reaction at the end was pretty poor

[tom @tommallows]

@nqatpod Well that’s not ideal is it. If that’s the case, for me it’s Nagelsmann or Carrick

[Peter Jackson @JackoRugby]

ITV showed two ads during their coverage of France-Ireland. Neither obstructed my viewing. Had they done so it would have been a small price to pay for ensuring the SixNat maximum exposure instead of disappearing behind a paywall. Too many too quick to criticise the broadcaster.

[tom @tommallows]

@jonmikesav8 Got to be Elliot Anderson if possible or Joao Neves for me, Ayyoub Bouaddi in addition for depth

[Pilib De Brún (Phil Brown) @Malachians]

Arsenal when they get a corner

[tom @tommallows]

@AdamJoseph Stupid comments but its been clipped up for podcast engagement so i can only assume they've joined the 'edgy for cash' crowd. Slightly ironic that all the reposts complaining about it are doing exactly what they want!

[tom @tommallows]

@nqatpod In recent history, are there any new owners who have come in, got every decision correct? Its magnified by the scale of the club but there are always going to be missteps. Look at City, Liverpool, Everton - there are always issues initially

[tom @tommallows]

@WayneSBarton All points to Tuchel which is a concern if he says no - likely due to the power he would demand. After that its Iraola/Glasner/Silva
