Martinez is a disgrace.
1. Didn’t put a glove on Rogers for the first goal.
2. Then, later in the half, tried to take Rogers down and failed.
3. Further lack of discipline for the penalty, and like the Solanke goal a few weeks ago, wasn’t even looking at the ball.
Pathetic. #MUFC

Yes, because there was clear interference from right-wing mayors who shut down public transport which made it harder for voters from poorer areas to get to the polls.

Tories now routinely in second place. Labour comfortably ahead. Reform dropping. The trend is clear. @DPJHodges

Interesting to see the Overlap running with Mbeumo and Cunha digs, two of the only bright spots at United, almost as though there’s a co-ordinated plan to engineer ongoing toxicity on that platform 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 very subtly disguised

Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Volume I, Chapter IV (“Munich”):
“The problem of how the future of the German nation can be secured is the problem of how Marxism can be exterminated.”
Let’s be clear: Elon Musk absolutely knows the history. He knows Hitler’s stated goal was to destroy Marxism. Pointing to “Socialist” in the party’s name to call Hitler far-left isn’t a mistake. It’s a calculated lie designed to gaslight gullible people who believe every word he says.

What can anyone do about these people. Seriously. How do you confront basic historical ignorance of this magnitude.

Showed restraint and class, understands and acknowledges the situation, and faces up to it without being prompted. If you don’t respect this as a United supporter, I don’t know what to tell you…
Again, results are all that matters though

Extraordinary opening address from Michael Carrick at his press conference, he looks like a broken man. What a difference it would make if others at Manchester United care the way that he clearly does.
Those who hired him are cowards, have hung him out to dry & stay in hiding.

This is how the movie will play out if Manchester United hire Julian Nagelsmann:
-He will introduce a clear tactical identity.
-He will improve our build-up play.
-The team will become more tactically flexible.
-Our pressing and intensity will improve.
-The players will understand their roles better.
-Young players will develop under him.
-He will restore confidence in the squad.
-The fans will get excited about the project again.
-We will start winning games consistently.
-We will compete for domestic trophies.
-We will aim to qualify for the UCL.
During the transfer window:
-He will demand players who fit his tactical system.
-He will want to reshape certain areas of the squad.
-Some existing players will struggle to adapt to his demands.
-He will push for signings to execute his ideas.
-He will experiment with different formations and player combinations.
When the honeymoon period ends:
-Opponents will begin exploiting weaknesses in his tactical approach.
-His constant tactical adjustments will create inconsistency.
-Players will struggle with the complexity of his instructions.
-Questions will emerge about his team selection and rotation.
-Results will decline, his communication with the dressing room will come under scrutiny.
-Disagreements over recruitment and the club’s direction will emerge.
-The pressure from the media and fans will intensify.
-He will lose the dressing room and the board will lose faith in his project, his position will become untenable.
-The board will eventually sack him.
And we will start all over again.
This is why Julian Nagelsman is not the ideal man for Manchester United if we want long-term success.
The fans are right. This is how the movie will play out if we hire Antonio Conte:
-He will start winning games consecutively from his first day.
-We will go on a winning run.
-The team will have an identity again.
-Our intensity will improve.
-The players will show fight and bravery in our games.
-They will run like mad dogs.
-The players will regain confidence.
-The fans will regain confidence.
-We will win the FA Cup/Carabao Cup.
-We will qualify for the UCL.
During the transfer window:
-He will sell some players.
-He will put some players in the bomb squad.
-He will push for new signings.
When next season starts:
-Things will stop going his way because teams have figured out how he plays.
-He will start having issues with the referees.
-The aggression will be transferred to the Premier League FA (he will get punished of course).
-He will start having issues with his players.
-And then issues with the Manchester United board.
-He will create a toxic environment at the club.
-He will get sacked in December.
And we will start all over again.
This is why Antonio Conte is not the ideal man for Manchester United if we want long-term success.

You people are hilarious.
1. Carrick wins CL football
2. Everyone knows we need huge reinforcements
3. INEOS leave him short particularly in LB
4. Everyone acknowledges this
5. Injuries
6. Results reflect that
7. Everyone forgets point 5
8. CARRICK OUT!
9. INEOS get away with it

It doesn’t matter who is linked with becoming Manchester United manager, because whatever the name (and most of those in circulation have previously already been ruled out), they are set up to fail.
The parasitic Glazer ownership has bled and broken the club, putting a financial noose around it.
In 2024, Sir Jim Ratcliffe talked a big game about a “three-year plan” to rival and outdo Manchester City and Liverpool. But the decision-making under INEOS’ charge of football operations has not just been woeful, but costly too. There is zero accountability for expensive mistake after expensive mistake.
There is still no clear direction on club identity, including style of play, which leads to profiling the right signings and manager. That was a major promise made by Ratcliffe, which hasn’t been kept.
To borrow his own words: “There have been a whole series of coaches, some of which were very good. And none of them were successful, or survived for very long.
The only conclusion you can draw is that the environment in which they were working didn’t work.”
It still doesn’t. It never will as long as the people who own and run the club betray Manchester United and what is required to be successful in the modern era.
You can harp on about structure, vision, and sell fanciful projects, but you will never have the right operation with the wrong people.

If Manchester United get rid of Michael Carrick they get rid of the individual who cares most about the Club. Carrick cares for United far more than the Glazers do (obviously), more than Ratcliffe, Wilcox & Berrarda do, more than Bruno Fernandes & the underachieving players #MUFC
Marc Schmid retweeted
Carrick came in, got the players to buy in, did a great job.
Players got convinced to stick around that may have been looking to leave as they got assurances that the club would back the manager and invest in the summer.
Window ends with net 1 extra midfielder and Rashford who doesnt want to be there.
Big personalities and leaders feel like theyve been misled, manager feels like he's been let down, and the energy around the club falls off.
Its not rocket science. Carrick may not be the solution, but he's not the problem.
Rotten.

“Whatever system you play… If you don’t run, don’t run forward or don’t run back you’re not going to win”
And so the PR machine begins…
🚨 💣 BREAKING:
Eddie Howe is the FAVOURITE for the United job. He is admired within Old Trafford, and Howe would be interested in the role as he wants to return to the Premier League as SOON as possible.
