He hates Carrick, of course he’d say that
Like Roy keane?
Please watch the whole video before we post bits and make these short snippets taken out of context seem worse.
They literally asked him a question if he’d give Carrick the job after just 2 games and 2 wins. Wtf is he supposed to say? Yes? Btw he does credit Carrick and says he’s doing a great job and seizing the opportunity.
I’m sick of this prick
As did Ipswich Town, Roy.
Any chance you think they’ll talk about them on this week’s Stick to Football??
So get rid of the only manager that has found a way to win? These clubs love shooting themselves in the foot.
Just shut the fuck up Keane.
Gosh, are we not all a bit tired of people saying ‘this is Man United we’re talking about?’. United have been shit for years, they’re no longer some unchallengeable titan and acting as if you should be going for world class players in the transfer market and going for the best managers in the world when you’ve been distinctly middle table for years will only cause more suffering in the long run.
Is this to say that Carrick is the answer and that he deserves the job? No. It’s been 2, admittedly very impressive, games. But there’s no reason to rule him out just on the basis that he’s not got the CV you’d like. If he’s already doing the job then who cares.
Mf let them have stability for ONE season
Keane has literally just said on Sky: ‘If Carrick wins every game until the end of the season, I wouldn’t give him the job’. But apparently when Solskjær was manager he needs three years. He has a personal grudge against him and needs to let it go.
If we keep playing like this for the next five or so games, win lose or draw, keep him.
Roy Kean our captain was a great footballer.
Roy Keane the pundit is a man I would rather never hear or see again as all his takes are wank.
Roy Keane is full of s”it when it comes to managing. We had him at Ipswich and it was ***king awful, 4 central defenders across the back 4, 5 central midfielders banging it long to a lone midget striker, spunked a load of money up the wall on his ex-man utd/sunderland mates. Made it feel like we were doing a favour having such a football genius coaching lowly Ipswich and treated the local media like sh*t.
He was an absolute disaster as Ipswich manager and it caused a long-term effect because after that the owner Marcus Evans didn’t give any other manager after that any kind of money to spend because Keane spunked 20 million in 2008 on absolute crap and got his fingers burnt.
They’re in fourth and they’ll give Carrick the credit. Meanwhile they wouldn’t be close to fourth if Amorim had done half as bad as these old United guys claim.
Please, Carrick has no pressure on him and has a week to prepare for games so the players should be raring to go. Also 2 big teams so everyone is motivated anyway like it was with Amorim, downing tools against the rest.
Same as with Ole at the wheel, no pressure on him until the moment he signed his contract and things changed.
The board will see who’s available end of season and if Carrick goes on a crazy run getting top 4, he’s got a good chance of becoming permanent. One thing’s for sure, I have no faith in the board to make the correct decision so whatever happens, happens.
If he has said that that’s the end of him for me
Carrick is doing a good job but this feels like Ole all over again.
He will do well enough for the rest of the season that they will give him the job, but he clearly isn’t the right man going forward.
Respectfully, what is wrong with this bloke. His team just won a derbie and he didn’t look happy. I mean look at rio, evra, even bastien.
Let’s see what they look like against teams that are happier to defend and play them on the break.
Judge them when they play bottom half of the table teams. It doesn’t take much to get the players hyped for the last two games. Fair play today, but 3 shots on target won’t get 3 goals every time.
Roy has a point. Teams will ultimately figure Carrick out. History suggests inexperience can’t handle it when that happens. He is not being pessimistic, just realistic
Can we not just relax for like, 5 minutes? Please!
He isn’t wrong it’s 2 bastard games.
United have done this before perform against Arsenal Liverpool etc then draw to Burnley
He’s trying so hard not eat his words even though Carrick is forcing it down his throat.
Too early to judge either way imo
This headline is so misleading. It was a throwaway comment after Micah Richards asked him a question and his response was not this exactly.
Yeah he didn’t actually say this until Micah Richards asked him if Carrick was the man for the job.
Yeah, let’s not get ahead of ourselves and repeat the mistakes of the past. Just enjoy 2 great, rather unexpected results.
I’ve mentioned this elsewhere but if Carrick does well and United continue to play with style, who would want to take over. It’s a poisoned chalice. A few bad games and it’ll be, “should’ve kept Carrick”
I saw Carrick as a future United boss two seasons back at Boro. He just seemed to have all of the hallmarks of a top class boss.
Why? If he gets a solid 4th, give him the job.
Hope United won’t appoint him as England could use someone like him
United don’t want big personalities though. They want a head coach.
I’m sure they will find that “bigger and better” manager and as someone who’s only skin in this is seeing more English managers in the top flight, I want Carrick to guide the ship to a champions league finish and then go and get himself a premier league job elsewhere without the massive demands of the job he has now.
Ray Keane has a grudge with Carrick
Two things stood out to me here.
Firstly, Carrick is clearly a talented coach. He’s made some simple yet effective changes to the system and it has created instant results. Those same performances are a damning inditement against Ruben Amorim. The players always need to take culpability in these situations, but there were simply fundamentals he refused to alter. If nothing else, this has vindicated the disdain Man Utd fans had for him.
As a Newcastle fan, I’m once again asking how we compete with a team like Man Utd. They had a crap season and then went out and signed a whole new front three at a cost of like £200m. They pay sometimes twice what we can afford.
As it stands, this is the team that’s on track to win the PL this year… what a sad indictment on football.
United were absolutely solid. We conceded from a scrappy, confused own goal and then a completely scrappy set piece corner.
I’d be ashamed as an Arsenal fan, genuinely. Not once did I feel any level or threat when they were on the attack. They’re uninteresting and more robotic than anything Pep has ever conjured.
Elated with this win!
