Listening to Enrique in the lastest PSG press conference, he is going nowhere soon, already planning for next season with PSG. Think Chelsea will go for Iraola so we are sticking with Carrick or going for Naglesmann, I don't see too many options out there.

If the club stay with Carrick, they are incompetent. That simple.
This, no or not too many options other than Carrick, is total nonsense.

Appointing Carrick would be short sighted. I think he was an excellent choice for interim coach after Amorim because he is very light on tactical instructions when in possession. With the players clearly unhappy with the way Amorim overloaded them with instructions, Carrick gave them the freedom to play without the fear of not doing what the manager wanted.
This has worked to an extent. The first month was an attack playing without freedom and innovation. The problem is that everything in our attack hinges on Bruno, and, in the long term, we need a manager who is capable of striking a balance between allowing players a bit of freedom and coming up with different strategies to create chances that don't come through Bruno.
For me, Carrick was exactly what we needed to get Champions League this season. However, he hasn't shown enough to prove that he's the right person to get us back challenging for titles. The most damning thing is that the longer he has been in charge, the worse the performances have become. There's nothing to suggest that the early form was more than a post Amorim bounce.

Chelsea were going for Filipe Luis, I heard, and Iraola is off to Spain as his family is homesick.
23 Apr 2026 20:39:57
I thought they had a slight interest in Silva also. Don't rule out Lampard.
23 Apr 2026 21:57:05
Fabregas has also been mentioned.
23 Apr 2026 22:39:44
Alright Red Man, I'll bite. Name me ten serious options who we could bring in who are definitively better than Carrick and who are available this summer and willing to join?
23 Apr 2026 23:31:50
Iraola
Naglesmann
Simeone
Emery
Pochettino
Allegri
Conte
Enrique
Id take all of those over Carrick.

Why ten?
We only need one manager.
12 days above has a list of better options; there are many more.
Carrick has no CV, and only the emotionally trapped United fans, who cannot see the danger here, are pushing the Carrick bandwagon. He is one of our own. Nonsense.
If SJR appoints Carrick, then it is his Moyes moment.
The club goes backwards for 12 months, pending the idiots at the top realising there is no real vision, just Southgate football.
Let's be honest. I am now worried that if they appoint Carrick, I may not live long enough to see us win the league or Champions League again. It would be that stupid by Ratcliffe.

I don't know what will happen with the manager job. I think, on the surface, for some fans, it will feel like a Solskjaer decision, but I do think circumstances and personnel within the team are very different now. No more Lindgards, Pogba's, Martial's, or Rashford's. We have a lot better characters around now, and more experienced coaching staff around also, and also a more structured, more football experienced hierarchy.
But, I do think the transfer window is more important than the manager decision this summer. I'd take a good transfer window with Carrick manager over a poor transfer window, but a more experienced coach.

We need a leader as a manager. Carrick isn't it.
I was 13 years younger when the idiots appointed Moyes. If it happens again with Carrick, they get the club they deserve. Pathetic lack of decision making.
24 Apr 2026 13:08:18
I agree with Red Man on this one.
There are plenty of managers out there that can do a very good job.
24 Apr 2026 18:30:10
Comparing Carrick with Ole is a bit silly.
Amorim cleared out a lot of the bad 'uns.
Totally different circumstances.
