Manchester United vs Como LIVE UEFA Champions League

431 comments

Antonio Conte has zero interest in the United job. If United do decide to sack Carrick they could do a lot worse than getting Roy Keane in as manager. Roy wouldn’t be there to make friends with anyone - players, the board, or owners - but no one would cross the white line at Old Trafford who wasn’t prepared to give 110% for the team and club.

Roy Keane at United would be box office! I do kind of think ‘why not’ at this point - however, it would probably end with him headbutting Wilcox behind the scenes

Ineos didn't get any defensive help in the summer window. We are paying the price right now!

D

dale.odonnell15d ago

Spot on. The board and owners cannot get away with this.

T

thetruthpersonified15d ago

Ok. We all make assumptions. Maybe correctly. But we do not know what happened. What if Carrick was asked what he wanted to do and was offered the 3 midfielders or 2 and a striker or one of each. For now let's just ignore the fact we needed better in every area. But we do not know. Far from defending Ineos, the Exec or Glazers - want all out.

The mentality of the whole team is rotten

We saw that with Bruno’s interview, as if the way he was playing wasn’t a big enough hint

Michael Carrick has responded to Bruno Fernandes' comments

Is a lack of effort behind Manchester United's problems?

M

mazambanivs15d ago

Fernandes is right. The coaching department is frustrating the players, and if that's shared amongst the majority of them, Manchester United is dead. That's a plausible view than Martinez blaming management/ owners even for losses to less talented teams

W

willysauti515d ago

Carrick's mentality is of a small club. Bruno and co want to press man for man but michael won't let them because he's not brave. [How can your players run forward if the ball is always with your opponent and your game plan is to just jog around with no intention of winning the ball.]

D

delyuzar15d ago

We might just as well used the academy players bevause this group of player alawsys tried to get the manager shacked…

D

dancoombs15d ago

That’s one of the frustrations that Carrick is so reluctant to play the academy kids

Ratcliffe needs to stop micro managing the football at the club, wilcox needs to be sacked along with Carrick and the coaching team non of the players look fit, they are consistently played out of their natural positions.

My first away trip of the season will be to Lisbon next month. I'm beginning to doubt whether Carrick will be in the dugout for that game.

E

epi2media16d ago

A full refund would be a better gesture, MC. Can't even watch this for free!

D

dale.odonnell16d ago

Maybe Ineos, who left Carrick short in the summer, can sort that after their penny-pinching and cutting of jobs at MUFC. They're also increasing the ticket prices each season. 🐀

Man Utd Player Ratings vs Como - Who was the team's worst player?

D

davecarey2815d ago

You could have picked almost everyone apart from Lammens who I felt sorry for with such a poor defence. Watching the game again, Maguire was dismal for a player of his standing but Mazraoui was also in the frame they both had shockers.

S

seanguitar15d ago

Very true, but United have spent hundreds of millions on players who are simply not good enough to begin with, and then the club is stuck with them.

D

dancoombs15d ago

Maguire needed to be better. I like him but he was disappointing

S

seanguitar15d ago

Mazraoui was awful. He's not up to the standards that we've come to expect from everyone who is fortunate enough to be in the first team squad, and he never will be. Selecting him is denying one of the younger players the chance to get some experience and hopefully join the first team squad.

D

dancoombs15d ago

It seems like he makes a crucial mistake every time he plays

D

dancoombs16d ago

Mazraoui has been awful this season

Como 4-1 Man United... what is your INSTANT reaction to that performance? 😳

K

kyle.dimond15d ago

Conceded another goal in the first couple minutes, back to back CL games now. Clearly far too easy to get at if that’s happening and I don’t think this side have the character to turn those situations around

D

davecarey2815d ago

This isn't the first time United have been slaughtered by a fitter team. It's not helped by the fact we have some aging players in key areas, we need to look to younger eager players not always experienced

A

aryansurajc15d ago

This is the worst of them so far

I am struggling to think of a team that is worse than Man U in any Division at the moment. Within the first minute Bruno was asking the Ref for a foul...he was already on the floor! The fitness and tactical levels are the worst I have ever seen from any team!

mazambanivs15d ago

Carrick is not Premier League coaching material. Without individual effort from the players, Manchester United is relegation material. We should not overlook the fact that it is Sesko individual effort that won or drew last season games which gave the Carrick permanent coaching position, and Champions League participation. Now, he is injured😭😭😭

G

granitegraham16d ago

Fabregras took over and coached them into a top European side. Carrick is coaching United to embarrassing low levels , possible second tier if they don't fire him now.

The players really need to look themselves in the mirror now. If they don't respond strongly its going to be hard to make Top 8 mahn

V

vatsal16d ago

Top eight? Mate we're going out in the league stages at this rate. We won't be top 24.

V

vatsal16d ago

Just delaying the inevitable. Board are a shambles but you can't tell me this is a well-coached team, regardless of injuries. No bravery, and that comes from the manager.

G

gomatz7716d ago

Facts! Players definitely haven't turned up again. Coach has to take some part of the blame too

Carrick has once again gone with Fernandes & Tielemans up front This has to stop. It makes no sense for our two most creative players to play on the last line where they have no runners ahead of them.

N

noble146716d ago

This is so frustrating. It's about time players are paid only on their performance. It will be the same with next manager. There is no hunger anymore. Carrick will be going very soon. But it won't make any difference. Because as long as they know they are getting paid.

G

mohan1831016d ago

MC when he first joined , used to attend academy matches so on & so forth. Not giving chance to youngsters is defenceless. See yesterday lineup of Liverpool for ex , they gave youngsters a chance atleast. MC is hiding behind experience who are just blocking their path , will be out of contract soon or already we know they can't improve further.
