Big game today, can we make it 4 in a row. What a feeling that would be.
I was just saying last night to a friend how excited I am to sit down and watch us the last few weeks.
Score predictions? I think we come out fast and score early, lll go 4-1.
07 Feb 2026 12:05:26
I would gladly take a 1-0 win, through an own goal off the backside of one of their defenders, if necessary.
Can see a 4-2 win from an open exciting game (I hope) .

Absolute nonsense from Keane and Neville again. Let’s take things on face value. If carrick carries on this way give him the job. All Keane/neville care about is being loved by fans from other clubs and their paycheck from sky. Great week from carrick/staff/players let’s hope it continues.

From give it to Ole to give it to Michael. If Carrick wins the league this season fine, he deserves the job. He won’t so United need to do what they should have done after Ole’s temp period, choose wisely with the head not the heart.

Red Man, I think there has to be a middle ground, where you make a decision that suits both the head AND the heart. Football is both a business and a passion, one cannot survive without the other.
We have to accept that the Manchester United job is totally and utterly unique to any other job in football. There is no "ideal" training, stepping stone clubs, or pathway to prepare a manager for what they face when they become Manchester United manager.
Who the right man almost certainly cannot be measured on any standard metrics, such as titles won, clubs managed, success, style of play etc.
We have to accept that the right man for Manchester United probably wouldn't be the right man for Chelsea, or City, or Arsenal or Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.
We have a unique blend of things we need from a manager, they need to play an entertaining style of football, a style of football that isn't common in the modern game, a style of football that takes risks, to borrow a motto Manchester United football should be "who dares wins". They need to connect with the fans and unite the fanbase, they need to have faith in youth and develop our own players, yet blend that with bringing in the best players, ideally from within the EPL, or abroad.
It might take a former United player to be the one to get us back on track, not because they are the best manager available, but because they are the best suited to us. We are in a rebuild phase and the fans lack patience, but they will be more patient with a former hero over fancy named outsider with a shiny CV.
Many of us fans think we crave one thing, but don't understand what it is we really want. We think we want a tactical genius who'll wring every last ounce out of our squad and find a way to win every game. But the truth is we don't want a pragmatist who'll happily send Old Trafford to sleep if it means they eek out a 1-0 win, and we won't have the patience to deal win someone who'll play football like that.
Manchester United's style of play isn't nuanced, layered or overly intelligent. It's quick, daring, often simple, but very effective football. You go out there and make sure you are the hardest working team, you risk losing the game to win and in doing so you put on a show.
We don't support our club to count trophies, we support our club for the passion, for the enjoyment, for the emotional rollercoaster that hopefully ends up with unbridled joy.
I am 100% certain that both EtH and Amorim are better managers than Carrick, at the very least their CV's would back that up.
Yet neither of them have been able to get me as excited to watch my club as Carrick has in these last three games. Neither truly "got" us as a club, they set up to win, to play percentage football the best way they knew how, limit risks, maximise the chances of gaining a result. Yet even the impressive wins that they managed lacked a real gloss. We were happy with a good result, but we didn't spend every day the following week talking about excitedly.
Carrick has managed to out play Pep (with a far inferior group of players), he embarrassed Arteta at the Emirates, bloodying the nose of the champions elect, then in the game against Fulham we sae a team that over came set backs, found some fight, showed some quality, and entertained us, and gave us the high risk, high reward football that we all actually crave.
Maybe Carrick is the man to get us back to where we want to be, maybe he isn't. But I'd gladly take 2-3 years of football like we have seen over the past few weeks, just to be entertained and to truly enjoy watching my team again.

Excellent post Shappy, one thing I would add to the requirements of a Manchester United Manager is a very, very strong personality and character.
I believe that given the pressure on a Manager/Head Coach that is more important than thing's such as tactical nous. A dominating personality can very often achieve more than technical knowledge, look at Sir Matt and SAF and remember that ultimately the job is about ruling, controlling and inspiring young men who are mollycoddled, spoilt, overly indulged and wealthy beyond their dreams.
There are, of course, many aspects needed to be successful as a leader but without the ability to dominate and influence I think it becomes impossible to achieve at the highest level.
07 Feb 2026 17:47:44
Stop talking sense Shappy, others might join in. One thing I will say about Carrick, he's es underrated.
17 Jan 2026 21:21:40
Martinez not bad for a midget who would get picked up and carried by haaland…. tbf I think it was more a case of Martinez carrying haaland in his back pocket 🤣🤣.
17 Jan 2026 14:54:08
Well I certainly didn’t see that coming. A well deserved win and a brilliant performance. Staggering.
👏👏👏.
17 Jan 2026 15:38:03
Fantastic win and to be fair to Carrick who I think is a stupid appointment he had the B***S to drop Sesko, Cunha, Yoro who all just not good enough at this time.
McGuire is by far our best CB that just shows how bad we are.
But a great win, let’s hope it can continue.
17 Jan 2026 17:48:39
I was very surprised fizz. I hoped we would give them a game but we were all over them, they looked rattled throughout. I can't think of one of our players that didn't have a good game.
17 Jan 2026 18:16:25
Agree AJH. Martinez is still trying to get Haaland out of his pocket 😂.
17 Jan 2026 18:51:08
Maze is back to troll even after beating our rivals 2-0 what an absolute numpty. Cunha was brilliant when he came on, got 1 assist, should have had 2.
17 Jan 2026 18:53:53
I think he's my favourite player, if he could stay fit I think he would be Captain.
17 Jan 2026 19:01:04
Martinez looks like he's growing back towards fitness and sharpness in fairness after his long pay off.
17 Jan 2026 23:23:06
In fairness we have beaten City 10 times in Peps reign so it’s not such a shock.
Having said that it was a cracking result. Loved it. Like watching United should be like!
Funny when you play Bruno in his preferred role what happens. Get rid of him. The blokes a liability😂.
17 Jan 2026 14:49:18
Brilliant performance, could have scored so many more.
17 Jan 2026 14:41:33
Nothing beats starting the weekend with an early KO against the cheating blue noses and then sending them packing. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend now🤣🙏.
17 Jan 2026 14:40:03
Wow! Didn’t see that coming. Very impressive performance and result. Should have been more too. Really enjoyed that and for once wasn’t overly worried when city had the ball, they were very poor.
As impressive as that result is, I’ll be more impressed if they can show the same fight when it’s against one of the so called smaller teams. City make it easier then you’d imagine by playing so high. Interesting to see what United do against a team that sits deep and counters, that where they’ve found issues in the past.
But that’s for another time. Enjoy some positivity for a while. And on to Arsenal, which will be a lot tougher.
17 Jan 2026 14:28:16
Wow, what a performance, how wrong l was when l saw the team, where was that for the lst 20+ games. Well done M. CARRICK and all the players.
17 Jan 2026 11:45:24
Jesus Maguire back, sesko dropoed after scoring in lst 2 games. Hope lm wrong but that's a poor team, sit on our 18 yard box and hope for a break away, already worried.
17 Jan 2026 12:10:11
Cas and Mainoo in midfield. Neither is renowned for their defensive abilities. Against Citeh. Nervous.
17 Jan 2026 12:12:44
Sesko has being playing really well it's a strange one for men Cunha I understand but dorgu on the left is strange.
17 Jan 2026 14:26:07
Sesko not for me, even though he scored looks really poor striker imo good Cunha dropped too because needs to get much better than he been.
17 Jan 2026 14:30:31
Well this hasn't aged well.
17 Jan 2026 15:05:43
I'm glad it has ajh who are we question Carrick.
17 Jan 2026 23:24:47
I am a known fringe adjuster hater. But credit to him today. Did a great job. Cannot fault him.
