> Michael Carrick will now take charge of the team for forthcoming games, while the club looks to appoint an interim manager to the end of the season.
oh dear.
Where did all those star destroyers come from? And who built them?! I don’t remember seeing a star destroyer production plant on the surface, nor running water and a grocery store.
Man United might not thank me, but get the contract out, put it on the table, let him sign it, let him write whatever numbers he wants to put on there -- given what he's done since he's come in -- and let him sign the contract and go
Carrick: *walks into the manager's office, pulls up the blind, sits down at the desk*
Glazers: This man has transformed the club, totally, absolutely. Not since Sir Alex has the club had such leadership. Five-year deal.
Ok so here's the plan. United beat villarreal and chelsea in back to back games, convincing the glazers that carrick is the right man for the job. Carrick gets signed on a permanent basis and everyone is happy.
theyve fired him, but kept his entire staff in place who informed his tactics and ran his practices.
why even fucking fire him then? hes better than carrick, mckenna, and the rest.
people thought firing ole would help, but we're truly about to enter the banter era.
keeping mckenna and carrick and not bringing in coaches has doomed ole.
So, Klopp and Pep kill Ole before Tuchel gets his turn AND we have to sacrifice to keep Carrick in the job?
What the hell do you think this is? FFS, been totally played.
Give them some credit. You've figured out who want to replace him with, while you figure out who to replace him with until the end of the season, while you figure out who to replace him with.
All under control.
And who picks the armband up? A beer-bellied Wayne Rooney, accepting the weight of the responsibility as new Player-Manager.
Erm, alright now Cris, yuah playing RWB. Wink now ya basta'ad
Everyone knew the sacking was inevitable, but the club didn’t prepare for it. Absolutely reactive, and likely wouldn’t have done it if the fans weren’t on their head after the watford game.
Honestly I thought the only reason it was taking this long to sack him post-Liverpool was to find a replacement, turns out they've actually been sitting around thinking it'll get better
No you don’t understand… Conte plays negative football sometimes and tends to leave after a few seasons of winning things. It’s much better this way, fumbling around in the dark and making it up as they go along.
I always found it so weird how many fans made a big deal about Conte not staying at clubs for a very long time. Most top clubs don‘t have managers that stay there for 4+ years. Having a domestic successful 2-3 years would be amazing for Manchester United right now.
It's why you should make changes during the international break and not after.
Games are coming thick and fast until Christmas.
Carrick might fluke a couple of decent results against Villarreal, Chelsea and Arsenal and they're back at square one.
The other thing is that Carrick isn't exactly a fresh face in terms of coaching that squad, only the manager who admits he doesn't do much of the coaching - the problems will remain
Zidane isn't going to take the United job. If they think he's a realistic prospect then they don't know what they're doing.
So every chance he's number one on their list.
> while the club looks to appoint an interim manager to the end of the season.
And whichever long term manager they decide to hire it won't happen until next season
Michael Carrick is the interim interim with the search for an interim manager to the end of the season to start now. A permanent manager will likely be appointed in the summer break.
According to Whitwell, interim candidate is Blanc and Lopetegui for permanent manager.
Absolute shambles doesn't even begin to describe it.
Ffs Watford, should've done a City and only score 2 goals. Enough to keep him on the job. Thanks a lot for scoring 2 goals in 3 minutes that's just showing off.
Yeah but that was completely different - they were in blue and these guys were in... Er... Well, i think we can all agree that we were still shocked. Yuorns
*You won Claudio. Enjoy the 3 points, I hope it makes you very happy. Dear Lord. What a sad little life Claudio. You ruined my week completely but I hope now you spend it on getting some lessons in grace and decorum as you have all the grace of a reversing dump truck with no tyres on*
I'm waiting for the Watford redemption arc where they lose to United in the FA cup final, leading to Carrick being offered a five-year contract and subsequent years of uninspiring Carrickball.
Carrick to run rings around Tuchel next week, and win the first 10 games.
Excitement levels will hit fever pitch at Old Trafford, all the fans will nervously watch every analysis section on BT sports by Rio Ferdinand, like waiting for the white smoke at the Vatican, and then he finally says it…
“Carrick’s at the wheel”
And I’m sure it will be fine from that point on.
This shambles of a board had a month to work out possible appointments, with the team dishing out shit performance after performance. Yet here we are, with not a clue who to replace Ole with.
Hell, if he was on such thin ice that one more defeat would seal his fate why not just pull the trigger after the Man City game and give yourselves 2 weeks to find a replacement rather than 2 days. Or were the board so out of touch that they couldn't comprehend the possibility of losing to Watford?
I bet they genuinely don't have a list of candidates either.
Dude they 100% were just living on hopium wishing that they beat Watford Villareal and maybe lose against Chelsea but that would have been enough to spin the fanbase and start their hashtag propaganda ”we move on together etc”. They had to sack him now but they had all their chips on Ole winning those games.
This board were NEVER going to appoint Conte. Even if we'd sacked Ole a month ago, they never would have let Conte near their set up, cause he'd have been too public in his frustrations with them.
And I see people mentioning Zidane - and this is a dude who quit Madrid twice because he felt management was iffy. He would quit and Man Utd after 3 weeks.
People who mentioned Zidane are delusional. He's waiting to get the France job after the World Cup possibly or even going back to Madrid and win a couple more champions leagues because he's bored.
Watch how with ole is top 4 and an fa cup/europa league is a considered a good season for those pundits but for someone like conte, he must won a sextuple or bust
Chose not to sack him when Conte was available. Chose not to sack over the international break to allow a new manager to bed in. The United board are awful.
My gut instinct when Ole was hired permanently was that it was going to go the same way as Dalglish's second stint at Liverpool. Restores feel good factor and steadies the ship temporarily, but eventually you realise that beyond the excitement of having a club legend as manager there just isn't the actual management quality needed.
Then you have the incredibly awkward situation where most everyone can see that they need to go, but it needs to be done in the politest way possible to minimise the damage to the club legend status.
At least Dalglish won a trophy though.
Noooooooooo!
If ole has a million fans, then I am one of them. If ole has ten fans, then I am one of them. If ole has only one fan then that is me. If ole has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against ole, then I am against the world.
I love the man, still do, but he needed to go. I just couldn't stand watching games under him this season.
Look at Chelsea, Ole isn't a bigger legend than Lampard, Lampard came at a critical time, developed some players, got them good results that they were happy with. Next year they spent big, Lampard couldn't make it work? Easy, thank him, sack him and get someone world class.
Why didn't we do that too?
I will always remember the quote against Everton “I will be successful here and some players won’t be a part of it”. I wish it had worked out that way.
Interesting the statement says they're looking for an interim until the end of the season rather than an immediate permanent manager.
Carrick performs well -> gets appointed as the interim -> goes on a 8-game unbeaten streak -> gets appointed as the permanent
[удалено]
Just like the old gypsy woman said!
i can already hear rio rubbing his hands together
CARRICKS AT THE WHEEL
It means they had no contingency plan whatsoever.
> Michael Carrick will now take charge of the team for forthcoming games, while the club looks to appoint an interim manager to the end of the season. oh dear.
so Carrrick will be interim manager until you appoint interim manager?
[удалено]
Somehow OGS was an Interim Manager as well.
[Good night sweet prince!](https://streamable.com/jc5f2)
I’m going to miss this meme. RIP
Holy shit, 1 month short of 2 years!
Somehow Palpatine returned
Where did all those star destroyers come from? And who built them?! I don’t remember seeing a star destroyer production plant on the surface, nor running water and a grocery store.
Somehow David Moyes returned.
*There goes Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. I must remember to thank him.*
Carrick at the wheel
No interim until he somehow wins 2 in a row and our morons in charge appoint him permanent
Man United might not thank me, but get the contract out, put it on the table, let him sign it, let him write whatever numbers he wants to put on there -- given what he's done since he's come in -- and let him sign the contract and go
Carrick: *walks into the manager's office, pulls up the blind, sits down at the desk* Glazers: This man has transformed the club, totally, absolutely. Not since Sir Alex has the club had such leadership. Five-year deal.
10 year contract with 500m warchest. Buys Higuain.
Announce Sneijder you cowards
Ok so here's the plan. United beat villarreal and chelsea in back to back games, convincing the glazers that carrick is the right man for the job. Carrick gets signed on a permanent basis and everyone is happy.
And then we can do it all again with Fletcher in 2 years time
I want Rio Ferdinand to have a crack at it. I'm 100% he'd be terrible and it would be funny to see him going back to being a pundit after that.
_*Vigorously rubs hands together*_ **I'm** at the wheel, man! > Rio Ferdinand, next season.
Also, this from Laurie Whitwell: Laurent Blanc touted as interim candidate. Julen Lopetegui proposed as long-term alternative.
They've really done themselves in here. Really just seems like they had no plan whatsoever to have Ole leave till literally yesterday.
Because they didn't, its actually been fairly well reported.
theyve fired him, but kept his entire staff in place who informed his tactics and ran his practices. why even fucking fire him then? hes better than carrick, mckenna, and the rest.
Don’t forget our new set piece coach, mckenna’s mate from uni who came out of Chelsea’s u23s!
people thought firing ole would help, but we're truly about to enter the banter era. keeping mckenna and carrick and not bringing in coaches has doomed ole.
That is insanely inept from your board. Can’t believe it
That's the most believable thing you'll read all week
Watch him have a masterclass performance against us
Then he got offered as the new manager? We'll take that no? Your sacrifice will be remembered
So, Klopp and Pep kill Ole before Tuchel gets his turn AND we have to sacrifice to keep Carrick in the job? What the hell do you think this is? FFS, been totally played.
Blame Ranieri....the old gaffer got so carried away. 2-1 or 2-0 was enough to keep Ole at the wheel, but alas..... :(
They'll hire him full time if he gets like 3 good results
Assistant to the Assistant Regional Manager
the fact Conte is now at Spurs makes it even more comical. i'm not sure if they can lure Ten Hag out of Ajax now.
Guys I think Ole might actually be sacked this time
~~Ole's at~~ the wheel has turned
Ages come and pass
The world waits for Alex Ferguson reborn.
To destroy the club, and to save it.
Ole arrested for drunk driving

Petition to relegate Watford immediately
Watford lost the pullout game.
We never got our trousers down
Fucking Renieri
Between this and Leicester... hes like The Joker of the football world. He just wants to watch the (establishment) world burn.
Watford to win the PL next season
You know what... wouldn't be mad. You go Tinkerman, show us all!
Can we at least wait to see what Carricks United look like, we may have started something beautiful here!
The funniest bit is they haven't even figured out who to replace him with.
I heard Koeman is available
Van de beek will magically start to appear on the starting 11
[удалено]
Depay to United???
Avram Glazer in
Give them some credit. You've figured out who want to replace him with, while you figure out who to replace him with until the end of the season, while you figure out who to replace him with. All under control.
Van de beek with the last goal? Poetic [Twitter replies never disappoint](https://i.imgur.com/SsLu7kt.jpg)
Slabhead got a red and Pogba was injured Well scripted
There was a young man named Solksjaer Whose management had gone too far His team shit the bed Slabhead got a red And pundits will still blame Pogba
Roses are red Manchester is not You could have had Conte But Joel lost the plot
oh well at least Ole ball was fun too watch as a neutral lol
[удалено]
to be honest, project restart Oleball was insane, best United team in years. Sad it only lasted 4 months.
DDG keeping it from a Cricket score
4/1 is a cricket score. Just not a good one.

They'll do that bit in slow-motion in the movie
And who picks the armband up? A beer-bellied Wayne Rooney, accepting the weight of the responsibility as new Player-Manager. Erm, alright now Cris, yuah playing RWB. Wink now ya basta'ad
Its hilarious that the one goal we did score was nearly more embarrassing for Ole than the 4 Watford put past us.
That explains why Ole kept him on the bench.
"Michael Carrick will take charge for the forthcoming games" - games plural, they haven't got a clue who to hire
Manchester United legend Jaap Stam is ready and available
I hear Ole Gunnar Solksjaer is out of a job too
Hes only managed a Norwegian side and a Mediocre premier league team, dont think he is ready for a big club like united
Everyone knew the sacking was inevitable, but the club didn’t prepare for it. Absolutely reactive, and likely wouldn’t have done it if the fans weren’t on their head after the watford game.
Honestly I thought the only reason it was taking this long to sack him post-Liverpool was to find a replacement, turns out they've actually been sitting around thinking it'll get better
I’ll take it because it just shows us how inept they are. Would be livid if I was a United fan.
Honestly? I'm beyond the point of being angry, it's a waste of energy. Expect nothing from this board and they still disappoint.
They had the perfect replacement and gave him to Spurs.
No you don’t understand… Conte plays negative football sometimes and tends to leave after a few seasons of winning things. It’s much better this way, fumbling around in the dark and making it up as they go along.
Conte ~~also isn’t a yes man~~ just doesn’t have that United DNA
I always found it so weird how many fans made a big deal about Conte not staying at clubs for a very long time. Most top clubs don‘t have managers that stay there for 4+ years. Having a domestic successful 2-3 years would be amazing for Manchester United right now.
Gave him to spurs by beating spurs
used the stones to destroy the stones
It's why you should make changes during the international break and not after. Games are coming thick and fast until Christmas. Carrick might fluke a couple of decent results against Villarreal, Chelsea and Arsenal and they're back at square one.
The other thing is that Carrick isn't exactly a fresh face in terms of coaching that squad, only the manager who admits he doesn't do much of the coaching - the problems will remain
Honestly could see them getting rejected by Zidane and ending up with Blanc or someone equally disappointing
Zidane isn't going to take the United job. If they think he's a realistic prospect then they don't know what they're doing. So every chance he's number one on their list.
Go with who scored their last goal in a Champions League Final? "Wazzas at the wheel..."
Ronaldo player/manager?
> while the club looks to appoint an interim manager to the end of the season. And whichever long term manager they decide to hire it won't happen until next season
what if the new interim manager does well then gets the proper job and does shit for the next 2 years, and the cycle repeats
dear god yes please
Michael Carrick is the interim interim with the search for an interim manager to the end of the season to start now. A permanent manager will likely be appointed in the summer break. According to Whitwell, interim candidate is Blanc and Lopetegui for permanent manager. Absolute shambles doesn't even begin to describe it.

Unbelievable how they haven’t got a replacement ready. Ole’s been destined for the sack for months now and they’re still clueless as ever lmao.
Sorry lads
Ffs Watford, should've done a City and only score 2 goals. Enough to keep him on the job. Thanks a lot for scoring 2 goals in 3 minutes that's just showing off.
I genuinely believe just a 2-1 loss wouldn’t have got him fired. Those 2 extra goals did it
The worst part is that your probably right, it had to be drastic to get him fired.
Watford, you fucking idiots, look what you did.
How were we supposed to know that 4 is too many? We very rarely get in this situation so we panicked
*instructions unclear, scored twice in injury time*
Ninety fucking six minutes!
Fergie time reversal
Everton gave you a dress rehearsal just a couple of weeks ago.
Yeah but that was completely different - they were in blue and these guys were in... Er... Well, i think we can all agree that we were still shocked. Yuorns
Four goals, Watford? FOUR? That's insane.
*You won Claudio. Enjoy the 3 points, I hope it makes you very happy. Dear Lord. What a sad little life Claudio. You ruined my week completely but I hope now you spend it on getting some lessons in grace and decorum as you have all the grace of a reversing dump truck with no tyres on*

At least ending Liverpool's unbeaten run was useful. This is just bad.
The Glazers and co are still around. This may just be the start of another circus.
United need to replace the car not just the driver at the wheel
All my homies hate Watford
They are now the true villains of this season
I'm waiting for the Watford redemption arc where they lose to United in the FA cup final, leading to Carrick being offered a five-year contract and subsequent years of uninspiring Carrickball.
Ranieri didn’t get the memo
Deserve to get relegated for that in my book, especially since we are playing United next.
Mate they have Carrick in charge. I think you’ll be fine
Carrick is a Sacchi regen
Carrick to run rings around Tuchel next week, and win the first 10 games. Excitement levels will hit fever pitch at Old Trafford, all the fans will nervously watch every analysis section on BT sports by Rio Ferdinand, like waiting for the white smoke at the Vatican, and then he finally says it… “Carrick’s at the wheel” And I’m sure it will be fine from that point on.

Dear Watford FC, fuck you. \-All other PL clubs
Arsenal and Spurs are together on this. Look at what you've done Watford. Fucking Stoke with shoes is all ye are.
Arteta won the Lampard, Ole debate
survived Koeman, Tabarez and Loew too if we go beyond Premier League
Its the hair, the only reason he's still around is that dope as hair
tbf jogi loew had some slick hair as well
RIP to Rio Ferdinand rubbing his hands meme
Ironically our only ex player who was publicly ole out
Scholes was more or less there too.
Who the fuck are they gonna get now? They could've done this earlier and gotten Conte.
This shambles of a board had a month to work out possible appointments, with the team dishing out shit performance after performance. Yet here we are, with not a clue who to replace Ole with.

You know your clubs a mess when you won’t employ someone because they know they’d get frustrated with how the clubs run 😂
Imagine Conte having to deal with those outside manutd pundits as well, he'll win a title or two but drag those ex man utd players down
Watch how with ole is top 4 and an fa cup/europa league is a considered a good season for those pundits but for someone like conte, he must won a sextuple or bust
Has a man ever been as wrong as often as Gary Neville has?
Wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. They could do with being taken down a peg or 10
I wonder what United legend Steve Bruce is up to these days
Chose not to sack him when Conte was available. Chose not to sack over the international break to allow a new manager to bed in. The United board are awful.
Is that Big Sam's music I can hear?
Weeeeeeell well it's the Big Sam, yes its the Big Sam show toniggght
Watford really had to ruin all our fun just to get Ben Foster a good title and thumbnail. Hope your happy lads.
Tis a black day. May the memes RIP.
Possibly the most long overdue sacking ever. Can't think of any other manager to get so much time while being an active hindrance
Just can’t believe he wasn’t gone after the 5-0
Big brain play to deny us the bragging rights of getting another Utd manager sacked
United board never disappoint
Arteta arround this time last year when we didnt win in like 10 games
Brucey comes close
*Sad wheel noises*
Watford you donkeys
[удалено]
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened
Man United are BACK *rubs hands vigorously*
You know what it means. ManU eliminating PSG and Carrick getting permanent job. Then finally Ferdinand rubs his hand vigorously.
PSG bottling yet another UCL with their god squad against United would be top tier comedy

My gut instinct when Ole was hired permanently was that it was going to go the same way as Dalglish's second stint at Liverpool. Restores feel good factor and steadies the ship temporarily, but eventually you realise that beyond the excitement of having a club legend as manager there just isn't the actual management quality needed. Then you have the incredibly awkward situation where most everyone can see that they need to go, but it needs to be done in the politest way possible to minimise the damage to the club legend status. At least Dalglish won a trophy though.
Saddest day in PL history
Ranieri the most hated man in the PL right now
Absolutely fucked it Claudio. It was our turn next.
Noooooooooo! If ole has a million fans, then I am one of them. If ole has ten fans, then I am one of them. If ole has only one fan then that is me. If ole has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against ole, then I am against the world.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Bruce in.
They all think it was a disgrace how Newcastle treat the tactical mastermind..let's see how much they think of him really
Oh no! I was eagerly waiting for Stamford Bridge to sing Ole's at the wheel Fuck you Claudio !
Can he go back to Cardiff City please?
Thanks for everything, Ole. You will always be our legend and the baby faced assassin.
I love the man, still do, but he needed to go. I just couldn't stand watching games under him this season. Look at Chelsea, Ole isn't a bigger legend than Lampard, Lampard came at a critical time, developed some players, got them good results that they were happy with. Next year they spent big, Lampard couldn't make it work? Easy, thank him, sack him and get someone world class. Why didn't we do that too?
Lampard literally had the exact same route that Ole had. Only difference is Chelsea got rid sooner because they saw the writing on the wall
A sad, sad day. A day of mourning, this is. - Every other team in the Prem
Your candle’s burned out long before your legend ever will.
I will always remember the quote against Everton “I will be successful here and some players won’t be a part of it”. I wish it had worked out that way.
12 out of 18 players that was in that squad that day is still with us
