A new Director of Football will likely want a new head coach to work with. So if Utd are planning to replace Wilcox in the coming months then there's no point replacing Carrick with a permanent manager. That means sticking with Carrick for a bit, or going for a short term appointment like Conte.

My son's first match at Old Trafford was Carrick's last. The loss and Bruno's absence didn't dent his excitement but he did get a bit upset when Carrick was waving goodbye. He soon got over and is all set to go again soon. Hope Carrick feels the same way - he's a class act.

The Glazers won't sell if we get relegated because they'd lose too much money. They'd gamble we'd bounce straight back up at which point I reckon they'd sell.

It would not surprise me if Carrick has agreed to be the interim manager until the club find a new permanent coach. He might be there for Chelsea away next week but he expects the new manager to be installed before Roma at home.

Best in class you're having a laugh. Jason wilcox is a wanker. Stick your new stadium up your arse. Sell Utd and fuck off home. It's Carrick you know!!!

What's the news then? I'm assuming it's all bad.

I was picking my grandson up from school. I met a woman I've not seen in years. She asked me what I was doing. I said I'm picking my grandson up. Oh really, what year is he in? I said 2026

The Utd comms team are previewing Carrick's Bournemouth press conference. It's a coded way of saying Carrick will be in charge this weekend without making a statement of support.

Statistically there must be at least one person out there who called for Carrick to be sacked yesterday, but today got sacked from their own job. Not sure why I take pleasure in this. I'm a terrible human.

Chat GPT until the end of the season.

The first and most obvious change Utd need to make is binning off that ivory kit. It's clearly cursed and fucks with the players heads and maybe their souls too. The second change is slimming down those massive white strips on the home kit. Then in the background I'd be entering talks with Umbro.

That Cerys on the TOTD podcast put it perfectly, when are the club going to stop searching for someone else to fix their problems and actually start fixing the problems for themselves?

All very sad. I suspect the club will put another pound in the fruit machine and hope that the next spin will hit the jackpot.

Go on Zirkzee!!! The come back is on!!!

The dressing room is down those steps by the side of the pitch. Just pointing this out just in case anybody had lost it.

Yeah, the game's only 13 minutes old but Como are much much better than us. No shame in losing to this team.

We managed to go 3 minutes before conceding a goal which is a marked improvement upon last week. #FocusOnThePositives

I'm a big fan of European grounds with changing rooms under the pitch. You rarely see them these days.

I reckon these Naagelsmann rumours are bollocks. The new regime will want someone who is premier league proven.

I wonder if they're wearing their big coats in Como?

I don't know how to pronounce Le Creuset because I am working class. If you know how to pronounce Le Creuset then you are middle class. And if you own any of their products then you are nouveau riche.

Sorry everyone I've got very low energy today and I suspect this will rub off on the squad even though they are in another country. It's my fault if we lose, please don't blame Michael Carrick.

What the fuck is this Prime Vision thing? And why don't I hate it?

Sesko's shins are the new De Ligt's back.

Sesko's shins would be a good fantasy football team name.

Andrey Santos looks petrified but he's doing well dead batting these questions so far.

Crikey. Sesko is still having more diagnostics, and still no prognosis.

Martinez, Heaven, Shaw, Mainoo and Rashford all out.

I'm in the mood to eat every single piece of food in the house tonight.

Tomorrow's match is the one I've been fearing most since the draw was made.

Most Utd fans won't like hearing this but that's a good result for us. We went into the match as underdogs, put in a plucky spirited performance, and stole a point. We might not like our reality at the moment, but it is reality nonetheless.

Is there anything worth watching on Apple TV? I've got a feeling the new series of Slow Horses is going to be a let down so I'm looking for something else to justify getting a one month subscription.

I know some of you were tempted to put the heating on this morning but I'm proud that you didn't.

When was the last time Utd went into a match with Leeds as underdogs?

Ferguson was brave enough to buy Ince and Keane to replace Robson. Utd need to be brave enough to do the same with Fernandes this summer.

We live in age of wonderful scientific and engineering advancements, yet it's still dark at 7am during autumn and winter. They really ought to come up with something other than just winding the clocks back an hour.

Lisandro Martinez is clearly in touch with what most fans are feeling - the club should give him a six year contract extension and a substantial pay rise.

I've no idea what our approach to Leeds game should be, but I want Baleba, Lacey and McTominay to be in the starting line-up.
