Manchester United looked like they were going to get three points against the Zerby Spurs, but then right at the very end, Salanki get the faintest of touches and Spurs left with a point. United denied all three points. So, where is it at now for Manchester United? It's the worst start to any season for them since 1986. The man in charge, Michael Carrick, formerly a player, now the man in the hot seat. and the reaction at the end of the game uh in inside Old Trafford certainly got to him >> when things aren't quite going to plan. Um I understand uh the reaction at times. Um I don't and obviously it hurts, you know. It hurts a lot. It's not nice to go through. Sometimes you have to go through it. That's how it is. You know, we I care as much as anybody about this place. So sometimes you could say too much cuz then it overspills. But it's um it's coming from a good place really. And so I understand it. Um but yeah, of course it's not nice to have to go through that. Uh I thought the players dealt with dealt with it well to be honest and and and used it coming out especially in the second half. >> What's your take Simon on Carrick postmatch there? >> Well, I saw a different interview that he did and I thought he was he didn't exude any confidence, any kind of leadership. And sometimes you can take a lot from these things and sometimes you perhaps shouldn't because sometimes people aren't always that great in the media. But I think that he looks like a man out of his depth. And I always felt that there's a distinct possibility he might be. I don't know what Manchester United are. I don't know what their objective is. If they think they're going to win a league anytime soon, they need to go and wear and have a really serious think about those sort of things because they're nowhere near it. They'll probably win very little under Michael. But notwithstanding that, you know, they still gain a lot of attention. They were poor side. They were poor. Top of by far the better side. I I I don't understand how Luke Shaw got to stay on the pitch and Bento got sent off. I find that flabbergasting. But they're just a poor side. >> They were outrun as well. As Simon says, they were outplayed for most of the match. Outrun as well at Old Trafford. >> Yeah. >> How how does that happen? >> It's not It happened already, you know, at the start of the season. I think uh twice, you know, they they were losing points or games 11 against 10 and they play against Spurs yesterday. They were bottom of the league. I mean, you're leading the score. You play against 10 men and you're considered uh what extra times, you know, the equalizer. >> So, I mean, what's wrong with this club? It's been like this for ages. You can change manager. You can do whatever you want on the bench. You can bring any players you want. It doesn't work. What's wrong in this in this club? >> When you walked out there in an Arsenal shirt, >> Yeah. >> it was some tussle. It was some game. >> What do you see when you look at Manchester United now? Old Trafford back in days was a castle you know you cannot go into it. It was very difficult. They they were playing with pride with energy. They were fierce players on the pitch. They will give you um a fight from the start until the end and they will be very able you know to to kill you as well with the ball in the fit. Now I don't see anything at all. I don't see any passion. I don't see any unity through between the the players. And on top of it, when I look Carrick, you know, I have a huge respect for him, you know, but I think he's a really decent person, but uh he's lost his body language. I mean, I've seen that so many times, you know, with former managers at Manchester United. They come in in a press room, you know, after a couple of weeks and they are not there anymore. They're like ghost. And this is the feeling I have. who's gonna take, you know, the lead at Manchester United, you know, and to uh to to be able, you know, to regain, you know, the the the position they should be, you know, >> he looks lost. >> I think he looks and I I was supporting him last season, you know, I wanted him to stay, you know, as a manager, but after we are just mid of October, I mean, he's doesn't get any energy anymore. >> The owners put him there, Simon. >> Yeah. The the club. >> So, the ownership the club the fingers have got to be pointed in that direction, too. Of course, in a number of different reasons over a significant period of time, ever since Jim and and his ideas have come into the club, you know, but the Man United eats its managers for lunch. It eats its own. And you look at it and say, you my argument would be you look at Man United, you go, you got to get better managers. >> But Arsenal went for an inexperienced manager >> in Arteta and gave him a chance. And they didn't eat him up. The club, there were periods of time when he had difficulty, but he powered his way through it. The club kept on supporting him. You never feel that Man United can give a manager a chance because Carrick will beounded out the door. You had Amarim in previously that I don't understand what the Amir experiment was because they brought somebody in that could tell everybody how crap they were, how crap the team was, how crap the club was, how everything was and play a system that couldn't clearly meet the expectations of the players and their abilities of these players and then disappear out the door after 5 minutes and then prior to that and prior to that and prior to that and prior to that. So, it it feels to me that something inside Manchester United eats people from the inside out. And it doesn't make a lot of sense to me how you're going to how you can resolve the problem because there's an argument. I I saw something on the schedule about Man United being stingy, which I don't like that expression. But the point is is that Man United have spent over the last three seasons more money than Arsenal. >> Man United have spent 700 million euros in the last three seasons and Arsenal spent 600 million in the last three seasons. Arsenal are winning the league and Man United are nowhere near it. The only thing that's propping Man United up is their reputation and the and the and the fascination of the media with the Man United that doesn't exist anymore. It is is I I use this expression many times. It is like the dead power out of the Montipython sketch. It's an ex power. This is no longer Manchester United and it needs to be thought of slightly differently because they bring players like Rashford in who I think have that should have been jettisoned. They bring players in that aren't good enough. They make decisions about management that seems to have no rhyme and reason behind it. And and here we are now. But back end of last season, people would advocate for Carrick would suggest that given the fact that he sailed them into less choppy waters because Amarim was such a clown at the end that they you that anything better than Amarim was going to create a better outcome. >> But if I got got to turn a corner at Liverpool, Emanuel, Michael Carrick has got to turn the corner and soon at Manchester United because talk about fans losing patience. They loved him as a player of course and he has that in the bank in terms of credit but >> he's responsible he's not the only one I think I saw yesterday you know some u body language you know on the pitch that I didn't like it >> from him >> especially from Fernandez I mean he's probably the leader of the team one of the best player you know for years at Manchester United but I think um it affect him as well I think he the whole case has an impact you know on him because you could see that he doesn't he's not involved anymore in sometimes, you know, um the fight the problem you can have, you know, on the pitch is so far away. I've saw I saw so many pictures of of it, you know, yesterday and I was thinking he's not there anymore. >> Maybe he's uh he's tired of the situ the whole situation for years. So, going back for what I said before, it's it's one thing to have a lot of money, but it's something else, you know, to splash it in a good way. How many players actually for even now right now but for the last few years how many players are among their best in their position at Manchester United? >> I know Manchester United you know back in days. >> Yeah. >> The the half team you know was they were among the best player in their position. >> Sure. >> Can you name one player? >> No, I know what you're saying. The the fact is this Carrick's still in the job. He's in the job. That said, do you fear for him? >> Yes. Yes, because it's been the case for at Manchester United for years now. Every time they don't get the results and the fans are becoming, you know, tired of the situation. The the only solution is to get over the manager. You cannot get over the players because they are under contract. It's easy, you know, to take the responsibility on one man. It's the manager. So that's why I said he's under pressure. >> I mean, it's brutal, but you think it's a matter of time. This is uh what it is, you know, in football, you know, when you don't get the result and you you're you're on top of a big clubs and you don't get the result, you you pay the price for it. >> And another name in the conversation is one Antonio. >> I was about to say that. I mean, much as I dislike what he represents at times, I think Ki and Una Una will go in there. They are elite managers. Michael Carrick is a very decent manager that's gone in done a very decent job. He's a very honest individual that worked hard at Middlesborough. >> But when did it become that a man that can't get a team promoted from the championship is managing Manchester United. When did that become Durigar? When did that become something that you look at and go, well, that's going to rival whatever's left of Man City. That's going to rival Man City that's going to rival the big clubs. That's going to rival Arsenal. That's a I always maintained, how do you overcome? You got you got to have better players, but you also got somebody with a dugout that's capable. How dare Man United players turn up on the first game of the season against a newly promoted side in hull and put in a performance like that? How dare they for the traveling fans and and embarrass themselves and set the tone for the season. >> Why don't you start the you you always know when you're playing a promoted side having owned one they're going to be full of gusto. So what they're not full of is quality and you you you as a established Premier League side is you wait for your moment and you pick them off. United were dribble in that first game. They got bashed up by Hull and they set the tone for the rest of the season on the first game. >> And it begs a question and I hesitate to ask it Emanuel but I will. Will these current Manchester United players cost Carrick his job? >> I think I think they don't care anymore about the manager. That's my opinion because I've seen that you know for years now. I can't remember how many manager you know they I've been on the bench at Manchester United. So for the same result you know the same situation. No one's able you know to change that kind of situation. For me the the ones who can change that situation are the players. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> So, do you think they really care about their manager? >> I don't think so. >> He will cost himself his job. He will cost himself his job >> by doing what? >> If he doesn't, if he's not able to reach the players, to get the players to respond to him, to get from the players what's required of of them in the most basic fundamental task of being able to work hard and apply themselves, if he wants to accept, he didn't have to take this contract at Man United. He was in a decent position where Man United wanted him to take it. He didn't have to have I'm not making picking on Rashford, but I think Rashford and people like Rashford are part of the ailment. Move them on. Let them have a better career. somewhere else. Clear out the stuff that's no longer fit for purpose despite the fact that people think it is in certain times and build a culture inside that football club that knows what the responsibility of playing for Man United should really feel like. >> And what about Conte? Is he the man? >> Well, Conte won't muck about and perhaps Man United's ball deserves someone like Conte because Kante will go in there and he'll out them and he'll do whatever he does and I won't like some of it. Uh, and I think it'll be self- serving some of it, but he won't muck about and you can't argue with the fact that Conte wins things. However, he wins them, he wins things. So, the Man United players, two people will get no choice in this. The players and the bold, the players that play for Kanti have to play for him. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.
