I went in as blind as possible for #DeadpoolandWolverine and I'm so happy that I did. It's a love letter to Marvel fans who've indulged in comics and movies for the longest time. Ryan, Hugh and Emma are phenomenal! PLEASE stay off social media until you've watched the movie! 9/10

INEOS ARE EVIL BTW.
They’re keeping Carrick under the excuse that they want to “break the cycle”.
They want to score points with the fans by making it look like they’re backing the manager, while Carrick takes all the heat and hate during these toxic times.
In reality, all they care about is the money they’d have to spend if they sacked him. They don’t care about results or anything else. It’s ALL about saving money. Parasites.

Only Man Utd could spend one week briefing negative stories about Bruno Fernandes, then spend the next pushing positive PR through their client journalists about the Carrick/Bruno relationship.
This is the new Man Utd, PR driven to push their own narrative.

INEOS:
Sacked Amorim for the wrong reasons
Keeping Carrick for the wrong reasons
sums up their stint so far 👍🏼

i'm told ineos were underprepared, as well as financial reasons being the main reasons as to why they decided to keep carrick. literally nearly every staff expected carrick to go after bournemouth. it's so bad that it's laughable
Understand one of the main reasons #MUFC have decided to keep Michael Carrick is due to financial reasons. Sir Jim Ratcliffe made the final decision after talks involving Glazers, Berrada & Wilcox. Carrick could have #CFC, #Roma & #AVFC games. @UtdDistrict roundtable.io/sports/soccer/…

Maybe Amorim was right abt INEOS being influenced by Gary Neville.
"Conte doesn’t suit the club that I support."
Carrick is out of depth tactically. Captain Bruno & Utd players doubt his tactics. But Wilcox is afraid to sack him. Best in incompetence.

Manchester United have already decided to sack Michael Carrick. The problem is they cannot agree on his replacement.
Waiting until the international break may also reduce the compensation involved.
Meanwhile, we're being sold the narrative that Carrick is being given another chance. I'm not buying it.
To me, this looks like poor planning, financial penny-pinching and a leadership team incapable of making decisive football decisions.
And when the new manager arrives, watch the PR machine explain how everything was part of a carefully considered strategy. Don't confuse a polished explanation with a well-run football club.

🗒️ The majority of the fanbase are #HoweOut before even he comes in and our board thinks it is a good idea to still ignore the fanbase and brief that Howe is the favourite and Nagelsmann is not gonna get the job. The definition of a dictatorship.
#MUFC #BoycottUnited #GlazersAndIneosOut
📌 Julian Nagelsmann 🇩🇪 is viewed as an unlikely replacement for Michael Carrick by people close to Manchester United.
Nagelsmann is still admired by United’s director of recruitment Christopher Vivell, but an appointment is currently considered unlikely.

🚨🚨🌕| NEW: There is the consideration at Manchester United that the international break in less than a fortnight’s time would allow any new head coach the chance to bed in better than now. [@TheAthleticFC]

Jason Wilcox is relying on Michael Carrick to keep his job, because it's all about self-preservation for him. Hiding behind Carrick in the hope that it saves him sums him up.
Until those at Manchester United acknowledge the mistakes they've made & clean house, we'll keep finding ourselves here. The club has no chance with zero stability & failed leadership.
🚨💣 BREAKING:
One source close to United feels it is inevitable the former Blackburn and Leeds player will eventually lose his job if a third managerial change in as many seasons is made.
Another senior figure in the game told BBC Sport both Wilcox and Berrada may be vulnerable, suggesting Ratcliffe could be considering a wider overhaul of senior staff.
For now, though, minds are focused on Stamford Bridge, with Carrick due to speak to the media on Thursday.

Confirmation that Wilcox is holding Man Utd hostage.
He will oppose anyone Vivell picks.
Ratcliffe listening to him is the crazy part.
You are a billionaire and your judgement in football is so poor.
No wonder we are in this hole.

🚨 JUST IN:
Manchester United had PLANNED on sacking Michael Carrick this week but failure to settle on a replacement has granted him another stay of execution. #MUFC [@samuelluckhurst]

Nagelsmann in possession has played
3-2-3-2
3-1-3-3
3-2-2-3
He's played with wide full backs, he's played with wide wingers, he's played with inverted wingers, he's played with no wingers, he's played possession football, he's played fast central progression, fast wide progression, he's leaned into individuality at Bayern as he recognised big teams don't always focus on the opposition and was actually asking players in meetings what their input is.
He's played in frameworks of
4-4-2
5-3-2
3-4-1-2
3-4-3
4-3-3
4-1-4-1
4-2-2-2
He's not just about one way of vertical progression. He wants to dominate the ball if it allows but, he also allows players creative freedom and working it out for themselves within the framework if it allows.
He's one of the most tactically flexible coaches around to be honest and isn't wedded to one way.

This needs as much exposure as possible. We have someone who admittedly HATED Manchester United now in charge of huge decisions at the football club. There’s no statute of limitations on this. Because it manifests in not caring and incompetence. Like now.
