Comeback Kings

Manchester United are preparing for yet another managerial upheaval. According to reporting from David Ornstein and colleagues at The Athletic, the club intend to relieve Michael Carrick of his duties as head coach. The hierarchy continues to insist no final decision has been taken, but multiple sources indicate work is already underway on replacements, with the expectation of a change before the trip to Anfield to face Liverpool on 22 November. nytimes.com Carrick, the former United midfielder, was handed the permanent role in May 2026 after an impressive interim spell that began in January following Ruben Amorim’s dismissal. He steered the side from mid-table into third place, securing Champions League qualification with a points return that outstripped every other club in the final months of the campaign. That success earned him a two-year contract. The current season has proved a sharp reverse. United have won only once in their opening 10 Premier League matches and sit 18th, inside the relegation zone, after a chaotic 4-4 draw with Aston Villa at Old Trafford. The result followed earlier heavy defeats to Bournemouth and Como and a 2-0 loss at Chelsea. A brief stay of execution after the Bournemouth reverse produced only mixed results—one Champions League win against Roma and the Villa draw—leaving faith in Carrick’s ability to reverse the slide largely eroded. @david_ornstein Three names are now emerging as the principal candidates should the club act. Mauricio Pochettino, currently head coach of the United States national team, is expected to figure highly. The Argentine has long been linked with Old Trafford, dating back to periods when Erik ten Hag’s position was under scrutiny, and he previously held talks with Ineos over the Nice job. Reports indicate United are conducting due diligence on his contractual situation with the USMNT; a release clause or negotiated exit remains a possibility. Pochettino’s track record of developing young players at Espanyol, Southampton and Tottenham, combined with Premier League experience at Chelsea, appeals to a club that has repeatedly struggled with identity and squad progression since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement. Eddie Howe, the former Newcastle United manager, has clear admirers within the structure, particularly director of football Jason Wilcox, who values proven Premier League experience. Howe left St James’ Park in the summer after nearly five years in which he transformed Newcastle from relegation candidates into a Champions League side and delivered the Carabao Cup in 2025. As a free agent he would represent a relatively straightforward appointment, though compensation considerations from any residual arrangements have been noted in earlier reporting. His high-intensity, organised style is viewed by some as a corrective to the defensive fragility that has characterised United’s recent displays. Julian Nagelsmann, most recently Germany’s head coach until his departure after a disappointing World Cup campaign, also retains support. Head of recruitment Christopher Vivell worked with the German at RB Leipzig and rates him highly. Nagelsmann’s previous success at Hoffenheim, Leipzig and Bayern Munich demonstrates he can operate at elite level, and he speaks fluent English. Questions remain about his lack of experience outside Germany and whether his more possession-oriented, tactically fluid approach would translate immediately to the Premier League’s physical demands. Both Howe and Nagelsmann are available without the contractual complications that attend Pochettino. Any appointment will require sign-off from co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazer family, with chief executive Omar Berrada and Wilcox central to the process. The club has already cycled through multiple permanent managers since Ferguson—Louis van Gaal, José Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjær, ten Hag and Amorim among them—each appointment ultimately judged a disappointment relative to the club’s.

The resilient Red Devils 💪 @ManUtd have recovered from two goals down THREE times in the past week 👏

🚨🎙️ Sergio Agüero: “People have no idea what it’s really like. In England, it feels like everyone journalists, TV channels, and fans supports Manchester United.” “Everywhere I go, I seem to run into United supporters. Sometimes you ask yourself does Manchester city exist? It’s unbelievable!” 😅 #mufc

📲 Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernández via instagram to Cristiano Ronaldo! "Cris, I was fortunate enough to share the locker room with you and see up close the enormous talent you are. Because discipline isn't enough to get where you've come. It takes dedication, effort, perseverance, resilience and also a lot of talent. Having been able to learn from you is something I take with me not only for football, but for life. “As you close this stage with Portugal, I wanted to tell you how much I admire you and thank you. For what you have given to football, for what I learned being your teammate and for proving that even after achieving so much, you can always keep striving to be better. “Beyond your goals, your records, and everything you've earned, I remain fortunate to have had you as a partner and to have learned from you. Sending you a big hug, Cris. Much love, respect and admiration, always.” xitter.gq/simplyutd/status/21198…

🚨💣 Manchester United consider Michael Carrick position at serious risk after two internal meetings taking place today. Review still ongoing waiting on final decision but Carrick’s job has never been so much under threat, as @JamieJackson___ called. Internal talks continue also on potential options as realistic replacement being discussed.

🚨 𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪: Cristiano Ronaldo is an INVESTOR in WHOOP, the fitness band worn by some of the biggest names in football! Players including Jude Bellingham, Declan Rice, Matheus Cunha and Fermín López have been spotted wearing the device. The band tracks sleep, heart rate, recovery and physical stress, helping athletes understand when to train harder and when to rest. Ronaldo used WHOOP for over TWO YEARS before investing in the company and becoming a global ambassador in 2024.

How should Cristiano leave the national team? 🗣️ Jorge Valdano [former Argentine player]: Cristiano’s legacy in football is so great that nothing can tarnish his standing Moreover, the final stage of any player’s career does not determine their worth. Cruyff ended his career at Levante in the second division, Pelé at Cosmos, and as for Maradona, it is not entirely clear where he ended his career Yet none of them stopped being a symbol of what they represent in football history I fully support players continuing to enjoy the game until their last breath It does not matter if they are in decline; to me, that is even greater proof of their deep love for football.
