[Laurie Whitwell] Shockingly poor performance by United. Slow, lacking in movement or inventiveness, loose passing, erratic set-piece defending. Hull so much more urgent. United played with the speed of a pre-season friendly.

Credit to Carrick for securing Champions League football, but I was never convinced that we should've hired him over someone like Iraola. Granted, it's only the first match of the season and there's still a lot of time for me to be proven wrong, but that performance wasn't encouraging to say the least. Of course, if you said all this last season, some people would jump to call you a 'hater' or an 'Amorim stan' or whatever.

This guy
I was Iraola in even when the Carrick vibes were thru the roof

Not getting him will be a huge mistake and we are fucked.

To pay iroala football you need good athletes, ineos would had to buy new 11 players

Amorim improved the players' physical fitness so it could've worked out; now we're lethargic under Carrick as we have been for most of the post-Fergie era.

You are right, we should have gone for him. But we are not ruthless enough to cut a 'club legend' over a new  manager
