On the bolded, see I like Carrick as well but to me he comes across as dull as dishwater when he speaks, absolutely zero enthusiasm in his voice. I could not bare that as a full time manager (not that he will be.)Pretty much avoiding all of the Rangnick questions. I struggle to believe that he hasn’t even spoken to him yet.
I imagine his “learning on the job” comments won’t go down too well on the caf…
I like Carrick though, he’s not particularly charismatic but still comes across quite well in interviews.
I agree with you on all points. I really hope that RR is given the autonomy and authority to do what needs to be done to get things on track.On the bolded, see I like Carrick as well but to me he comes across as dull as dishwater when he speaks, absolutely zero enthusiasm in his voice.

I still hope he makes it as a coach but as I've said in other posts, I don't want anybody learning on the job now at United, we need to appoint the best in all positions. Hopefully the manager that RR appoints in future brings in his own backroom staff of coaches who are fully capable of implementing the managers desired style. I don't want to see our coaches here under a new manager only to be questioning their ability next season.
Absolutely, RR is an interesting and quite exciting choice and it's very reassuring to see his credentials. No more inexperienced coaches / managers, United is a big ship and it needs a strong captain at the helm. Same goes for the coaching setup. Much as I like Carrick, he needs to go and learn his trade somewhere else or at least be shunted so far back in the pecking order that his immediate influence on the team is diminished. We have to start making forward movement now.I still hope he makes it as a coach but as I've said in other posts, I don't want anybody learning on the job now at United, we need to appoint the best in all positions.

Read between the lines and it's clear to see here Carrick thinks Fred is awful. Get rid Michael!"That mentality is infectious, I think he's improved an awful lot, Fred. He brings a great energy to the team and he's improving, he's played a little higher up the pitch than before because we tweaked a couple of things for both games and he's done ever so well. The regains and especially Cristiano's goal against Villarreal epitomises that and he almost did it when he intercepted from Mendy. He brings an awful lot to the team and I like him an awful lot.
Good to see Carrick shares my opinion on Fred. Best option we have in midfield in this current squad imo (when you factor in Pogba doesn't fit with what we have and the rest of them are shite or past it.)Carrick on Fred

Maybe Ralf spoke to him and he didn't reply.Says he hasn't spoken to Ralf, does that mean Carrick is in the dark as to his feature?
Why would he do that? Even though it's likely Ralf hasn't spoken to him.Maybe Ralf spoke to him and he didn't reply.

I bet you didn't last long in those jobs.To assert dominance over your new boss. I've done it a few times at previous jobs.
It’s like watching Jesse Pinkman speak the morning after a meth binge.
Damn he's a handsome bastard.On the plus side, at least he stands in the technical area all game looking menacing and interested as appose to playing paint by numbers on the iPad
I know. Bit of a stretch there Michael!He really said Fred nearly scored after that horrendous chip attempt!
It means the club have instructed him not to say anything that could be interpreted as Rangnick assuming his role as manager before being granted a work permit.Says he hasn't spoken to Ralf, does that mean Carrick is in the dark as to his feature?
Or Rangnick has spoken to Fletcher and Fletcher to CarrickIt means the club have instructed him not to say anything that could be interpreted as Rangnick assuming his role as manager before being granted a work permit.
For the argumentative among you, Ralf taking a tour of the stadium and watching the Arsenal match from the stands does not fall under the category of assuming managerial duties at a football club.
Ross Barkley chilling with a starbucks, getting a ringside seat for a premier league match and getting paid a ton of doshOn the plus side, at least he stands in the technical area all game looking menacing and interested as appose to playing paint by numbers on the iPad
Either way, Carrick is handling the question perfectly.Or Rangnick has spoken to Fletcher and Fletcher to Carrick
for me he seems focused. I like that.Pretty much avoiding all of the Rangnick questions. I struggle to believe that he hasn’t even spoken to him yet.
I imagine his “learning on the job” comments won’t go down too well on the caf…
I like Carrick though, he’s not particularly charismatic but still comes across quite well in interviews.
You should always be learning on the job. Moyes didn’t (said he’d change nothing if he had the chance to start again) and sadly Ole didn’t seem to either.Pretty much avoiding all of the Rangnick questions. I struggle to believe that he hasn’t even spoken to him yet.

This last point is what folk on here were saying before Van Gaal and before Mourinho. "Quality" managers who didn't perform well at pressers or in the long term, for that matter. And here we're eulogising over a guy who hasn't won anything and hasn't been involved with a club side for years. Beggars belief!Press conferences in last few years have become pointless, the same old Man United propaganda gets spewed out, most of us have given up taking these seriously.
As for Carrick, i really don't know what to make of him. In the last 3 conferences that he has had, my reflection is that he sounds like Ole and looks like a little child in a grown ups world. He oozes zero confidence or belief. What he has done on the pitch in the last 2 games is nothing revolutionary or exciting, but he got the business done in the old fashioned way by piling up in midfield and waiting for the counter. I expect our way play to be no different against Arsenal.
Thankfully, this may be the last time we sit here and complain how deflated we feel after a press conference. I'd like to see RR change this.
Que?ATM, RR, needs MC , and the rest, games are coming thick and fast, so it has to be suttle, changes to just win games at least from now till middle of Jan. RR is not getting much time on the traing pitch between games yet.
