Carrick won Premier Leagues and a Champions League, while Bruno & Co. treated winning a pre-season tournament like their defining moment. You wouldn’t want any of them in your club’s team and you can see why. A disgrace. #MUFC

What shines through is the weak mentality. None of them are good enough and none of them have any sense of self-respect. None of this lot will be remembered in years to come. I’d love a madman like Conte to make their lives a misery for the rest of the season #MUFC

Not one of them useless charlatans is fit to lace Carrick’s boots. He’s achieved more than they ever will. Absolute frauds the lot of them and I’ll be glad to see the back of all of them. Disgraceful set of players who you’d be unlucky to have at your club #MUFC

I’d rather get relegated and never see the majority of this lot ever again. None of them will be welcome back after retirement. Instantly forgettable chancers the lot of them. Dalot is one of the worst footballers I’ve ever seen. #MUFC

Full backs atrocious. I never want to see Mazraoui or Dalot play for United again. Mount non-existent. Tielemans about five stone over. No passes strung together. One of the lowest points I think. The club’s rotten, and it starts with the deplorable owner. #MUFC

Scoring now is almost worst than not scoring at all. Pathetic. #MUFC

The worst part is the season is pretty much done already. Never mind. Who has suggestions for things to do midweek and on a weekend? #MUFC

There’s no one likeable player in this rotten team. All absolute wasters. #MUFC

Carrick has been poor BUT this is appalling from a group of so-called professionals. Utterly abject. Rotten to the core and an embarrassment. If it was any other job they’d all be sacked tomorrow morning. Beyond pathetic. #MUFC

Feel for Carrick but a lot of the problems are self-inflicted. Why does it take so long to make a sub? Why has the system so radically altered from last season? Get rid now and give the season some semblance of a chance of something. #MUFC

"Disappointed and surprised"
🚨 OFFICIAL: Manchester City statement. “Manchester City FC is both disappointed and surprised by the opinion of the Premier League Commission, that has been published today. The Club is innocent of the accusations made by the Premier League and a comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence exists in support of all of its positions, relating to this case. The Club will therefore be relentless, and where necessary proactive, in any and all appropriate regulatory and legal forums.  The Premier League process remains ongoing, with significant elements uncompleted. Manchester City FC will now pursue the appeal avenues open to it, on the basis that the opinion contains clear material errors, of law, principle and fact, and is unsafe.  The Club has diligently respected due process for eight years on the basis that the Premier League Board and Executive would behave as an independent, impartial and fair-minded regulator, free from partisan influence.   The Club is obviously restricted in what it can say further until all future proceedings are complete”.

What I find frustrating is the refusal from some to acknowledge that yes, the City squad played well, but they were a squad that shouldn’t have been allowed to be put together. It’s like giving yourself a billion quid on Football Manager and then being smug you’ve gone unbeaten.

This is genuinely mad.
Replying to @CWeatherspoon_
Man City's £854.5m revenue overstatement between 2009-10 and 2017-18 was more than the total revenues in that time of all but eight English clubs (the other 'Big Six' teams, Everton, West Ham and Newcastle) £854.5m in misstated revenue was 30% of #MCFC total revenue in period

This one still hurts for me. A certain returning player ruined what could’ve been. #MUFC
First Prem title since SAF btw

As a United fan I look forward to each and every international break

I’d be worried if I was a Crystal Palace fan. They look utterly toothless.

Love that. Argentina are absolutely garbage. Would’ve been a crime to see them win it. Dreadful team. Shambolic they got this far. ¡VAMOS ESPAÑA! #WorldCup2026 #WC26

¡VAMOS! Delighted to see Spain lead. Argentina’s anti-football approach is a disgrace.

One of the most gutless knockout game performances from Austria. They’ve done absolutely nothing. #WC2026
