Since INEOS came in, ETH averaged 1.23 pts/game over 22 league games, Amorim 1.23 over 47. Carrick is on 1.74 over 27. Pochettino's Premier League career is 1.77 over 294. United sacked LVG on 1.79 after 76 games, Solskjær on 1.81 after 109 and Mourinho on 1.89 after 93 #MUFC
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Manchester United finalising deal to appoint Mauricio Pochettino if ultimate decision made to replace Michael Carrick. 54yo lined up & terms being done with camp. #MUFC yet to contact US but straight-forward should plan proceed @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/7767421…

If Carrick goes this week, he leaves with 1.76 points a game in the league, more than Ten Hag, Moyes, Rangnick or Amorim got. Three weeks ago he was ahead of Mourinho, Solskjær and van Gaal too. #MUFC #GlazersOut
🚨 Michael Carrick, at Carrington today to lead Manchester United training again — same as yesterday. No formal communication from the club on his future yet but from today expected any moment. The expectation remains for Carrick to be sacked, waiting for Sir Jim Ratcliffe green light.

The only time Pochettino has won at Old Trafford in his eight visits as a manager #MUFC

The man is in his flow state. And his batting is a part of it. He got better at 37. ODI avg up from 52 to 84, strike rate up from 87 to 119. He hit 30 sixes at 37, after just 4 in the two years before. #ViratKohli 🐐 @Vimalwa

Brendan Taylor at 40, and a three-and-a-half-year ban behind him, has his first Test hundred in eight years. Five of his other six have come against Bangladesh, so this is only his second against anyone else #AFGvZIM

Como have scored 19 goals in their first four Champions League games. That 4-1 looks a bit less strange now #MUFC

Green tennis balls on 21 minutes for 21 years of the Glazers. Second time in five years United have been 2-0 down to an Italian side in the Champions League at Old Trafford and won 3-2. Protest. Comeback. All #MUFC #GlazersOut

India saw the best of Glenn Maxwell. Of his 10 international hundreds for Australia, five of them are in India, including his only Test hundred #Maxwell

Roma have lost all four of their games at Old Trafford, 15 goals conceded and 3 scored, and Carrick scored two of them in 2007 Can his team score two this time around? #MUFC

After today Manchester United has racked up: - Worst Premier League start ever - Longest winless run since 1988 - 7 points from 27 possible - No clean sheets all season - Fight for relegation Feels a lot worse because the club is directionless, and no solution in sight

Series on the line and #SAvAUS is tantalizingly poised. Australia have chased 250 or more to win a Test only 3 times since 2008, Joburg 2011, Edgbaston 2023 and Christchurch 2024, all away, and Cummins hit the winning runs in every one of them. 288 to get at Newlands tomorrow.

So United have won just twice in their last 13 league trips to Stamford Bridge and Carrick has won one and drawn the other as a United Manager. #MUFC

Ten Hag got a new contract and was sacked 116 days later. Carrick was made permanent and now has sat through a crisis meeting 157 days later. Different managers, same directionless INEOS in October. #MUFC

Harry Kane had finished tenth in the Ballon d'Or three times and never higher, and he did not win a single trophy until he was 31. At 33, he has five trophies and he is holding THE #BallonDor

£1.012 billion taken from Manchester United, stolen directly from the club, for the Glazer debt saddled on the club. £170 million paid out in dividends. Around £42m paid every year since the 2005 Glazer leveraged buyout - a process that is now illegal - to service their debt.

Interest on the Glazers' debt passed £1bn last year. Over 20 years that's £50m a season, a couple of signings short every summer since 2005 that went to the banks, not the squad or footballing infrastructure. Every manager since 2005 including SAF has worked with this. #MUFC

Since 2005 Premier League clubs have had a total interest cost on borrowings and financial debt of £3.5bn. One club and one set of owners is responsible for 35% of the total. #Glazernomics Figures per @valuball
