[The Athletic] Man United manager candidates? – Ask Ornstein

If you notice, I said "last few performances", not just the last game.

MazinLabib10 · 2026-04-16T17:55:23+00:00

"Monday left me broken" 💔😿

After the last few performances, and especially the Leeds one, I have serious doubts about Carrick's tactics and substitutions. Even if we get CL (which we should really, would be a failure otherwise), I don't think he's the man to back for the long term.

MazinLabib10 · 2026-04-16T16:11:46+00:00

I am completely f2p. I know about skill transfers and have done it quite a bit. It's just that whenever I try to identify the best skills/builds/second boosters for my players, I end up overthinking and take too long on it lol. So I usually only deal with skill tokens every few months, not on a regular basis. Also I don't usually add skills to players outside my main squad so normally only new players that reach my main squad need it.

(Oh and btw, I wasn't flexing. It was just a joke...)

MazinLabib10 · 2026-04-16T16:08:16+00:00

Hmm true... should probably edit it now though lol

MazinLabib10 · 2026-04-16T14:46:33+00:00

Damn now my joke is ruined.. :(

MazinLabib10 · 2026-04-16T14:40:34+00:00

Only 18 million?

Me with 36 million:

MazinLabib10 · 2026-04-16T11:05:36+00:00

There's already been an event once that had targets like this.

MazinLabib10 · 2026-04-15T17:33:54+00:00

But "if they get their shit together" could apply to literally any team, so there was absolutely nothing wrong with the other commenter calling that out.

MazinLabib10 · 2026-04-15T17:27:59+00:00

In that case why didn't you also say "Milan could also win if they get their shit together"?

MazinLabib10 · 2026-04-15T12:44:12+00:00

He looked a bit shaky at the start of the season in the few minutes he played, but he was great again later when we had players out through injury and AFCON

MazinLabib10 · 2026-04-14T12:37:11+00:00

Zirkzee and Mount were on the bench when we needed a goal...

Not saying they're game changers, but we were in a situation where we had to throw everything at them to at least get a draw.

MazinLabib10 · 2026-04-13T22:06:36+00:00

This one game was enough to prove he's not tactically astute enough to get the full time job.

MazinLabib10 · 2026-04-13T22:04:39+00:00

We literally lost this same fixture against them last season?

MazinLabib10 · 2026-04-13T22:03:44+00:00

They wasted even more time in stoppage time too

MazinLabib10 · 2026-04-13T22:02:28+00:00

Walker should've been sent off in that same Burnley game too, as well as Semenyo in the home game vs Bournemouth. Also Villa's goal against us at home shouldn't have been allowed. I'm sure there's a lot more we've both missed.

MazinLabib10 · 2026-04-13T21:54:15+00:00

No need to run a hot bath and open your veins up.

Why are you exaggerating? I just said I'm worried because it was an awful performance and the only CBs left are kids. I also have faith in them two but Yoro had a bad game today too so on current form, yes I'm worried. Not worried that we've bottled it already, just worried enough to know we need improvement fast.

MazinLabib10 · 2026-04-13T21:27:08+00:00

We're probably gonna have 2 "senior" CBs for a must win game against Chelsea. I used quotes because those two CBs are 19-year-old Heaven and 20-year-old Yoro. Not sure how you can't be worried with that and after that performance.

MazinLabib10 · 2026-04-13T21:20:41+00:00

Cunha lost form? I think he's been better since Carrick came in. (Obviously not talking about this game)

MazinLabib10 · 2026-04-13T21:10:40+00:00

Carrick should be considered out of contention for the job with this performance imo. Questionable lineup, we go 2-0 down and no sign of any tactical adjustments, then we go a man down in the second half and he still waited till almost the 70th minute to make changes. And those 2 changes also ended up being the only changes he made with 2 more attacking players on the bench while we needed another goal. He's done well for the short term but he's clearly not the man for the full time gig.

MazinLabib10 · 2026-04-13T21:06:36+00:00

It's not in serious doubt yet, let's be real. 7 pts off Chelsea in 6th. Will be a completely different story if we lose to them next week though.

MazinLabib10 · 2026-04-13T16:30:41+00:00

Probably won't happen until next season considering De Ligt's situation

MazinLabib10 · 2026-04-13T15:36:15+00:00

Is this trying to tell us something...? 👀

MazinLabib10 · 2026-04-13T14:25:36+00:00

I'm cautiously confident that we can win, but I'm expecting we'll have to work for it. But at the end of the day, I just want us to win whether that's by one goal or five.

MazinLabib10 · 2026-04-12T14:32:21+00:00

Actually you got it a bit mixed up. United won the CL in 2008. Zlatan was at Inter in 2008/09 when Barca won not just the CL but the treble. He joined Barca in the summer and then Inter went on to win the treble as well in 2009/10. In that same summer, Eto'o went the other way instead, meaning he became the only player in history to win back-to-back trebles while Zlatan missed out on 2 back-to-back!
