'I was blown away by Everton's stadium - but there is something Man United must avoid with new Old Trafford'
Gary Neville has urged Manchester United to not appoint Michael Carrick as their long-term manager‚ insisting that they should go for the best available candidate instead. Carrick has been in the role as Red Devils head coach since January‚ when Ruben Amorim was sacked‚ with his contract expiring at the end of the season. Since his arrival in the Old Trafford dugout‚ United have won five of their six Premier League matches and drawing the other to see them propel up the table to fourth - and just three points behind Aston Villa in third.
RED DEVILS REBORN! Four Amorim Man Utd rules Carrick immediately scrapped to help transform the mood at Old Trafford
The former Chelsea and Manchester United man‚ 37‚ is enjoying something of a renaissance in Australia having won the top flight's Player of the Month for January. The Spaniard signed for Melbourne Victory last September after a turbulent few years since leaving Old Trafford - including a bizarre stint for Japan's Vissel Kobe where he made just one appearance - and appears to have found his form again.
HE'S THE WORLD'S GREATEST: Diogo Dalot claims ex-Man Utd player Anthony Martial could've been the best player in the world if he wanted to be despite underwhelming Old Trafford spell
Michael Carrick has unequivocally stated his desire to land the 'ultimate role' of Manchester United head coach on a permanent basis‚ insisting he is not 'bothered' by criticism from the likes of Roy Keane. Carrick‚ 44‚ has made a strong start to life at Old Trafford after taking the reins from Ruben Amorim last month. He has guided the club to four wins and one draw from his first five Premier League games‚ hauling the club back into the race for Champions League football next season.
CHRIS WHEELER: Manchester United have no intention of re-negotiating a transfer fee for Marcus Rashford with Barcelona. The two clubs agreed a set price for Rashford when he moved to the Nou Camp from Old Trafford on loan last summer‚ giving the Catalans an option to pay £26million to make the deal permanent at the end of the season. Barca are also covering the entirety of Rashford's £315‚000-a-week wages. The 28-year-old England star has impressed in Spain‚ contributing 10 goals and 13 assists from his 34 appearances‚ and Barca are expected to trigger the transfer clause to keep him.
IAN LADYMAN AT THE LONDON STADIUM: Benjamin Sesko was already showing signs of becoming a proper Manchester United player before Michael Carrick walked through the door. So the current United manager can't quite claim the credit for that one. But Carrick can throw his hat on the growing feeling at Old Trafford that a season can turn permanently for the better and it was to absolutely nobody's surprise that his team retrieved a lost cause via Sesko's outstretched boot five minutes in to added time here in east London. This was not a particularly good United performance and had they lost to Tomas Soucek's 50th minute goal then they could not have complained. After recent days of adrenaline at Old Trafford‚ Carrick's team were a little flat back out on the road again.
CHRIS WHEELER AT OLD TRAFFORD: With every passing game and each win‚ Michael Carrick is making the job of managing Manchester United look rather easy. With every passing game and each win‚ he is also making Ruben Amorim look a little foolish. For all that Carrick has done right since he was appointed head coach until the end of the season‚ it has only highlighted just how much Amorim got wrong during his turbulent 14-month reign at Old Trafford. In many ways‚ Carrick is the perfect antidote to the combustible Portuguese: a man who wins games on the pitch and minds what he says off it. Amorim was box office but‚ sadly‚ his team were not.
The United academy graduate had started just one game this season under Amorim - away to Grimsby Town in a humiliating Carabao Cup defeat - before the Portuguese boss was sacked. The 20-year-old was so disillusioned about his future at Old Trafford that he had planned to join Serie A giants Napoli on loan for the rest of the season.
OLIVER HOLT AT OLD TRAFFORD: An open-air service took place on the Old Trafford forecourt before kick-off to remember those who died in the Munich Air Disaster 68 years ago this week. Thousands stood beneath the Munich Clock and leaden skies and observed a minute's silence. A couple of lines from the Book of Ecclesiastes were read out to a few thousand supporters who had gathered there. 'A time to weep and a time to laugh‚' the words read‚ 'a time to mourn and a time to dance.' The words were beautifully read and beautifully observed. And some did weep as the names of the Busby Babes who perished were read out‚ and all mourned. And then the fans poured into a stadium where they have learned‚ in the past few weeks‚ how to laugh and to dance again.

CARRICK ON REGARDLESS: Interim Man Utd boss tells Old Trafford chiefs NOT to make 'knee-jerk' decision over job despite fine form ahead of Spurs clash
CHRIS WHEELER AT OLD TRAFFORD: Hundreds of fans gathered under leaden skies at Old Trafford to hear Rev Boyers pay tribute to the 23 people who died as a result of the tragedy‚ including eight of the Busby Babes‚ on February 6‚ 1958 as Manchester United returned from a European Cup tie in Belgrade and made a third attempt to take off at Munich-Riem Airport after refuelling.
Roberto De Zerbi has heaped praise on Mason Greenwood in a gushing speech about the Marseille star‚ claiming his player has become 'world-class' player after building on 'what his mother and father taught him'. The former Manchester United forward‚ 24‚ left Old Trafford under controversial circumstances in the summer of 2024 but has since revived his career under De Zerbi‚ proving an integral part of his first team. Greenwood was arrested in January 2022 and charged with attempted rape‚ controlling and coercive behaviour and assault while playing at United‚ which led to him being banished from the squad and dropped by England's national team.

Furious Manchester United fans will still go ahead with a planned protest against the club's ownership despite back-to-back wins under Michael Carrick. Earlier this month protest group The 1958 called for a vote of no confidence in United's hierarchy‚ as well as branding Sir Jim Ratcliffe 'an incompetent clown turning the club into a circus'. The group‚ which has nearly 100‚000 members‚ also announced plans for a demonstration before the game against Fulham at Old Trafford on February 1.
NATHAN SALT: Kai Rooney has been to Old Trafford hundreds of times over the years‚ either in the stands or as a tot running around after his dad. There was the time a mischievous Kai gatecrashed BT Sport's post match coverage of a 2-1 win over Everton in 2014 to perform a handstand next to Jake Humphrey and Paul Scholes. Or the time two years later when he was sat in the dugout between Juan Mata and Marcos Rojo during his dad's testimonial.
They had the Manchester derby on at The England pub in Ljubljana last weekend‚ as you would expect at the Slovenian headquarters of the Manchester United Supporters' Club. Elsewhere‚ across many of the capital's bars‚ though‚ TVs were being switched off in anger an hour before the hotly-anticipated game at Old Trafford after it emerged that Benjamin Sesko had been benched by new head coach Michael Carrick.
PROUD OF ROO! Wayne and Coleen watch on as son Kai‚ 16‚ makes Old Trafford debut with Red Devils boss Carrick also in attendance for FA Youth Cup win
NATHAN SALT AT OLD TRAFFORD: Manchester United interim boss Michael Carrick sat alongside former team-mate Wayne Rooney as he took in his second youth team game of the week. Manchester United's new head coach headed out to support the Under-18s in the FA Youth Cup against Derby County‚ with Rooney alongside him on a night where his 16-year-old son Kai prepared for his first ever appearance at Old Trafford. Carrick travelled to Leigh Sports Village on Tuesday along with his coaching staff of Steve Holland‚ Jonathan Woodgate‚ Jonny Evans and Travis Binnion‚ to watch United's Under-21s defeat Sporting Lisbon 3-2 in the Premier League International Cup‚ a trip predecessor Ruben Amorim never made in his 14-month tenure.
Then and now: what has changed since the opening games?
LA Galaxy are among the clubs who have shown interest in Manchester United midfielder Casemiro. The Brazilian has brought forward an announcement to bring down the curtain on his Old Trafford career and many at United anticipate he is close to reaching a pre-contract agreement with his next club. The 33-year-old has had interest from Saudi Arabia‚ Brazil and the MLS.
THE HONEST ONE! Mourinho aims subtle dig at Man Utd after Carrick appointment as ex-Red Devils boss makes feelings clear on Old Trafford hierarchy
Man Utd duo told they ‘have no future at the club' as ‘symbols of what has gone wrong' at Old Trafford
Manchester United has tumbled out of the top five of football's rich list amid a shortened season without European competition‚ in yet another blow to the Ineos era at Old Trafford. In the 29 years that Deloitte has compiled its annual Football Money League standings‚ Man United has been a fixture in among the richest clubs in international football‚ and frequently an industry leader due to the team's success on the pitch and global fanbase. But in the thick of a torrid period on the pitch under former manager Ruben Amorim‚ United this year sit are ranked as low as eighth - and trailing table-toppers Real Madrid by over £300m.
JACK GAUGHAN: Manchester City's players will refund all travelling supporters who attended the abject Champions League defeat at Bodo/Glimt. Erling Haaland labelled the performance 'embarrassing' as the Norwegian minnows ran out 3-1 winners‚ with Rodri sent off for two bookings in under a minute in the second half. The display came four days after comfortably losing the Manchester derby at Old Trafford‚ with City having won just two of their last seven games in all competitions.
"IT'S PERSONAL!" Ferdinand calls out former Man Utd team-mates as bitter row between legends and Old Trafford star continues
IAN LADYMAN: The day you take criticism of your performances so personally that you seek validation through conversation is the day you may wish to reassess your priorities and focus as an athlete. As we have detailed on Daily Mail Sport before‚ criticism from ex-players tends to land pretty heavily in the home dressing room at Old Trafford. 'It p****s them off‚' a United source told me recently. In terms of the Class of 92 and others such as Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney‚ it is understood that they are comfortable with what they say.
Former United midfielder Michael Carrickis in interim charge until the end of the season at Old Trafford‚ and oversaw a 2-0 win over rivals Manchester City in the local derby at the weekend. Come the end of the campaign‚ however‚ the Red Devils will move to make a permanent appointment‚ with it currently up in the air who they will choose to replace Carrick and‚ ultimately‚ Ruben Amorim. Carragher was presented with 25 names on the latest episode of Sky Sports' Monday Night Football‚ broken down into international managers‚ those available‚ and those currently at a club.
Martinez hit back at comments by Scholes and Butt mocking his size made prior to the Manchester derby‚ and dared the former Manchester United duo to repeat them to his face. Scholes and Butt joked on their podcast ahead of United's win in the Old Trafford tie that Martinez's battle with Erling Haaland was such a mismatch that the 6ft 5in Manchester City striker would pick up the 5ft 9in United defender and throw him in the back of the net.
In the aftermath of an uplifting Manchester derby win‚ Michael Carrick addressed his players in the home dressing-room at Old Trafford and spoke with what was described as calm authority.The message to them was simple‚ and one he would repeat in front of the cameras.
IAN LADYMAN: This was a thunderingly competitive derby at times‚ a game of intensity‚ feeling and occasional spite. On the TV gantry and in the podcast studios‚ the coterie of former Manchester United players who have been central to the news agenda recently must have loved it. 'It's a daarby.' Former United captain Roy Keane likes to say‚ the Irish accent deepening in direct parallel to his habitual disapproval of most of what he watches at Old Trafford. Well this one looked like one and felt like one. Keane would have been at home in it.
OLIVER HOLT AT OLD TRAFFORD: There have been a number of false dawns at Manchester United over the last 13 years‚ a number of occasions when it felt as if the cloying‚ demeaning‚ desperate purgatory of the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era might finally be drawing to a close. The night when they won the Europa League under Jose Mourinho in Stockholm in 2017 was one of those moments. The night at the Parc des Princes in March 2019 when they overturned a first-leg deficit to beat PSG in the Champions League Round of 16 was another. Maybe this will just be another of them. Maybe this afternoon of glorious pandemonium at Old Trafford and the giving of thanks for a magical 90 minutes in which United played Manchester City‚ their tormentors for much of the last decade‚ off the park will be a prelude to more misery.
Roy Keane delivered another passionate rant about Man United ahead of the Manchester derby on Saturday‚ insisting his former club's decision-making of late has been 'a bit of a circus act'. United‚ who sacked Ruben Amorim after the team's disappointing draw at Elland Road earlier this month‚ handed the reins to caretaker boss Darren Fletcher before hiring Michael Carrick as an interim head coach until the end of the season. Carrick‚ who takes charge of United for the first time against rivals Manchester City on Saturday‚ arrived at Old Trafford with a coaching team made up of former England No 2 Steve Holland‚ his old Middlesbrough colleague Jonathan Woodgate and ex-Red Devils star Jonny Evans.

Hojlund‚ 22‚ joined Serie A giants Napoli on loan last September‚ with a conditional obligation to buy for around £38million‚ after being told he was not part of Amorim's plans at Man United. The Denmark international had been brought to United under Erik Ten Hag for £72million in 2023 after impressing with Italian side Atalanta‚ but struggled to hit those heights at Old Trafford and scored just four Premier League goals last season.
Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes have invited criticism from sections of the Manchester United fanbase after the pair mocked Lisandro Martinez's ability to deal with Erling Haaland ahead of this weekend's Manchester derby. The former United midfielders were speaking on The Good‚ The Bad & The Football podcast as they discussed United's chances against Manchester City‚ who visit Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon. Comedian and United supporter Paddy McGuinness suggested the team could benefit from a bounce under Michael Carrick‚ saying: 'You know that new manager lift? I can see United beating City.'
