Featured commentReality is that Dalot was the worst of a horrendous bunch. He was responsible for 2 goals. I know he doesn't pick the team, but he adds nothing. Amass should be playing, yes Dalot plays where he's told, but we have just had enough!

Featured commentDalot does a lot of running. But it's never in the right direction. Someone said he has the biggest amount of crosses (goal chances) in the league. Not 1 goal has come from it, so it's irrelevant. I will never feel sorry for him, he gets a fortune, and contributes nothing of worth. When clean sheets start, then my perception will change!

Featured commentDalot is only getting boo'ed by United fans because he is a liability. Whoever is telling him to play the role of left wingback needs to be sacked also. We are in a defensive crisis, and Dalot goes deserting his post all the time. It's no wonder Lammens hasn't kept a clean sheet all season, the whole defence is abysmal. Why Dalot at left back why not Amass?

Michael Carrick’s future at Old Trafford is hanging in the balance and it has been reported that a decision over the Manchester United manager’s role at the club could be determined this week. According to BBC Sport, Carrick took charge of United’s training session at the Carrington training complex on Tuesday, despite the mounting speculation over his managerial reign.
Mauricio Pochettino is one of several different options that United could explore as a replacement for Carrick this season. Ex-Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, former Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte and ex-Germany and Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann have been linked with a move to Old Trafford.
According to The Daily Telegraph, United would be required to trigger the release clause of Pochettino if Ineos sack Red Devils boss Carrick. It is believed that the United States national team would pocket a £7.44m payment for the former Chelsea and Tottenham manager’s release.
United would then be required to pay the additional expenses for bringing Pochettino to Old Trafford, including for the US boss’ coaching staff. Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s team would see further expenditure paid out to Carrick if the 45-year-old United legend is dismissed.
Carrick was appointed the permanent Man Utd head coach back in May and the former Red Devils and England midfielder inked a two-year contract with the club. According to TEAMtalk, Carrick’s contract with the Premier League club is believed to be worth £5m per year, which is around £96,000 per week.
If Carrick’s tenure did end at Old Trafford after only six months, then the former Middlesbrough manager could pocket around £2.9m from his United contract ending early. According to reporter Ben Jacobs on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, Sir Jim Ratcliffe will lead a meeting in Monaco on Wednesday and Carrick’s future at the Red Devils could be decided during the talks.
