Tonali United TRANSFER Hint! Rashford SWAP Deal? Man Utd Transfer News

United.Well, it looks like it is still very much an opportunity for United because Fabrizio Romano has given us a big update on that as well.I'm still waiting for the stream to come through on my screen here.So hopefully, hopefully we are live here.

Let me know.Oh, yes, yes.We're there.We're there.We're there.Lovely stuff.

Hope you're all doing very well.I feel a little bit like I want to be closer, closer than that.

Yeah, that'll do.So what we're talking about on the show this morning, we're going to be talking about this big Fabrizio Romano update from about Tenali.We're going to be talking about Mason Mount saying that this team can win the Premier League.We're also going to be talking about Maynard's wages and whether they're too much, 150 grand a week.Rashford potentially being used as a swap deal.Palacios bid coming out of Germany, who is Palacios, some of you might not realise who he is, and a fascinating bit of of news around Michael Carrick's approach compared to Ruben Amerin.

And if we hit a couple of thousand likes, I might go and do a little bit of keepy -ups for you behind me.You might get a bit of that as well.

But how are we all doing this morning?I hope you're all doing very well.And 150k is kind of fire for Maynews, is Karthik.I think in relation to Maynews, I think in relation to Maynooth's wage, the club messed it up, is my opinion.£150 ,000 a week doesn't bother me too much, but ultimately we sat on his contract for two years when he wasn't really playing.Now he's playing well, he gets the contract he wants.

United could have got that a lot cheaper if they'd just agreed to deal with him before, but they sat on it themselves.So I think that's all on them really, isn't it?Anyway, let's start off with this story about Tenali.Good boost for Manchester United.I was actually falling asleep watching the football sewage last night.

Football Heritage, PSG against Bayern, football sewage.Arsenal against Atletico.It was a load of crap.

But during that, the highlight of it was the guy doing the sandwiches at half time and also probably my stream not working and also Romano's drop in relation to Tonali.So he says Sandro Tonali is not planning to return to Italy this summer.despite reports that he's ready to stay in the Premier League, Tonali is on top Premier League club shortlist and he's keen on staying in England at the highest level.

Movement soon about his future.Remember what I said to you a couple of days ago, I got told about keep an eye on Tonali and it will come out in the next week or so, literally comes out 48 hours later.

So yeah, very, very good news around that.I think that with regards to Tenali, it does go on to say as well that the big boost is that this Italian return isn't looking very likely.It goes on to say that Manchester United are waiting to understand how expensive Tenali's total package is going to be.They believe, as they did one year ago when they were interested in him, that it could be too expensive, so it could be complicated.A move to Italy is considered impossible.

He will be happy to stay in the Premier League." There's absolutely no chance of a move back to Serie A because of Newcastle's huge valuation of somewhere between £90m and £110m.He wants to stay at the top level and he's happy to stay in the Premier League.Both Man United and Man City are monitoring him closely.United showed interest last year but found him too expensive and they're still assessing whether to pursue a deal depending on Newcastle's demands.Arsenal have some interest but no active operation yet.

Tonali is set to be one of the summer's key signings and a player certainly to watch.which is what I said to you a couple of days ago.

It's almost like we have good info, isn't it?But look, I mean, Chiomini is difficult, but not impossible.Anderson is difficult, but not impossible.Tonali has to be in there with those three.I think Bruno Guimaraes is gone now.

I think you have to rule out Bruno Guimaraes because we're just not going to go there, are we?Ridiculously, because of age, but there we go.

So you've got Tonali, Anderson, Chiomini.There's not really an excuse for Manchester United to not get one of those three players.Now, obviously, you're not going to get two of them, and there is a possibility that we don't get any.But I think for where we want to be, and I'll keep saying this, the player we want to replace in Casemiro, I think that we have to get one of those deals done.And I think also, I was speaking to somebody yesterday, and we've spoken about it ourselves, are Manchester United trying not to do this deal because they're worried about the gambling, right?I think it's not necessarily a bad idea to say, well, you know, it's a lot of money to spend.

It's a gamble to spend a hundred million pounds on a player who might have a future gambling issue.But my answer to that is, well, why be so risk averse?Football is about taking risks.And it's not like We're, it's not like nobody wants Tenali and we're the only player, you know, sometimes you get a player that's caused trouble everywhere they've been.

And, you know, Sam Allardyce used to do this a lot at Bolton.He'll take a chance on them.And then, and that chance ends up, you know, being good.

We're not talking about Tenali that nobody wants.We're talking about Tenali that Newcastle would love to keep.We're talking about Tenali that Man City would like.We're talking about Tenali that Arsenal would like.So why Man United going, ooh, the gambling thing?I don't think that's actually a valid point at all.

I really, really don't.And I know some people do.And some people say, well, we have the gambling issue in the past.He's He nearly went to Arsenal.

Well, there was Arsenal interest in the January transfer window.I think Arsenal probably do need another midfielder, despite having Ryce and Zibamendi.

And I think that's where he'll end up going.And, you know, that'd be a very ambitious play by Arsenal.I mean, look, what I do not think is acceptable this summer is that Anderson goes to Man City, Tonali goes to Arsenal, Chiomini stays at Real Madrid, and we sign Baleba.

I think that is I think that would be criminal in many ways.As I say, I think United have got to get Tonali, Anderson or Chiamini.The only other player I would go for is Bruno Guimaraes, which we're not going to do.We've got to get one of those three players.But it is an encouraging update because it does mean that he is going to stay in the Premier League.So if you're tuning in a little bit late, where were you at 10 o 'clock?

But Romano basically saying that Tonali wants to stay at the top level in the Premier League next season.So he's going to be a Premier League player next year.Absolutely going to be a Premier League player next year.Real Madrid are not looking at Tonali.

They're looking at different players like Rodri and Enzo Fernandes.And the midfield market, I mean, look, let's add Enzo Fernandes in there.He's not athat we're going to go for, but he is a player that Man City or Real Madrid might go for.So it's another midfielder in the ring that we won't go for, but we'll leave a player that we want.Man City can't buy Enzo Fernandes, Tenali, Anderson.

They won't buy three.So there are enough midfielders in that, top quality midfielders for Man United to get one.

And as I say, Fabrizio Romano saying, keep an eye on Tonali for Manchester United and also saying that he'll stay in the Premier League.

So I think you've got to be all over that.If we get 2000 likes this morning, I will do some keep ups.

Yes.So yes, I'll have a go in the background.There should be a ball there.There to my left hand side.Is it?Maybe it's hidden.

I'm just waiting for it to come through.

um it'll come through on my screen in a minute there we go make sure you smash the like in the garden again hope you're all doing very well um still 10 10 a .m according to your graphic i don't know i don't know why we uh keep the time on actually I really don't.Anyway, we've got a couple of Super Chats coming in here.Daniel Thompson, as always, says, hope you're all doing well.Nice garden, really positive update about Tenali and it's a golden opportunity.We must do everything to get him.

It's like he's saying, come and get me.Don't waste 70 million on the labour you put towards Tenali.Thank you, Daniel.Good morning.And thank you very much for your Super Chat.And Planet Jupiter has given us a Super Chat this morning as well.

Conrad says, would you take, would you, I like this.Nice, nice cup of coffee.Sun on my back.Talking to you, good people.Maybe we should do this more often.Would you take Tenali and Warton, says Conrad.

I, would I take Tenali and Warton?I mean, I'd be happy with, I do, I think whateveryour combination is, we need three.It's not about greed, it's about need.Sorry, David Brent, it's not about greed, it's about need.It's not about greed, it's about need, because whatever your two are, let's say you get Tonali and Wharton, let's say you get Tonali and Anderson.

Next season, first two games of the season, Premier League, you start with Manu and Tonali and Anderson's on the bench.Then Mane gets a bit tired, so Anderson comes on, but Tonali says, I'm tired, who comes on?That's in your first two games, let alone injuries, drop a form and calendar.If you have three midfielders and you start two of them, you can only sub one of them.And if you get one injury, you can't sub any of them.So it's a numbers game.

It's not about, would you take three crap midfielders and two good midfielders?We need three midfielders.

it's absolutely nailed on.Shane says, good morning, Mark and the United stand.Love the back garden shows.Would you rather Anderson go to City and Tenali come to us, vice versa?Oh, I mean, look, we've got lots of news to get into, but it's a very good question.

I would say that I would say that would I would I take Tenali?So basically, one of Tenali and Anderson goes to us and one goes to them.I would take Tenali at Man United and they can have Anderson in the long term.It might be a bad decision, but in the short term, I think it's the right decision.We need a player for now.Man City can afford to take Anderson in and develop him because they will be in the Champions League next year.

We take Anderson in and it takes him a time to develop or he flops and we're not in Europe next year, we're in trouble.You take Tonali in, he'll hit the ground running, got a better chance of being in Europe next season.

I think United's, you know, nothing in life is ever, you know, obvious.And I think United need an element of short term and an element of long term.And my most essentialrequirement for next season is Champions League football.I'm almost at the point where I think next season is such a gamble on the manager, on the transfers, on what the league's going to be like, things out of our hand.We don't know how good Chelsea will be, Liverpool will be, Newcastle.

They could all bounce back next year and be better than us.So there's so many permutations for next season that I think that I'm almost at a point where if somebody said you can take fourth place next season and a good Champions League run, I take it.Now, some people would say that that's very low standards, but hold on a minute.The standards of the last 13 years for United, fourth place and a good run in the Champions League.Oh, well, we won the Carabao Cup in the past.We won the FA Cup in the past.

I think it's not about stability.It's about, it's not stability.It's progress.And I think progress next season is to be back in the Champions League and stay there and then build again.And I know that that's horrible in a way to say, well, don't want to win the Premier League.I mean, that's a dream.

That's a pipe dream.I saw Mason Mount in his interview today.It was making me laugh, actually.

I'll bring this in because it's topical.So Mason Mount's done an interview and he's basically said he wants Carrick to get the job.

What a bloody surprise.I mean, can I just say any player that wants Carrick to stay, can we just understand the modern football player?It's self -preservation.They want to come and have a sit in my garden and sit next to me and we can have a chat, Mason, you know, or any other player.There must be good Goldbridge interviews.There's plenty of space on the bench.

But it's a good idea for a show.Get Ricky down.But I think that the issue I have, that is a good idea for a show.

But the point I'm making is every Man United player that sits there and says, I want Michael Carrick to get the job.

I mean, it's self -preservation, isn't it?If you're at work tomorrow and you get interviewed about your boss, unless you've got something else lined up,what are you going to say?I don't think they're very good, actually.You're fired.It's self -preservation.

Ultimately, it's self -preservation.But he also went on to say that he wants to win the Premier League and he thinks we can with this group.He's talking out his arse.Occasionally, you do get good interviews with players, but most of the time, it's PR crap.Mason Mount says we can win the Premier League with this group.Mate, so now we're paying you a quarter of a million pounds a week to be a pundit, and not a very good pundit, because for three years he hardly ever bloody plays.

We pay him a million pounds a month, we paid 55 million pounds, he's hardly played for three years, and now we're paying him to be a crap pundit.Man United can win the Premier League with this group.I mean, there's a time and a place for it, mate, you know.Just keep your mouth shut and focus on playing football.That's what we pay you to do.And that's what we'd like you to do.

Because I think Mason Mount is a footballer, could still be quite useful for us if he can actually stay fit.I think that's the big problem there.Gabrielle says, I am watching you for years.You are the best.I'm visiting Old Trafford for the first time on Sunday from Cyprus.I wish I can celebrate a win.

I think you will be celebrating a win.I do.I think we will win on Sunday.Preview later on tonight.I think we'll be celebrating a win.I'm very confident that we are going to do Liverpool home and away.

for the first time since the 2015 -16 season.I appreciate you superchats that are coming in.Thank you so much.How are we doing for likes?I'm worried about my keep -ups.Where are we?

likes, so keep sharing the video and smash a like on the video.If we get 2 ,000 likes, I will do some keep -ups.Yesterday I went down the slide.

The labour is going to be fine at Man United, says G -Man.

It's OK.G -Man says the labour's going to be fine at Man United.We can all piss off and go and enjoy the summertime, because G -Man says the labour's going to be fine.I'll tell you what, G -Man, let's spend 90 on it.If you say it's going to be fine, in fact, let's spend a fucking hundred.Let's split the difference.

I mean, come on, come on.OK, a couple of bits I want to just bring in.I've got a very interesting bit I want to talk about in relation to Maynooth's wage, but also Carrick.I've got an interesting thing.There's an article in The Athletic this morning about Carrick, which actually adds nothing.

It's a bit of a slow sports news day, but if you haven't read any of that stuff, it's quite a good article.It just encompasses everything, style of play, what the players think, who's available.There's nothing we haven't discussed on a daily basis, but it was quite an interesting article because it spoke about style of play.And there was something in there that I just didn't, I wanted to know.I wanted to know, I have a theory with Carrick that he is very good in relation to getting results.But it is very, if I was on the board, we're back in the meeting room.

If I was on the board, I would say to Wilcox and Berrada and Sir Jim, I think these results have the trademarks and hallmarks of interim football.I think this is classic interim football, where you've got a manager who has come in, put his arm around all the players, focused on his senior players, and just chased results and he's bloody got them and it's brilliant and well done to him but I genuinely don't think there's much beyond these results and I don't think they're very sustainable.I also thinkwhen you look at it under Ruben Amirim, and I'm not saying we should have kept him, but you can't argue with this.

Under Ruben Amirim, we played possession football, high intensity, and were focused on scoring more goals.

Last summer, Wilcox & Co sold us.We were spending money this year on scoring more goals.

We needed to score more goals.

And in the last 13 games that Amirim had, He was averaging 2 .15 goals per game and Ahmad, Mbuemo and Kunja were playing well.We were averaging scoring in the Premier League 2 .15 goals per game in Amram's last 13 games and Ahmad, Mbuemo and Kunja were playing well.We weren't winning every week though.We weren't winning every week.We weren't.He didn't get the sack for that, by the way.

He got the sack for falling out with Wilcox.But under Ruben Amrian, there was definitely a focus on creating more chances, which we were, having more possession, which we were, and playing higher up the pitch, which we were.Unfortunately, we couldn't turn those goals and games into enough wins.We didn't win enough games.But the vision was getting the best out of our attackers, scoring more goals and playing high intensity football, which we were on the pathway to doing.I don't think anybody can deny with that, but the results weren't there.

Under Michael Carrick, we are averaging 1 .8 goals per game instead of 2 .15.In the last 13 games, we're averaging 1 .8 goals per game compared to 2 .15.So there's a distinctive drop off in the amount of goals we're scoring and the amount of chances we're creating.And whereas I think the previous manager was focused on attack, intensity, and chance creation.I think Carrick and his coaches are focused on results, sitting back, counterattacking.So what is the vision in the future?

These are stats.These are stats.We have dropped off on chance creation, we have dropped off on possession, and we have dropped off on goals scored per game.And as part of that, Mbemo, Kunya and Ahmad have dropped off as well.So what is the vision for next season?Because we are scoring goals, we're still nearly scoring two goals a game, 1 .8, But most of those goals are coming from set pieces and Bruno Fernandes.

Whereas under the previous manager, we were scoring more goals, creating more chances, and Ahmad and Birmo and Kunyu were playing better.And the emphasis was playing higher up the pitch and pressuring and scoring more chances, but we were conceding more.Whereas under Carrick, we're conceding less, we're sitting back with less possession and counterattacking.So my fear is that, you know, for all this Carrick propaganda, there's some very distinctive changes in what we're doing.I think at the start of the season, we wanted to score more goals and play more entertaining football and higher intensity football.At the end of the season, we're getting better results, but we're playing more defensive football and our attackers aren't doing as well.

And interestingly, under Ruben Amram this season, we scored four goals in the Premier League three times.Under Carrick, we haven't done it once.In Amram's last 13 games, he scored four goals three times.Under Carrick, in his last 13 games, we haven't done it once.We've got three, three times, but four no times.So look, I think that you have to say, look, I'm not in no way, shape or form.

Am I saying bring Amarin back or we shouldn't have sacked Amarin without that ship has sailed.

But what I am saying is there are some very distinctive facts.And most of the time, pro -Carrick people can only point at results.And that's all they can do.Definitely.

And it's interesting thatthe club's strategy in the summer was to buy attackers and make us more attacking, which we have done.And now, what I'm trying to say in a sentence is, the club's philosophy has changed.Don't blame Carrick, don't blame Amram.At the start of the season, we want to score more goals and we want to be more intense.And at the end of the season, we're happy to park the bus.

So, you know what I'm saying?Forget Carrick, forget Amram.forget arguing with each other, we're back in the boardroom again and saying, what are these Prats doing?At the start of the season, you told us the emphasis.I mean, I remember stuff coming out of the club about how this summer it's about buying players to score more goals.You know, they literally sort of came out and said, the midfield will be next year.

This year, it's about scoring more goals.That's why we bought Sesco.That's why we bought Embermo.That's why we bought Cunha.We've spent £200 million on making us score more goals.And that was the vision last season.

I think we can all agree with that.But now at the end of the season, we've sort of ripped that up and gone, well, we don't know whether we're about that anymore.Because we're not scoring as many goals.We're not creating as many chances.

So yeah, we are gonna definitely look at the midfield this summer.There's no doubt about it.But there's also no doubt that the vision that was sold to us has been changed.

But that's what the interim does.The interim gets you results.So will we go back to being more attacking next season?Well, it would have been nice to see that now, wouldn't it?Why can't we do that in the next few games?If I was Carrick, I'd be listening to these sort of stats and going, fucking hell, I'm getting exposed here.

I'm creating less chances.I'm scoring less goals.My forwards aren't doing very well.I am getting good results, but people are sort of scrutinizing me now.and going, I'm a bit of a part of the bus.I'll eat my vege, aren't I?

For the next four games, I'd be like front foot football, you know, front foot football.That's what I would do.But, you know, we'll have to wait and see.

Will the overlap deal get you player interviews, says Mike.I'm not talking about stuff like that, mate.You'll have to wait and see.Do you think it's scary?All I'd say is watch this space.

A little bit like I said about Tenali on Monday.Don't take your eyes off Tenali.Don't take your eyes off the United stand on the next few weeks.

Do you not think it's scary?Bruno had to tell the team before Brentford, we win every game.That's our mentality from now.So before they didn't want to do that, says Ellen.Oh, can I just applaud that?Absolutely brilliant.

Absolutely.I thought exactly the same thing.

You know, while somebody was, you know, you know, while some people were knocking one out to Bruno's chat about we have to, we win every game from now on.

I actually sat there.I wouldn't say I was angry.I just sat there going, what is this propaganda?Bruno's been here for years.Maguire's been here for years.Shaw's been here for years.

Deleuze's been here for years.Most of that team has been here for years.And now we're doing chats about we need to win every game from now on.What about the last few years?You didn't need to do it then.You didn't need to do it then.

I did think the same thing.Pritest says, hi Mark, my opinion, I was always Amram in.I felt his only letdown was he didn't adapt his formation, but he was building something.

We played attacking football.Our XG in shots was no more one.And you were saying it, says Pritest.Look, I don't, I actually personally don't really give a damn about the Amram stuff anymore.I would have kept him till the end of the season.I think we would have got Champions League football, but I don't actually have a massive, you know, he's done.

What I have a massive issue now with is what we do next.Wilcox will be responsible for breaking up that conversation.Of course he will.But the vision under Amerim, at least I understood it.The vision under Carrick, I don't understand it at the moment.And I think that is something that we would all agree with.

Wharton should be out of the Labour signing, says Cameron.I can't believe we've written off Wharton.I think it's a financial thing.

This whole Wharton's too similar to Maynew.I think the Labour's similar to Maynooth.I think the Labour's as similar to Maynooth as Wharton is to Maynooth, in the sense that they're not similar, none of them are.Um, thank you very much to Gabrielle.

Okay, let's have a look at what we're doing here because people are saying we're on a thousand likes at the moment.If you want some keep ups, give me 2000 likes.So if you've already liked it, share the video and if you haven't liked it, like the video and we might get there.

Um, okay, let me, Maynooth, can you talk about Maynooth's wages, Mark?I mean, I was going to talk about a Rashford swap deal, but there's plenty of time.So let's go with that.Um, I, So basically, Chris Wheeler in the Daily Mail put an article out last night saying that Maynard's wage is 150 grand a week.

And I thought, you know, I'll remember that for tomorrow morning because we've spoken about that quite a lot.And I think it's a very interesting topic because basically it feels like Maynard's contract has been discussed for about 18 months now.And some people were like, I wouldn't give him any more than 100k.There was rumors that he wanted 200k.Some people seem to think he's on 135k, but the Daily Mail and Chris Wheeler are saying it's 150k.

My stance on it is that you can't really argue about Meinu at 20 being on 150k.a week when he plays and starts for Man United and is in the England squad.I don't think you can massively argue about it.It might be slightly more than you'd like it to be.But two things for me.One, I'm not an accountant and I don't want to talk about wages and salary unless it's stupid.

So it's not hypocritical to say you're not interested in wages and salary and then moan about the labour for 70 million, because that's just stupid money.You know, if you want to give Luke Shaw 300 grand a week, that's stupid money.I'm not going to argue about marginals, you know, like Mbermo for 65 million.I think we probably paid 5, 10 million more than we should have done, but it's not worth arguing about.And Maynew at 150 grand a week, maybe it's 25 grand more than you'd want to pay, but it's not ridiculous.I mean, We're paying Mason Mount 250 grand a week.

End of conversation, you know?

You can't argue about Mainu at 20 being on 150 grand a week when he's starting for Man United every game and he's in the England squad.

You can't say that's too much money when Mason Mount's on 250 grand a week and for sitting on his arse being a crap pundit, you know, selling Man United track suits.I mean, Mason Mount's only worth is to do the latest kit release, isn't it?Because he hardly ever bloody plays.Luke Shaw's on more than Mainu.He's crap.Harry Maguire is still on more than Maynard and he's 33.

So I don't have a massive problem with it.And it's a big contract as well.It's a five year deal.It's 2031.So he's locked in to 150 grand a week till he's 25.And I'm sure there are targets in there.

But if Maynard becomes one of the best midfielders in Europe,we'll still be paying him 150 grand a week for the next two or three years, in which case he's cheap.So you've got to look at the length of the contract.You've got to look at the age of the player and you've got to look at the context in relation to everybody else.It is a little bit steep, but it's not massively steep.

So I'm not really bothered about it at all.I've seen a few people moaning about it, but there's other players at United on more than that.I mean, look, if he flops, it's a lot of money and you'll never sell him.

When you pay somebody 150 grand a week at 20 years of age, you're basically committing to them for the next five years.And if he flops, then that's an expensive flop.But we didn't pay anything for him.

He's come through the youth team.I don't see an issue with it at all.I really don't.I really don't.And actually, if you do see an issue with it, whose fault is it?Maynooth's agents have played the blinder.

They've played the long game.

They've refused to sign crappy contracts.And now that he's in the team and doing well, Man United need to get him to sign a contract.

And they're in the strong position, aren't they?Because there are clubs that would want him.United had an opportunity over the last two years when he was on 20 grand a week.

I mean, Man U's been on 25 grand a week for two years.Man U played in the Euros final in England.No, it wasn't.When was the Euros final?

Anyway, two years ago, the Euros final, he played it.It wasn't in England.

And he's been on 25 grand ever since.Man United could have got him after the Euros final and said, you've had a great debut season.You've played for England in the Euros final.There's 100 grand a week and a five year deal.And he probably would have signed it.Now they're paying 150 grand a week because they didn't do the contract.

So I think, you know, I think it's United's fault.Two years ago, he played in the Euros final and they've had him on 25 grand.a week.They could have got him on a cheaper contract.They negotiated for too long.Um, Patrick Lynch says, what is your rose wage?

A hundred K plus menu is a more established United player and older.You should be getting about 150 K. Thank you very much, Patrick for your super chat.And Shane says, if I have board, have a pair, they will appoint a manager like Emory signs and Ali, someone like stiller and Garner or Scott.Obviously that wouldn't happen.

So Shane B, uh, who is to say they did not have that speech before.I'm sure players will always play to win.

So Zach, We were 4 -1 for Champions League when Carrick came, says Robert McCormack.I don't disagree with you, Robert, but why were the odds...I do think...Okay, I'll take that, right, okay.Maybe we were 4 -1, but everything I've said is still true.We're scoring less goals per game, we're creating less chances per game, we're parking the bus, we've got less possession.

Carrick's possession average is now below 48%.Across 13 games, his average possession is below 48%.That's Thomas Frank.That's laughable.Below 50 % for a top four club is laughable.So all these things are still factual.

But the 4 -1 to be in the Champions League when Carrick came in, we were joint fifth.We were joint fifth when he came in.And fifth place is the Champions League.So why was he 4 -1?I don't really understand that.I don't really understand those odds.

Look, I've said it before.I'm absolutely convinced Ameren would have got Champions League football because I knew fifth place would get Champions League football.and Liverpool and Chelsea and Newcastle were shit in January.How are Villa still?You know, forget Man United for a moment.People laugh when I say I think we'd have got top five with Amriem.

How are Villa in the top five still?Their whole midfield missed three months.McGinn, Kamara and Tillerman got injured in January and didn't come back till April and they're still in the top five.So I'd love to know what Villa's points accumulation has been.since January.But anyway, look, we are where we are.

We are where we are.With Carrick, United will be out of Europe next year, says Neon.Well, not necessarily.That's the gamble, isn't it?You could play Carrick ball next year and still get top five, because if Newcastle, Chelsea, Liverpool and Villa, if three of them are bad, you'll be in the top five by default, won't you?

I tell you what, it's absolutely lovely today.It's so nice.I just feel like I'm going to lie on the grass at our livestream.

The Glazers want a premium for their United shares but won't pay a premium for top players.Reality Speaks Different says, we desperately need hypocrisy at its peak.Thank you very much, pal.Would you be third with Amrim right now, says Ryan.

I don't know that you could put us third.I'd definitely put us fourth or fifth.I'd say under Amrim, conservatively, fifth.What we need to remember is, though, we shouldn't have that argument.

We're in the Champions League.Carrick's done a really good job.We should celebrate that.And we shouldn't live in the past because we can't change the past.And it's not about Amrim or Carrick.It's about next season.

That's what it's about.We shouldn't compare Carrick to Amrim.I think a lot of people do this.They compare Carrick to Amrim.That's the past.It's about whether Carrick should get the job now.

And Amrim is not a competitor for that.So that's where I'm living.I would take Lewis Mraker and a left back and a midfielder than Carrick and five players.Without an experienced manager, we would never succeed.

Look, I'll take Emery, Iriola, Pochettino, Nagelsmann, Conte, Marco Silva.I'll take all those over Carrick.I've seen enough now.Results are very good, but stylistically, I don't like it.So there's a lot of managers I would take over Carrick because I'm worried about the drop -off in chances, the parking of the bus, the reliance on Bruno and Maguire and Casemiro, the amount of goals we're scoring.I think we are getting results playing crappy football, to be honest.

And I personally would call out people like Rio Ferdinand, Anderson, Mason Man, all these people who say that they want Carrick to get the job.I think it's because you like him and he's your mate.And I'm happy to have that conversation.You sit there doing interviews and stuff like that.One of you is a YouTuber.Let's have the conversation because I think you're just saying it because he's your mate.

And I get that.But you can't put performance in there when factually the performances aren't good.

Results, amazing, brilliant.He's got to be in the conversation.He's got to be interviewed.

But in those interviews, I'd be scrutinizing factually why the goals per game has gone down, why the chances per game has gone down, why we're parking the bus at Old Trafford.Why are we so reliant on Casimiro and Bruno and Maguire?All these things next season are a big red flag.Big red flag.How reliant do you think United are on Casimiro?A lot.

How reliant do you think they are on Bruno?A lot.Why doesn't a team just man Mark Bruno Fernandes?What are you going to do then?

Why doesn't a team just put a man on Mark Bruno Fernandes, actually?Spot on.The football has got worse and this is my fear, says Ray Carl Brown.Look, Ray, we're having a conversation here and it'sconversation, have I ever said, I don't like Michael Carrick?No.

I've never met him, but he's probably a nice guy.I think he's an incredible footballer, and he's probably an intelligent footballer, and he's probably an intelligent coach.I like Michael Carrick, and the results are brilliant.I've never said they're not.I like Michael Carrick, and the results are good.There's a reason to give him the job.

But we've been crap for 13 years, and I don't think we can afford to take a risk.I don't think we can afford to take an Arlegan and Solskjaer risk.And I'm not, you know, people say you can't, you can't ignore the results.You bloody well can.I bet Chelsea wish they'd ignored the results when Di Matteo won them the Champions League and the FA Cup, because it was a very costly mistake giving him the job.And as I keep saying, Chelsea were getting knocked out of the Champions League.

Chelsea were crap.He came in, he turned that tie around, he took them to the final, they won the final and they won the FA Cup.You know why they won the FA Cup and the Champions League?Because players like Drogba and John Terry and Frank Lampard, who were in their early 30s, got that team together and basically ran that team and got them results.And then the next season, it all went to shit.Well, hello, Terry, Drogba, Lampard, Casimiro, Bruno, Maguire, good results, interim.

I mean, the evidence is out there.Look, he might be the next Vincent Company.He might be the next Pep Guardiola.But he might be the next Di Matteo.He might be the next Dolly.And that is a fair conversation.

And you can disagree with it.I can't disagree with the people who say give him the job on results.And you can't disagree with me saying things behind results are quite concerning.It's a debate.We don't have to make the decision, but it's a debate.What about this story?

deal?Okay, okay.Loving the show this morning.7 ,000 legends watching, 1 ,400 likes.If you want the keep -ups, you better get liking and sharing the video.

Okay, I've got another good comment coming here.It was about, Glenn C says, we were joint fit, but every chance we had to get into the top five, we failed to do it and couldn't win two on the spin apart from once.Yeah, Glenn, fair point.You're sort of going backwards, aren't you?You are going backwards.And we need to look forwards.

And Anrim's not competing with Carrick for the job.So what are you saying?

You would give Carrick the job.Thoughts on Simon Jordan saying difference between Carrick's success and Rosinha's failure is Carrick has experience and support of Steve Holland.

Absolute horseshit, Asher.Yeah, absolute horseshit.The difference, you know, look, I don't mind Simon Jordan.He does talk horseshit, but he also talks sense.I don't mind some of his points.But The thing about opinions, it's a bit like arseholes.

Everyone's got one.And you know, Rosinha didn't fail at Chelsea because he didn't have Steve Holland.Michael Carrick has probably benefited from Steve Holland because he's taught him everything he knows from Southgate about parking the bus and just chasing results and not playing good football.So yeah, that's helped Carrick.But if you gave Steve Holland to Rosinha, he wouldn't have done any better because he hasn't got Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire, Casemiro.There's nobody over 25 at Chelsea.

They've got no experience.So it's not Steve Ollin's not the magic bullet.Absolutely not.done that one.Thank you very much about Euro's wage.A lot of people talking about Ange Postacoglu.

I don't know the context.Please tell me.If United finish third, do you think Ineos take Carex as Ryan?

I don't think it's about where we finish.I don't think it's about where we finish.I don't actually think winning more games should change the situation because Champions League football is the achievement.I think it's about how we play and how many chances we create and what style of football we play.I don't think it's about winning more games.It's about how you win those games.

I don't think they necessarily listen.It's just slow sports news, isn't it?I always feel like we talk about things and then three or four months later, it actually makes its way through to certain outlets.

United -Knicks, as I'm going to the Liverpool game on Sunday, I'm coming down from Aberdeen, the Fergie connection, if you know, you know, hope we win and guarantee Champions League football.

We're in the Champions League anyway, United -Knicks.I think we'll have Champions League football on Saturday night, because as long as Brighton don't beat Newcastle, They can't catch us because they're 12 points behind.Sorry, they're 11 points behind, but there's only 12 to play for, which means they've got to win every game.And I can't see Brighton winning at Newcastle.I really can't.

Rashford swap deal.OK, so Italy, Italian reports linking us to Liao again.And also we've been linked to another midfielder.

So let's summarise these.So Italian reports linking us to Liao again of AC Milan.Not for me.Bit inconsistent.Not the right sort of winger.I don't think we should be going for him.

But they're basically saying that there could be a bit of a swap deal there with Rashford going to AC Milan if it doesn't work out with Barcelona or Agathe going there because George Mendes is doing something there.I mean, look, the only interesting elements of that is that we've been linked to Liao again, but I don't see I don't see swap deals.swap deals are hard deals.If anyone can remember Mkhitaryan and Sanchez, they're hard deals to do because you're dealing with...If you buy one player, you've got one agent, you've got signing on fees, you've got wages, and then the deal's done.It's like buying a house when there's no chain in it.

It's the seller and the buyer, and that's difficult.But when you're in a chain, You've got another house and another house.So it doubles up the work.Swap deals.I mean, when was the last swap deal?They just don't happen that often.

Also, Palacios has been linked to us at Leverkusen.Now, Bundesliga bridge.I know all about the Bundesliga.Palacios is an Argentinian midfielder for Leverkusen.They've had an OK season.He's a decent midfielder.

I mean, he doesn't score goals, so he's definitely more of a defensive midfielder, but he's good on the ball.He can carry the ball.He is a good player, but Again, this is coming in from Bild in Germany that Man United are interested in him.He's a good player, but I don't think United will be looking at him because he's 27 and he's 28 in October.So I hope one day I'm going to be wrong about this, but I just do not.United have been comfortable with it being out there that they won't buy players over 26.

And it's stupid.It's absolutely stupid.And it's destroyed Chelsea.And they don't buy players over 23.So at least ours is 26 and it's allowed us to buy Cunha and Mbemo.But we haven't bought a player over 26 under Ineos yet.

And I don't think we're going to do it.And there's plenty of players out there, but I don't think we're going to do it.But Palacios is interesting.What I would say is I'd probably, if Palacios was available for under 40 million pounds, I'd probably take him over Beleba.But Scott, Garner, Tyler Adams.I'd probably take all of these players over him, to be honest.

So it's not even, it's not even a, it's not even a good signing as far as I'm concerned.Uh, Rashford for Ganacho back Markey, says Ryan.Yeah.You can, you made your bed.You better lie in it.We're not, we're not taking, uh, yeah, we're not, we're not, we're not taking Ganacho back.

We've done very good money out of that one.And, uh, yeah, we'll leave that.Um, we're not going to hit the, we're not going to hit the 2000 likes.

I'm not going to be doing kickups.You had your chance.The 7 ,000 people watching.Um, Liao Swap, Mainu, Amrim, we've done that one, Mount, Carrick, Tonali, Alassios.

Let's have a quick look at what else is going on.Ineos Al, always nice to see that.People forget, people forget.

We are back at two o 'clock, yes.I'm undecided whether I'm doing the Europa League, Forrest against Arsenal later.I think I might do.Scott Parker's left Burnley.I mean, what do they expect?

I do, I do, I do, I do, look, I do that's football.If you've not got involved with that's football, that's our other YouTube channel, General Football.

I do sometimes think about football and go, Scott Parker gets Burnley promoted, they get relegated and he gets sacked.And you sort of like go, but we all would have relegated Burnley the minute they were promoted.

I don't know, you know, maybe they look at Sunderland and Leeds and say we should have stayed up.but I think Sunderland and Leeds have got better players than Burnley.What else have we got going on?Ashley Young's announced his retirement from football.I genuinely thought he retired a couple of years ago.I certainly thought he retired in the summer.

I'm back at Border League on Monday.Yeah, looking forward to it.Hopefully we can get a bloody win.What did you think about Arsenal?Oh God, I've got a whole day ahead of me. I don't want to fall asleep.

Don't make me tired.Basketball Crazy says, my name is Damali, do you think Tonali is coming?

I think Tonali is the guy.I think Tonali is the guy, but whether United do it or not, I don't know.Look, the reality is, when you look at what Chelsea are doing, Chelsea are going to interview Iriola, Conte, Marco Silva, Xabi Alonso, and they're going to go and buy experienced players.So Chelsea have finally figured it out.

Manchester United, by the sounds of it, are still briefing that they can't get Tonali, they can't get Anderson, they can't get Ciamini, and there's no managers out there.So please tell me, how are Chelsea going to buy experienced players and interview four or five experienced coaches, but in the same league, in the same country, in the same sport?

Man United are making out, they can't get experienced players and there's no managers out there.

And that to me is incredible because we're in the same league, in the same sport, in the same country, and Chelsea are going to interview four or five experienced coaches and United are saying there's no one out there.And this is what I mean about our fan base.I keep seeing people, well, let's give it to Carrick because there's no one out.And I'm like, have you seen what Chelsea are doing?Have you seen what Real Madrid are doing?

They are football clubs going after experienced coaches.I mean, look, you can't just say it.If I was the Man United board, obviously you'd be moving heaven and earth to try and get Enrique, but it looks like he's going to stay at PSG.I think we messed up on Tuchel.

I don't understand how he signed a new contract to England.And I still think if England don't do very well in the World Cup, you could still get him.

You can't put a barrier on the World Cup, by the way.I was doing my schedule of watch -alongs for that's football and A lot of teams, unless they get to the semifinal and the final, will be out of the World Cup by the 10th of July.How long a holiday does a manager need?Your manager's going to be in by the end of July no matter what.

We shouldn't be ruling out managers who have been in the World Cup, is my point.

If I was Man United, I'm going after Pochettino, I'd still have a go at Tukul.I'd definitely try and get Emery, an interview with Iriola.I mean, that's five straight away, and I'm sure I could think of a few more.So I think there's plenty of people Man United can go for.I just think they're putting in their own parameters.It's like filters, isn't it?

You know, when you go on a, you know, if I want a shirt, this Ralph Lauren shirt, right?But I go, I don't just put Ralph Lauren shirts in.I go, I want Emery.100 % cotton, medium, lightweight, turquoise, short sleeve that can get delivered tomorrow.See, I'm not just getting a shirt anymore, am I?I'm going, I'm filtering it out, so there's probably no results.

And that's what United are doing.They're putting things in so there's zero results.You can't be somebody who's going to manage in the World Cup.You can't be somebody who's already got a job.And also, I think as well, I nearly copied and pasted it and printed it, right?In that athletic article, it said, how much cheaper will Carrick be than anybody else?

And I thought, oh, frame it, hang it in the Louvre, because he is cheap.We don't talk about it at all.Him and his coaching staff are cheap.And that might be, number one reason, how much money will Man United save by going with Michael Carrick?And welcome to Man United.

That might be a reason.Robert McCormack says I always thought Pochettino is the one.You know what, Robert?I don't mind Pochettino.I actually like listening to him.I watched the overlap thing this morning.

Every interview I like him.He's a likeable guy.He's got experience.He's got Premier League experience.He's got Champions League experience.He's got international football experience.

He's managed big clubs like Chelsea, Tottenham, PSG.He knows the Premier League, he's respected by the media, so there's been none of this outsider Amram and Ten Hag stuff.

I think Pochettino, and also he'll be out of the World Cup by the end of June.USA will not be in the World Cup in the middle of July.So, and also, people say they need a break.You know what's laughable about these World Cup managers, right, is, and nobody has said this, well you can't give it away

Cup manager because they need a holiday.Eight months of their year is a fucking holiday.They're only working for a month.They've had two months off before it.You know, if you are, if you are a manager like Enrique and you're also managing Spain, you're probably going to need a couple of weeks off because you've been managing PSG for two years and then you've got to manage Spain.But if you're an international coach, why do you need two weeks off after the World Cup?

You've literally had eight months of the year off.Poggetino will leave USA and come straight to Man United.So if USA are out of the World Cup in the first week of July, it'll be at Man United in the second week of July.And this is the bullshit that gets pumped out there by people.You can't take a manager from the World Cup.They don't need a holiday.

They don't need a holiday.You might give them a week, but they don't need a holiday.They'll just be straight in.It's madness.It really is.But I do like Poggetino, Robert, and it's interesting about Poggetino because I did in January, he just I remember saying in January, I've been told, keep an eye on Poggetino.

It'd be interesting if we go back.Lucas says, culture depends on people and owners.Managers come and go, but without the right vision and values from leadership, tasting success fades.Lasting success fades, says Lucas.

Thank you very much.We didn't quite hit 2 ,000 likes, but I'm going to have a go anyway.

I'll have a go.I just hope you...I don't know whether you can see the ball.I feel like...I don't know why we can't see the ball here.

Let me have a look.If you want to leave, you can.This is the bit where it goes a little bit astray.Haven't done any keep -ups for a couple of days as well, so might not be the best.Just want to have a look at my streaming here.I don't know why I can't see the ball.

I moved there.Okay, the ball's behind me there.So if I go and stand where that ball is and do some keep -ups.Here we go.

Oh, me back!

Find a bit of a hill.It's the hill, the gradient.I'm much better than that.I'm not happy with that.Worse.

It's on a hill.It's because it's on a hill.And the wind.50 keep -ups and Wilcox will interview wherever you want.

Definitely 51.I'll do 100 tomorrow.Definitely 51.

It's flat.I'm not used to doing it on a hill.52 apparently.That'll do.100 tomorrow.And we'll... 100 tomorrow.

If I don't do 100 tomorrow, I'm backing Carrick.There we go.

I have 5 minutes tomorrow on the morning stream.And if I don't get 100, I have to back Carrick and say, give Carrick the job.There we go.

Okay, we're back at two o 'clock.Thank you everybody for watching.Has that ball got stringer?That's me on a bad day, Robert.I'm not even happy with that.I'm way better than that.

Way better than that.There's a bit of a wind.It's a bit of a hill.

And I'm definitely better than that.

Okay, thank you, everybody, for watching.Fantastic show this morning, apart from the ball juggling skills.Anthony says 359 is my record.

I think my record's about 510.But not on a hill.with a bit of wind.It's been a few years since I did that.
