Ok, that gels with the BBC saying it was family. The father sounds like one of those a-hole parents who can make their sporting kids life a misery.

So yeah, poor kid indeed.

Yep.

Probably sees the fame and money in his kid that he dreamed of having duirng his own career.
 
the problem with all of that is the kids age - he is still only 15 - and for the Champions league he will only reach the required age allowed to play in the Champions League around the time of the next game so throwing his toys out of the pram right now is a transparent excuse that he is just a mercenary ar5ehole, and he seems to think that everyone else won't cotton onto this fact

you are only allowed to sign professional contracts at 18 and United have already had a few bigheaded entitled cants going through their academy - the last one was Garnacho and see what's happened to that tw@t now - he is no longer considered the second coming of Christiano Ronaldo but more like a pimple faced spotty youth still sucking his thumb who is actually a stranger to football pitch because the clubs he lands at are all making his shorts shine the bench

United have been though loads of teenage "next big things" who landed up being zero's instead of hero's because they were treated like they were too good when too young - Pogba, Rashford, and Frederico Macheda as well as Garnacho all come to mind as players who started off like a house on fire but who finished off worse than damp squibs in the long run of their actual career with one or two semi-spectacular years inbetween ..... and with this guys attitude he is heading there too but at Barca or Real Madrid the marketing machines will turn him into the next Mbappe even if he doesn't match the results and to be brutally honest - i'm still not yet convinced - the guy hasn't even played seriously in a real position in the senior side and everyone is already drawing conclusions about his potential ...... sounds exactly like Garnachos trajectory where everyone was touting him to be a mixture of Jesus Christ and Christiano Ronaldo but he turned out to be a lot of ar5e that clubs are regretting paying big fees for

only thing is with Garnacho we got revenge over Chelsea for them selling us Mason Mount when his career was more-or-less over - the guy (Mount) just cannot come back from his long term injury and Chelsea charged us big bucks for "in case he gets over those injury issues" well Garnacho still plays like a circus clown while we charged Chelsea the "in case his attitude comes right with another manager" fee so that was one useful thing he landed up doing for us ie got us some cash for utter dross

let this kid go and IMHO if Rashford still tries too hard with no results let him go too because his attitude was exactly a mirror of this kid but slightly a bit more discreet so the general matchgoing crowd was more on his side but all these socalled prodigy kids all land up just being entitled arses throughout their careers without ever understanding that they are only "legends in their own minds"

If it is any consolation its not the kid's fault his Instagram says Family comes first... so seems like the dad is dragging his name through the mud - pretty much like Adrian Raibot...
 
Underachieving dad syndrome, guy sees his son as a cash generating asset nothing more.
 
Dog sh*t defending, especially for Brighton's first. It is like everybody just stopped.

This has been a very concerning start to the season and it doesn't look good if you look at Carricks's track record. He had a barnstorming first season with Middlesborough, making the playoffs while playing attacking football, and then they got progressively worse in his 2nd and 3rd season, culminating in a mid-table finish before he left.

Lol just had to watch the highlights because I couldn't believe the score when I saw it this morning. Right about the first goal. But funniest part was Heaven's reaction after: not sure what he was on about because he was the one who completely lost his man. Reminds me of when we had Mustafi doing the same thing. 🤣
 
Here we go... 1 step forward with the removal of the dross and now 2 steps back... Carrick is worse with his tactics compared to Amorim... there I said it!

I touched on this when he first came in. He was found out at Championship level.

Post in thread 'Official Manchester United Supporters' Thread Part 5'

I was on Reddit and came across a question posed to Middlesbrough fans on the r/Championship sub. It was a moderator for the Manchester United sub asking about Carrick's 3-year tenure at Middlesbrough.

The takeaway is that he is extremely likable, but as his time with Middlesborugh went on they lost their attacking fizz, and Carrick became very rigid in how he set them up to play. By the 2nd and 3rd season, the opposition had figured out how to counter and shut Boro down and Carrick never tried to deviate away from his way, seeing them slip from a playoff team in his first season to a...
 
News that the team is not fit enough... Ole 2.0... exactly what's going on again... Lets sack the manager again and bring in another guy to only sack him at the end of the season because he got us relegated... Rinse and repeat

Wilcox and Omar needs to go first along with Glaineos....
