# Wrong Football, Mate!

Listen, Reds, I know we’re all buzzing about the 2026/27 season ahead and what Michael Carrick has in store for us after that brilliant end to last season, but this Cherry-Evans story? Not our world, is it?

Some rugby league legend is heading to Hull FC in the Super League, which is fantastic for him and the rugby codes, but we’ve got far bigger fish to fry at Old Trafford. While Daly Cherry-Evans is making “connections feel right” at a rugby club, we should be focused on the connections our lads are building on the pitch.

Speaking of connections, let’s talk about what actually matters to us: Carrick’s settling into his permanent role after that sensational run that saw us finish third and secure Champions League football. Eleven wins from sixteen matches as interim boss, victories over City, Arsenal, and Liverpool. That’s the kind of form that gets you a contract through 2028, and rightly so!

Our squad is looking tasty with the additions of Benjamin Šeško, Bryan Mbeumo, and Matheus Cunha giving us serious firepower up front alongside Rashy and Amad. Bruno Fernandes pulling the strings in midfield with the energy of Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte behind him. De Ligt and Martínez marshalling the defence with young Leny Yoro developing beautifully.

Pre-season is underway, and the Champions League group stages are waiting for us. That’s where our focus needs to be. Rugby league moves are all well and good, but there’s only one kind of football that matters at Old Trafford.

Come on, United! Let’s make this Champions League campaign one to remember. Glory, glory Man United!
