Look, we all know what’s going on here, don’t we Reds? Another dodgy result, another shot of Omar Berrada looking pensive in the directors’ box, and suddenly the vultures are circling around Michael Carrick’s head. Four months into the job and the knives are already out. It’s absolutely maddening.

Here’s the brutal truth that nobody at Old Trafford seems willing to face: sacking Carrick solves absolutely nothing. Zero. The problems at this club run far deeper than whoever’s stood in the technical area on matchday. We’ve churned through Mourinho, Ole, ten Hag and Amorim already. How many more heads need to roll before someone upstairs finally looks in the mirror?

The Guardian’s spot on here. Berrada was brought in from City to sort out the commercial side and oversee football operations, yet he’s presided over the same cycle of hire, panic, fire that’s plagued us for over a decade. He hired Carrick in May after Amorim’s departure. He was involved in bringing back some of the previous regime’s appointments too. And now what, we’re meant to believe the next bloke will magically fix everything?

It’s elite-level incompetence alright, but it’s not coming from the touchline. It’s the consequence-free bubble at boardroom level that’s killing us. INEOS and Sir Jim promised a new era of competence and stability. Jason Wilcox and Berrada were supposed to bring structure and long-term thinking. Instead, we’re watching the same old United merry-go-round spin faster.

Give Carrick time. He knows the club, he’s got decent players like Bruno, Cunha, Mbeumo and Šeško to work with. Sacking him now just restarts the whole circus again. For once, just once, can we try something different and actually back our Head Coach properly?
