🗣 Jamie Carragher says that #MUFC have had a strategy shift this summer:
“I actually think United have changed their transfer strategy, and I think it's a HEALTHY change.
“For years, it felt like they were obsessed with signing the biggest names in football. Sometimes it felt like the signings were made because they kept the fans excited rather than because they were the right fit for the team.
“Now it looks DIFFERENT. They're bringing in players who suit what the manager wants and who fit into the system.
“That's how SUCCESSFUL teams recruit. It's not always about the biggest name, it's about the right player.”

🗣️ Andrey Santos: "I feel 𝗚𝗢𝗢𝗗. I am at 𝗛𝗢𝗠𝗘 here now. Everyone welcomed me warmly from the very first day. I am 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗬 to be here."
🗣 Luis Enrique: “The biggest compliment I can give Michael Carrick right now is that you can clearly see what Manchester United are trying to do. There is a clear idea, a clear identity, and the technical level of the team looks higher than it has been for a long time.”
“They played tidy, free-flowing football with a lot of intensity and pressing. They made the game difficult for us and, honestly, we struggled. We may still have some players returning from holiday and not everyone is at their best physically yet, but Manchester United made things very uncomfortable for us. In the second half, we couldn’t even register a shot on target.”
“To be honest, I didn’t expect that level from Manchester United before the game. My opinion has completely changed after today. They have the players, the talent and now the structure to compete for the biggest trophies. Michael Carrick is doing a great job, and you can see the belief growing within the team.”
“If you ask me today who I would like to see WIN the Premier League, I would say Manchester United. They impressed me, and I wish Michael, his players and everyone at the club the very best for the season” 🙌
