Roy Keane when asked if he would give Michael Carrick the Man Utd job:
"No. I think there's better options out there. I think the games where he's come in - there's been no jeopardy. Three weeks to prepare for the matches.
If Carrick would have been mentioned three months ago, you would have been locked up. It was a good time for him to go in, and he's done a good job. But I think there's far better options out there to be the manager of Man Utd. Simple as that.
Man Utd will have to go out and interview people, and see what's out there."

🚨🗣️ Gary Neville: “United need TWO central midfield players in the summer. They have rebuilt the forward line in August.
“I think to be fair, Mainoo and Casemiro are doing a GREAT job right now for Carrick.
“However, every United fan in the stadium KNOWS that is going to be nowhere near enough when they start playing in the Champions League next season which I think is more than likely they will”. #MUFC [Sky]

On the international stage, Romero became Argentina’s most capped goalkeeper, representing La Albiceleste 96 times. He featured at both the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups, where his penalty shootout heroics helped send Argentina to the final in Brazil.
Romero concluded his 20-year professional career back in his homeland with spells at Boca Juniors and Argentinos Juniors.
Wishing you all the best in your retirement, Chiquito 👏🧤

Carrick on away form: "It’s just form and results, whether it’s home or away, it’s something we look at too much, it’s the next game. We’ve had some good results at home, that doesn’t mean that it is fixed, and we can move on to something else. It’s been nice to win at home and play at Old Trafford with a real feeling of confidence, and for the supporters to feel that. But we’re not having a major difference in preparation or mindset. We’re not really separating one game from the next."
Carrick on Mainoo: “He can always improve on a lot of things, that’s the age he's at just for starters."
"There's so much more to come and develop, and that's just natural, that's not a negative on Kobbie, that's just the stage he's in in his career, so hopefully he has got a lot of layers to improve and keep developing on that.
"I think he's done really well. Not having a lot of football for a period of time to come in and play a run of games and find your rhythm. I think he did that really quickly, and there's a natural kind of flow, really, and I thought he was really good again on the weekend.
"Putting in a performance where he did a little bit of everything and controlled the game and spells when he had to defend, and it was really impressive." #mufc

Michael Carrick on set-pieces: “It's good that we've had success with it. It's a little bit on the coaching staff, certainly Jonny [Evans], with his ideas and how it works with the players. To work with them is important, what suits them and what they like.
We've got certain players who are proven really, in terms of Bruno's delivery, Case and Harry [Maguire], in the way they attack the ball, as well as others.
I think it's important it's a kind of mixed decision, if you like, and what works for everyone because they've got to do it.
Jonny works with that quite closely and we've had good success, so hopefully that continues.”
