1
Yeah, it's the news we've been expecting and we can bring it to you now.
2
Michael Carrick has been sacked as the head coach of Manchester United.
3
Here we go.
4
News has just reached us.
5
Confirmation that we've been discussing right now.
6
We can actually go live to Carrington right now to our reporter, Peter Stevenson.
7
Peter, what can you tell us?
8
the news
9
that I guess the worst kept secret in football confirmed a few minutes ago with the announcement by United
10
that Michael Carrick has been dismissed as head coach of the club, he arrived this morning at quarter to eight looked very very
11
relaxed for a man who as we now know was making
12
his last drive in as head coach left here a few minutes Segosa only in today for two or three hours.
13
We know that
14
Director of Football, Jason Wilcox, has been in with him as well as Omar Barada, the Chief Executive.
15
Those were the three main personalities that we knew would have to come together after that meeting in Monte Carlo yesterday.
16
But clearly the review of the season carried out with Sir Jim Radcliffe yesterday has concluded
17
that things just simply had to change.
18
United obviously struggling in the bottom three.
19
30 goals conceded and just generally a really miserable first 10 games of the season.
20
And unfortunately for Michael Carrick, a really accomplished midfield player, but sadly not able to translate that into his managerial career so far.
21
And his time at Manchester United is over.
22
Peter, stay there for us.
23
Charlie, what's your reaction?
24
Obviously, we've been discussing it at Lemp already this morning, but what's your immediate reaction?
25
We're not surprised by it, of course.
26
You've got to feel sorry for my coach.
27
We've been spoken about since Sunday, the finalist was gone, that he's going to leave.
28
The way he's been dragged out is appalling, really.
29
He's left now.
30
He's come and done a fantastic job the second half of last season.
31
He got given the job, and I don't think he should have.
32
And then he's done this 10 games.
33
But has anything changed?
34
Notice these players.
35
I've got to pick up what Peter says.
36
30 goals they've conceded, right?
37
Let's not forget about the back four and defensive players they've got there.
38
They've had no change in that position other than when it was in 2022, other than the goalkeeper.
39
So the club have left Michael Carrick short.
40
They haven't helped him.
41
They haven't progressed him going into the Champions League.
42
So they've put him in this position as well.
43
I feel sorry for Michael Carrick.
44
I really do.
45
Yeah, look, let's see.
46
Hopefully Peter Stevens is still there with us listening.
47
Peter, look, what will happen now, Peter?
48
Obviously, Michael Carrick's now, the news has come out what will happen now
49
and how quickly are we expecting news of Mauricio Pochettino's arrival?
50
Well, my understanding of the situation was
51
that Michael Carrick was still the head coach up until a few minutes ago
52
and he was being kept on as head coach because until they had the Pochettino deal in the bag,
53
they couldn't really afford to let Carrick go.
54
There might have been a last minute change of heart, there might have been issues with the timing of Pochettino's arrival or the compensation being paid.
55
I guess what we have to assume now is
56
that all those issues have been ironed out and that the Pochettino deal has been signed and sealed.
57
Not announced as yet but they clearly wouldn't have let Carrick go unless they had that part of the arrangement all sorted.
58
That was how it was laid out at the start of the week
59
so no reason to suggest that has changed but the fact
60
that one head coach has departed now we imagine paves the way for a new head coach to arrive and it
61
It has to be towards the end of this week and bearing in mind what a huge start, a nice Sunday afternoon out at Anfield.
62
Yeah, it's going to be all eyes on that one as well.
63
Just to add as well, Peter, you mentioned the fact of Mauricio Potosino and staff coming in as well.
64
We understand Johnny Evans and Jonathan Woodgate are also expected to leave Manchester United alongside Michael Carrick.
65
Now, Charlie, we talked previously about the fact
66
that Mauricio Potosino always brings his backroom staff in and he's got his trusted core that travel around with him.
67
Is that inevitable that the coaching staff would also leave the club?
68
I think so.
69
I've got to be honest with you, James.
70
If they're part of Manchester United's culture bit, and a part of the manager,
71
them two have been put in that position because Michael Carrick brought them in there.
72
What would I be interested to see what happens with Steve Holland?
73
Will he stay at the football club in a different capacity, or will he move on?
74
But ultimately, Manchester United are at the bottom, and they need a completely fresh start,
75
They need a completely different mindset coming in and someone that's got the trust of...
76
I'd say the trust of the football club when it comes in.
77
He's got to be given the reins.
78
If them other two keep continuing to be in charge, then Man United are only going one way.
79
Yeah, I was going to say, do you think he will be given the reins, though?
80
Do you think he will be given...
81
The keys to Old Trafford, so to speak.
82
Almost like, right, there you go, Mauricio.
83
We need you to rescue us.
84
Whatever you need, we will do.
85
Instead of, say, a Michael Catt, which you could understand why.
86
Because for him, being back at Manchester United was a huge honour.
87
Loves that football club.
88
He was willing to do anything they wanted.
89
But by doing that, obviously, he let others control certain other aspects.
90
Well, Mauricio Poitino's not that guy, is he?
91
No, so he's got to be given the reins.
92
He's got the managerial experience.
93
Michael Carrick hasn't.
94
He's got to go in there.
95
He'll be saying, listen, I'll come and take that job
96
if you trust me and allow me to do things how I want to.
97
Man United have got nowhere else to turn because the powers
98
that be that are making decisions at the moment are not doing the right job for the club.
99
They're not bringing the right signs in.
100
They're not progressing the football club going forward.
101
So when Mitch Pocino comes into the football club, blank sheet of paper, there you go,
102
you're in full control because they've got nowhere else to turn.
103
They really haven't got nowhere else to turn.
104
And when you look at it in general, the only way they were going to attract a manager of that ilk or of that standard,
105
et cetera, is to be given the keys.
106
Charles, is the right man gone here?
107
With everything going on at that football club, is he the full guy?
108
100 % he's the full guy.
109
100 % he's the full guy.
110
But unfortunately, like I said, for him, how can he turn that down in the summer, right?
111
The opportunity to be a manager of Manchester United.
112
He can't.
113
He's played there.
114
He's a legend, all that kind of stuff.
115
But Man Utd's hierarchy is strong enough.
116
They don't give him the job.
117
And they go and appoint Pochettino if they wanted him in the summer.
118
He's the full guy.
119
The wrong person's gone.
120
And now you've really got to start looking at Jason Wilcox and Barada.
121
Are they doing enough for Manchester United?
122
Really, are they doing the best for Manchester United?
123
Absolutely not.
124
Look, Jeff's message said it's tragic how they've treated Carrick.
125
He deserves better.
126
It's such a shame.
127
The messages just keep coming.
128
He deserves so much more, says Jeff.
129
Let's just focus on Michael Carrick right now.
130
Look, he's held his head high.
131
His reputation will still be high.
132
What next for him?
133
Do you know what?
134
He leaves Manchester United and he had a tough job to do.
135
He wasn't backed in the summer with players coming in, let's be honest.
136
And, by the way, did an exceptional job at the back end of last year.
137
When he took over, I think the state Manchester United was in, when he took over, he got them back playing, the experience of the fans,
138
etc and that's
139
when they should have been brave enough to stop it in the summer not him the powers
140
that be but for him now he's conducted himself first class look you just see
141
that even though he's coming this morning he acknowledges the the media that's there we don't have
142
so many times we've just seen people looking out the other window not even acknowledge them
143
that that's that just shows kind of what kind of guy he is
144
so for me i feel like manchester i've really let him down i think he wants to
145
if i'm honest he'll go home pack his stuff
146
and get get away he's got to get away from the
147
noise he's been he's played for the biggest club in world football he's managed them
148
he needs to get away from the noise now he really does
149
because for the last five days it's been non -stop yeah look
150
this is uh Manchester United since Michael Carrick's appointment uh at the start of January
151
and their record is third I mean we know they've had a really disappointing campaign
152
this campaign but last season
153
when he joined towards to the end of the season Manchester
154
Manchester United has actually the best record out of all top five leagues in Europe, which is the remarkable job that he's done.
155
So, has he got a future in the Premier League, Michael Carrick?
156
Has he got a future in this management game?
157
The hard bit is you have to get rid of Manchester United a little bit
158
and think about what he's done at Middlesbrough.
159
It's all the learning curve and the way he's going.
160
It's if he wants to.
161
Manchester United might have just turned him away
162
and turned his face out ever being a manager again for I'm not being treated in that way.
163
The hard bit is the upside of what they did in the last six months last season was phenomenal
164
and they couldn't continue that this season.
165
But Man United didn't improve or help Michael Carrick at all in this season.
166
Right, we'll continue this chat and continue reflecting on the breaking news
167
that Manchester United have sacked Michael Carrick as their head coach.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
