Fabian Hurzeler would not be interested in leaving Brighton for #mufc [@alex_crook]

Bruno Fernandes: “At this club, there’s too much focus on what’s been done in the past, but we’re not those people anymore. The club and the players need to understand that. Unfortunately for us - especially when it comes to the players - those who join expect to win trophies, win games, and reach the highest level, but unfortunately, that's been very difficult at this club in recent years. That's the situation." [@SkySport]

Antonio Conte does not feature prominently in #mufc’s considerations. It is argued he would not fit into the structure the club is determined to adopt [@TeleFootball]

#mufc maintain they still support Michael Carrick. However, the shocking 4-1 defeat away to Como followed by criticism from United captain Bruno Fernandes, has piled pressure on Carrick.

Jamie Carragher on Bruno Fernandes questioning Michael Carrick's tactics: “For Bruno Fernandes to do that, it's a disgrace. When you think about last season, he got player of the year. That was on the back of Michael Carrick becoming the manager. He wouldn't have got that award without Carrick. Carrick put him back in his rightful position. And he then went on to have a fantastic season because he's a talented footballer. But when you think of him as a footballer, he's a talent. But in terms of attitude and the way he goes about things, it's not right at all. And he's reacted like that because he's been brought off." [@CBSSportsGolazo]

Both Michael Carrick and Jason Wilcox have been absolved of partial blame for the club's plight by some; • Carrick because he was let down badly in the summer transfer window. • Wilcox too, because he had to work to a budget set by those above him, including Omar Berrada [@sistoney67]

Eddie Howe is the favourite for the #mufc job. He is admired within Old Trafford, and Howe would be interested in the role as he wants to return to the PL as soon as possible [@reluctantnicko]

Michael Carrick: "If you don't run forward and you don't run back, you ain't going to win."
