Alan Shearer expresses shock at Manchester United's poor performance under Michael Carrick, following a 2-1 loss to Newcastle. Despite a decent run—six wins, one loss, and one draw—Man Utd's display against Newcastle was “very flat,” according to Shearer. He questions their quality, noting that aside from Bruno Fernandes, the team lacked attacking threat. Shearer remarks that while United sits third in the Premier League, their football has been subpar.
Meanwhile, reports reveal Carrick is no longer the leading candidate for the permanent manager role, with names like Roberto De Zerbi and Julian Nagelsmann emerging in discussions. Following the defeat, Paul Scholes criticizes Carrick’s tactics, drawing backlash from former teammate Patrice Evra. Shearer finds it surprising, stating that while performances may be lacking, results have been positive for Carrick's side.
