there have been some positives, mind<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gravy seals<\/p>\n
It\u2019s over four years since Cristiano Ronaldo tweeted about Michael Carrick after his last spell as caretaker manager. So of course in January of big 2026:<\/p>\n
Michael Carrick has Cristiano Ronaldo\u2019s seal of approval as he emerges as favourite for Man Utd interim manager job \u2013 The Sun.<\/p>\n
Cristiano Ronaldo\u2019s true feelings on Michael Carrick as next Man Utd manager decided today \u2013 Daily Express.<\/p>\n
Can you give your \u2018seal of approval\u2019 for an unforeseen set of circumstances over four years ahead of time? Just for sh*ts and giggles, we would love to see Ronaldo tweet that he has changed his mind, actually; Carrick was a bit sh*t at Middlesbrough.<\/p>\n

True colours\u2026shining through<\/p>\n
While the players still at Manchester United dealt with yet another defeat, Barcelona loanee Marcus Rashford was winning his first trophy (ish) away from the club.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s wonderful news for Rashford himself but also for the Mirror and their commitment to sh*thouse reporting.<\/p>\n
Marcus Rashford showed true colours in new footage after win over Real Madrid<\/p>\n
Ah, now we see what he is really like thanks to this \u2018new footage\u2019.<\/p>\n
Marcus Rashford claimed his first trophy with Barcelona on Sunday night but took time out to wander over to the Real Madrid bench to recognise his opponents.<\/p>\n
He only went and shook some hands, folks. More as we get it.<\/p>\n
But Mediawatch particularly liked this line\u2026<\/p>\n
Rashford\u2019s Sunday couldn\u2019t have been more different to that of his parent club, who were dumped out of the FA Cup by Brighton with their season\u2019s trophy ambitions all but over.<\/p>\n
All but? Is the Premier League title still a stretch target?<\/p>\n

Heaven\u2019s above<\/p>\n
This is some half-arsed nonsense from The Sun:<\/p>\n
MANCHESTER United starlet Ayden Heaven has moved into the former home of Sir Alex Ferguson \u2013 despite making just 17 first team appearances.<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old defender is risking the \u201chairdryer treatment\u201d from Sir Alex after renting out the Cheshire mansion he shared with Lady Cathy before her death in October 2023.<\/p>\n
Now this might well be true if Heaven was renting it from Sir Alex Ferguson, but we\u2019re not sure the \u201chairdryer treatment\u201d is appropriate for the mis-use of a house you used to own. One quick Google search would have told somebody at The Sun that Ferguson no longer owns the house.<\/p>\n
Which does rather the dilute the strength of The Sun\u2019s \u2018source\u2019\u2026<\/p>\n
A source said: \u201cAyden knows the house belongs to Sir Alex so will be on his best behaviour. The last thing he wants to do is upset United\u2019s greatest ever manager. He is a sensible lad and has his mum living with him too to help him focus on his football.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt just shows how much young footballers get paid that Angel can move into Fergie\u2019s old home having only made a handful of appearances.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully his United career is as successful as Fergie\u2019s was living in that house.\u201d<\/p>\n
Not Sir Alex\u2019s house. And he\u2019s not called Angel. It\u2019s almost like it\u2019s all absolute nonsense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United are dispensing with one interim manager and getting ready to appoint another who has the Ronaldo…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":366570,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[137174,218,448,348,349,3710,35432,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-366569","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-darren-fletcher","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-front-page","11":"tag-home-page","12":"tag-manchester-united","13":"tag-mediawatch","14":"tag-popular","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom","18":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/366569","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=366569"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/366569\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/366570"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=366569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=366569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=366569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
