Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has reportedly expressed disappointment over the club’s alleged consideration of dismissing Michael Carrick and appointing Mauricio Pochettino as his replacement.

In the reported interview, Ferguson questioned the club’s decision to consider parting ways with Carrick despite the progress he allegedly made last season. He pointed out that Carrick inherited a struggling team, restored confidence among the players, improved performances and guided Manchester United to a third-place finish.

Ferguson reportedly questioned why Carrick was suddenly being blamed after just 10 league matches, with United struggling and sitting 18th in the standings.

The legendary manager also suggested that some players should take responsibility for the club’s poor performances instead of allowing the manager to carry all the blame.

He reportedly singled out captain Bruno Fernandes and defender Lisandro Martínez, claiming their performances had not reached the standards expected at Manchester United.

Reflecting on his successful years at Old Trafford, Ferguson highlighted the importance of discipline, leadership, hunger and accountability, pointing to former United legends such as Roy Keane, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand.

Although he reportedly acknowledged Pochettino's managerial abilities, Ferguson questioned whether bringing in another coach would solve the club's deeper problems.

He warned that repeatedly changing managers without addressing issues within the playing squad would only create another cycle of disappointment.

Ferguson reportedly maintained that Carrick deserves recognition for his previous achievements, insisting that Manchester United must hold players accountable rather than continually sacrificing managers whenever results become disappointing.
