West Ham 1-1 Man Utd: What Carrick said

West Ham 1-1 Man Utd: What Carrick said:

Manchester United interim head coach Michael Carrick, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It was a tough game, we expected that really. I don't think we were at our best in terms of sharpness and attacking side of the game. So sometimes you have to make the most of what the night throws at you.

"Credit to the boys for coming back again, it is a great trait to have in the team. There are positives to take from it, you can't win every game, we certainly didn't want to come away from here without a point.

"It is not surprising, that is what Ben has got in him. He is dangerous in and around the box. That's two really important goals for him - one to get a point and the other to get a win. Delighted for him.

"We have to give credit to West Ham, they defended well and closed spaces of. We just lacked that spark. I won't be too harsh on the boys, we will learn from tonight and come back strong."

Did you know?

Fabrizio Romano: Man United will be in the race to sign Bundesliga star

Manchester United Tracking RB Leipzig Talent Yan Diomande Ahead of Summer Window

Manchester United are advancing their intelligence gathering on RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande as preparations continue for the upcoming transfer window. Recruitment work is being led with Michael Carrick now in charge at Old Trafford, following the recent managerial change, and the club’s scouting department has added the Ivory Coast international to a list of emerging targets across Europe.

The 19 year old has produced a notable first Bundesliga campaign since arriving from Leganes last summer, committing his future to RB Leipzig until the end of the 2029/30 season. His performances have not gone unnoticed, with several elite sides across England, Germany and France keeping a close watch on his development.

Scouting Focus on Yan Diomande

Speaking publicly on his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano provided insight into the level of interest surrounding the winger and the current stage of discussions.

“I think it’s going to be an interesting summer for Yan Diomande.

“Because on Yan Diomande, the attention is really there. I will tell you more very soon, but I think Bayern will be there, Manchester United will be there, Tottenham will be there, Paris Saint-Germain could be there as well. So several clubs monitoring the player.

“At the moment, we are at the scouting level. So we are not at the bids, negotiations or talks. Just some conversations, following the player, monitoring the player. So it’s still early.

“But there is going to be plenty of movement around Yan Diomande, because for sure there is a lot of attention on the player. So, it’s going to be one to watch for sure in this summer window.”

Those remarks reflect the current reality. Manchester United have yet to progress into formal negotiations with RB Leipzig, and no offer has been tabled. Instead, the process remains rooted in detailed analysis of Diomande’s suitability for Carrick’s evolving squad profile.

Bundesliga Impact Driving Interest

Yan Diomande has made a strong impression during his debut season in Germany, recording seven goals and five assists across 19 appearances in all competitions. Operating primarily from wide areas, he has demonstrated acceleration, direct running and composure in the final third, attributes that have elevated his standing among Europe’s leading young attackers.

His development has continued on the international stage. During the Africa Cup of Nations, the teenager spent close to a month away from RB Leipzig, scoring once and contributing to Ivory Coast’s run to the quarter finals. That exposure has further increased visibility among Premier League recruitment teams, including Manchester United’s.

RB Leipzig remain in a strong contractual position, given the length of Diomande’s deal. Any prospective move would require significant investment and a willingness from the German club to engage. For now, indications suggest Leipzig are relaxed about the situation as the player continues his progression.

Summer Strategy at Old Trafford

Manchester United’s wider summer planning is expected to include reinforcement in midfield, particularly with Casemiro approaching the end of his contract. Even so, the club’s recruitment model continues to track high ceiling prospects such as Yan Diomande, ensuring optionality should market conditions shift.

The coming months are likely to bring greater clarity. Interest from Bayern Munich, Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain suggests competition will be strong if RB Leipzig open the door to negotiations. Until then, Manchester United’s approach remains measured, focused on due diligence and long term squad building under Carrick’s stewardship.

Jesse Lingard could play for former Manchester United star in surprise move

Jesse Lingard could play for former Manchester United star in surprise move:

Jesse Lingard has been lined up a sensational free transfer to Feyenoord to join up with former Manchester United star Robin van Persie.

The Daily Mail are reporting that the Dutch side are one of several clubs to make contract over recruiting the former England international.

Lingard’s last club was FC SeoulGetty

The 33-year-old has been a free agent since leaving FC Seoul at the start of January.

He is hoping to have his new club sorted by the end of the week.

But as well as Feyenoord, clubs in England, Italy and the Netherlands have also discussed dishing out a contract offer to Lingard.

One of those teams are his ex-loan team West Ham United, while Serie A team Genoa have also registered an interest.

But a move to Feyenoord to play under Van Persie would be an intriguing one.

The two never played with each other while at Old Trafford, but the former striker is looking for a way to boost his attacking options due to an injury suffered by his son, Shaqueel.

Lingard has bags of experience under his belt, and can play in numerous positions, so despite some lean years in his career, he could still be a great option for numerous teams looking for a boost outside of the transfer window.

Talking about it on-air on talkSPORT Breakfast, Gabby Agbonlahor shared his opinion.

Speaking with Alan Brazil, he said: “It is difficult when you are 33 and had two years in South Korea.

“I just think it was a strange decision [to go to FC Seoul]. And I am sure when he retires, he will look back and say, ‘Should I have went to Nottingham Forest? When I could have went back to West Ham.’

Lingard at West Ham during the 2020/21 season was a revelationGetty

“That was the decision he made wrong, and it’s hard to come from South Korea to come back to the Premier League.

“So, maybe, he needs to try a team like Feyenoord, where he’s not going to be getting a big contract.

“At 33, he should just go and enjoy his football because he would have made very good money, so good luck to him, but I am sure his time in a top league in England is gone.”

Lingard’s time at Forest wasn’t a successGetty

Sliding doors moment

After falling out of favour at Old Trafford, Lingard opted to make a loan move to West Ham during January 2021.

This was the Covid season, and it proved to be a remarkable transfer for the versatile attacker.

In 16 Premier League games, Lingard scored nine goals and grabbed five assists.

He proved to be exactly what David Moyes needed as the Irons stormed to a Europa League place.

But despite constant links back to West Ham, he didn’t make a permanent move there that summer.

Instead, he returned to play for Man United under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and then Ralf Rangnick.

But appearances across the season were few and far between before he left for free in the summer.

Again, the Hammers came calling, but he elected to join newly-promoted Nottingham Forest.

He was one of lots of players to arrive at the City Ground that summer, and as a result, game time was severely limited.

Lingard made 17 appearances in the Premier League, scoring no goals and not providing a single assist.

He was then released and headed to South Korea, so you have to think, things could have been so different had he just joined West Ham after that stunning loan spell.

Kai Rooney offered mega deal by Manchester United to continue dad Wayne’s Old Trafford legacy

Kai Rooney offered mega deal by Manchester United to continue dad Wayne’s Old Trafford legacy:

Kai Rooney has been offered a new bumper deal from Manchester United, talkSPORT understands.

The 16-year-old – son of United legend Wayne – has been part of the club’s academy since 2020 and has been heralded as a potential future star.

Kai is one of 14 teens to be offered new deals by Manchester United in the hope of becoming future Old Trafford stars.

However, Kai knows his emergence comes with the added pressure of following in the footsteps of his father who remains Manchester United’s all-time record goalscorer.

But he isn’t facing that challenge alone, with Jacey Carrick – son of United interim boss Michael – also among those to be offered a new deal.

Former United heroes Wayne and Michael were in attendance for an FA Youth Cup clash last month which saw Kai make his Old Trafford debut for the under-18s.

It comes after a string of fine performances in the academy that left coaches impressed.

Roo beauty

His output has now been rewarded with a formal one-year scholarship at the club.

Kai, who finished school this summer, will see his contract switch to a three-year deal upon completion of the scholarship.

And that would see the teenage star earn a tidy £50,000-a-year with an annual signing-on fee.

As it stands, the Rooney’s are yet to agree to the deal offered by Manchester United.

A source told The Sun: “The group is very strong and the majority of the boys including Kai and Jacey have been offered deals.

The youngster was able to get his first taste of Old Trafford last month in an FA Youth Cup tieGetty

“It means when they finish school they can go into full-time ‘football employment’ and then when they turn 17 are guaranteed a pro status.

“They still have a long way to go to make the grade, but they can be very proud that the club thinks they have a chance of making it.”

It is understood that Kai and Jacey received their deal prior to Carrick’s recent appointment as interim boss at Old Trafford.

The families of the 14 prospects have until July to decide whether they are to sign the deals or move on to another club.

Last month, Wayne spoke of his pride at seeing his son emulate him by running out at the Theatre of Dreams.

Kai was introduced as an extra-time substitute in the FA Youth Cup victory over Derby County.

Wayne’s pride

Discussing the moment on his BBC podcast The Wayne Rooney Show, the former England captain said: “Kai got moved up to the under-18s squad for the Youth Cup and it was great to see him come on.

“It brought back memories of when I played in the Youth Cup for Everton. It was a proud moment and I’m delighted for him.

“Hopefully he continues that and he can have a good run with the team.”

Wayne etched his name into United folklore during an unforgettable 13-year spell at the club.

He went on to score 253 goals for the club after moving to Old Trafford from Everton in 2004.

Wayne went on to win five Premier League titles, the Champions League, Europa League and the two domestic cup competitions during his time in Manchester.

He is England’s second-most capped player of all time, behind Peter Shilton and the Three Lions’ second-highest goalscorer having been overtaken by Harry Kane in March 2023.

‘Biggest one’ – Luke Shaw explains key reason Michael Carrick has been huge success

‘Biggest one’ – Luke Shaw explains key reason Michael Carrick has been huge success:

Luke Shaw has detailed the instant impact made by Michael Carrick as Manchester United made it four straight Premier League wins.

The England international hailed the influence of the Red Devils interim manager following the club’s 2-0 victory over Tottenham.

Shaw, who has started all of Man United’s 25 Premier League games this season, has reverted to his natural left-back position under Carrick.

The 30-year-old, who was playing as a left-sided centre-back in Ruben Amorim‘s era, was again influential as his side downed Spurs.

“Very positive,” Shaw told talkSPORT’s Sam Matterface at Old Trafford post-match. “Really happy, in the changing room, the mood’s really good.

“It’s not time for celebration. It’s time to keep focused, recover quickly and get ready for another massive game on Tuesday night.”

Carrick ‘knows exactly what’s needed to win’

Man United last recorded four straight top-flight wins in February 2024 under Erik ten Hag, having never done so with Amorim.

Carrick has already made a key change to the club’s training schedule since taking charge, but Shaw revealed his main improvements have been as a man-manager rather than through tactical work.

“He’s made lots of differences,” Shaw added.

“But for me, the biggest one is he knows the club, and he knows exactly what’s needed to win football matches, to make everyone happy and to enjoy what we’re doing.

“He’s, of course, won a lot when he was here as a player. So he understands the club, and I think that’s the biggest thing for me.

Shaw has played nearly every minute under CarrickGetty

“He knows how to get the best out of the players, and he’s really doing that,” Shaw continued.

“Of course, winning football matches is always going to make everyone feel better, and the confidence is at a real high.

“We can’t take our foot off the pedal. We just have to keep going and keep pushing each other.”

Shaw was then asked whether he was referring to embracing the culture of the club or restoring United’s traditional style of play.

The England international responded: “No, everything, it’s everything.

“Of course, the culture is extremely important, and day in, day out, how we are as a team, how the mentality is, how the focus is.

Shaw has hailed the instant impact of Man United’s new caretaker bossGetty

Man United showing ‘real togetherness’

“How we push each other day in day out, that’s one thing Carrick has brought it, and I think everyone’s just really enjoying themselves at the moment.

“You see how important not just the starting 11 are, it’s the ones that are coming off the bench as well, making an impact.

“Even when we score in the celebrations, it’s not just the players on the pitch. It’s the ones on the bench that are running around and celebrating, too. And I think that shows a real togetherness.

“And I think when we’re together like that, it’s a real strong bond, and we go out on the pitch and we all fight for each other and everyone’s really together, and of course it always helps.”
