I mean, obviously, it's only two games, we know that, but it's two games against Man City and Arsenal.
So Ruben Amrim must look at himself thinking, I was so stubborn, I was so inflexible, my coaches have worked good enough.
Oh, does he?
But abandon the system and go back to be pragmatic.
Is that guy going to get his hair cut, do you think?
Are we getting to five wins?
Is that fan finally going to get his hair cut?
It seems that way, doesn't it?
Yeah, I think there's obviously a chance.
I mean, it'd be foolish of United not to consider him because if he starts with wins against the two best teams in the country, you know, Pep Guardiola said on Friday that Arsenal are the best team in the world and they've gone there and won, so...
You have to consider him.
I think what United have to avoid as well is that just because it didn't work out with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the end.
He did get into a runner's up spot in the Premier League one year.
It didn't work out with Ole but you can't say well it didn't work out for him so it won't work out for Michael Carrick.
They're completely different characters.
you know, Oli didn't really have the coaching staff that Michael Carrick's brought in.
I remember at the time, I think it was Oli's last season, the club had basically gone to Oli and said, look, we will bring you any coach you want to boost your team.
And he said, no, no, I've got the best coaching staff in the world, you know, in Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna.
Good coaches they are, but they weren't experienced.
But Michael Carrick's addressed that, so that shows he's a different character.
