INEOS hierarchy makes a mockery of their ‘best in class’ claims as Michael Carrick’s future hangs in the balance

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick took training on Tuesday despite widespread reports that he is facing dismissal. Club hierarchy, including Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Omar Berrada, and Jason Wilcox, are scheduled to meet in Monaco on Wednesday to discuss his future. Manchester United currently sits 18th in the Premier League following a 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth, marking their first relegation-zone placement this late in a campaign since 1986.

Writer Joe Ryan strongly criticizes INEOS, arguing that their treatment of the club legend is disrespectful and contradicts their "best in class" claims. With Mauricio Pochettino reportedly considered a leading candidate, the writer contends that Carrick was denied sufficient summer backing and has been unfairly left in limbo while awaiting formal notification of his expected departure.
