0:45I think Ineos have to back him right now because he's put Ineos in the corner and said, you can't get rid of me. And like I said before, the only way you get rid of Michael Carrick right now after what he's done is if Luis Enrique leaves PSG and comes to Man United and knocks the door and says, guys, I want to manage Man United. He's the only person I do that for right now. Anyone else? There's too many question marks around them.

1:11Yes, guys, welcome to another episode of Real Presents, brought to you by our trusted partners, crafted Joel Baer, Steve Housel here with me as usual. And today, guys, we've got to start discussing the man, the Mr. Assists, the king of the assists, Bruno Fernandes equaling the Premier League assist record Michael Carrick is expected to sign a new two-year deal in the next 48 hours guys cannot wait for that to happen and well deserved by the way and we'll be reflecting also on the madness that's going on at Anfield Mo Salah just calling out his manager during the season sending shots just raw raw and I love it I love seeing what Mo Salah's doing he ain't having it players are going mad nowadays man him and Mbappe it's all going crazy in the world of football, man.

1:55But we have to reflect on the Casemiro content. Rio, I was saying before Steve came on, yeah, this is probably one of the biggest footballing interviews I've seen online. What the interview did show was there's a humility that he has that I think brings a huge amount of affection from the fan base. Not only for what he does as a footballer, but as a human being and the way that he's conducting himself. And I think, as I said, when you conduct yourself in the right way, these fans at Manchester United that Old Trafford will support you in a way that you've never felt before. Yeah, very loyal. Steve, what did you think of his standing ovation?

2:31It was coming, to be honest. The conversations I've been having all week with, you know, fellow United fans in various different places, literally in a shop, like walking down the street, people have been stopping us. The Casemiro interview has done an absolute madness and everyone said the same thing that we said. I mean, I was literally standing next to the cameraman as he's talking and I'm just going, what's shown through was the authenticity and the depth of his feeling for the club and the city and the fans. And I think someone like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, that 20 legend banner was up for a long, long time in Old Trafford.

3:07And the reason that that was up there wasn't because of his ability. It was because of his connection to the fans and it was because of how much he got it. And not every player gets it. Certainly not every player gets it to that level. But when you've got someone with the pedigree of Casemiro who genuinely could have come to Old Trafford for a payday. He doesn't do that. But he embeds himself in the fans. His little boy is a United fan. Like, think about how nuts that is. Like, he's really bought into this club, what it means to be at this club. And like I said to him on the day, there's very few that have honoured the shirt in the way that you have.

3:45Thank you. And the main thing, he put Carragher away as well. Oh, my goodness. Went viral with that one. Rio, what do you say to people who still think he's a waste of money? Because overall, he cost the club£148 million in terms of transfers, wages, etc. Yeah, listen, he has cost a hell of amount of money, but you're not going to get a player of that calibre on the cheap. Do you know what I mean? I think the fee, you could argue, was it a bit much with the lack of sell-on that he's going to have because of his age? Yeah, you could argue that. But Man Utd, the way that the hierarchy were running the club at that time, people were putting numbers in front of Man United and Man United were just going for it.

4:24So that was then. And I think looking back at that, I think it's not about the fee or what's been paid. I think it's more about the man. The man that came and the man that's left and the imprint that he's left on the football club, but also the imprint the football club left on him and his family. And I think that's one of the key things as well. He didn't just buy into this. And any player that travels and goes to a new country, it's absolute that their families need to buy into it. And his family did that. And the way he spoke about them, And again, not just Man United touching him, the fans touched his family, which has been like, again, you can see the emotion that came with when he was talking was probably one of the big reasons as to why the interview's done so well online.

5:02Yeah. I mean, reports are suggesting as well, though, that Michael Carrick is about to sign a two-year deal. Rio, Ineos, okay, if you're Ineos right about now, give me the reasons that you're backing your former teammate. mate. I think Ineos have to back him right now because he's put Ineos in the corner and said, you can't get rid of me. And like I said before, the only way you get rid of Michael Carrick right now after what he's done is if Luis Enrique leaves PSG and comes to Man United and knocks the door and says, guys, I want to manage Man United. He's the only person I do that for right now.

5:37Anyone else, there's too many question marks around him. What he's done is he's got us into Champions League is one thing. He's improved individual performances, got players playing to a level that we would assume that they should be playing at consistently. He's got fans believing again, right? And what he's done as well, which is I think a huge thing, he's taken players that were on their knees confidence-wise to a position now where they're in the tunnel and they're looking across and thinking you can't you you're not going to beat us today and I don't think that was ever the case for the last year or so even longer two years almost right under Amru there are more doubts than any belief in these players and just even for those couple of points alone he has to get the job and get the opportunity at his football club.

6:29Steve is the is the fan base still split on whether Carrick should be getting the job or not? No I think everyone kind of almost echoes what Real says which is if not him then who and it's it's not the strongest case for but it's a hell of a case for why not if you know what i mean like it it's i don't know how to explain it it's um it's it's not the strongest like here's all the evidence for why but it's almost like there's such a lack of evidence for anybody else that that means it points to to him being the logical one almost um i from my conversations with people online it's gonna vary wildly because that's online and it is what it is but my conversations with like normal united fans is basically not like jumping for joy about it but everyone's kind of going well he's doing the job he's proving it why not give him a chance like why not find out let's see what he can do because like rio said think about where this club has been the last 12 months 12 months ago we lost the final to Spurs and we finished 15th at Christmas we sacked our manager and today we came third in the Premier League how does that happen?

7:48I'll tell you how it happens, you appointed a guy that managed to turn the players around, simplify the game for them get them all believing in something again and he put the wins up which is the number one thing that we always talk about is it's a results-based business. He's getting the results. He's the best manager in the Premier League since he started. Like if we award a title since Michael Carrick was appointed, Michael Carrick's name's going on a trophy. Obviously it wouldn't work like that, but that would be how good he has done. And he's played everybody. So how can you dismiss what he's done?

8:22Do you know what as well? I think you should hear a lot of people saying that these are the reasons why I shouldn't. We haven't played great football or we haven't been consistent in the way that we've played and we've stumbled over a couple of results. That's football. And also, he's doing that with a team that he's dragging from the floor, by the way. So there is going to be stumbling blocks in that sense and nothing's going to be perfect at that point, right? And, oh, he's going to find it hard when he's got to play Champions League and there's more games in the calendar and he's only been playing once a week, so it's easy.

8:52Yeah, but he's earned the right to have a dig at that now. He's earned the right to go at the Champions League and play more games and then prove himself. And there's going to be people sitting there waiting going, I told you we couldn't do it. Well, that's not the point. The point is he's earned the right, give him the keys, and let him foul if he fouls and doesn't do well. He deserves the opportunity to sit there and have a stab at it. Does it worry you that he's kind of getting it through default, though? No. That's just the circumstances. It's not default. He's earned the right. He's got the wins on the board, like Steve says.

9:25if the League Cup was given out from when Michael Carrick took over to the end of the season now, he wins the league. So he's obviously done a really good job. We're not talking about five games there, are we? What is it, 17 games or something? No, no, he's played everybody as well. I mean, I want to ask you, Ria, could you describe Carrick's identity in terms of style and the way he wants the side to play? I don't think we've seen anything consistent to go, that's exactly it right now. I think he's still working a way towards that, but I do think he wants to play a bit of a swashbuckling style at times.

10:01He doesn't mind containing a team a little bit and then playing off the back foot at times, but I think he wants to be able to win a game in multiple ways. I don't think he's going to be one of those who's going to say, I'm like a pep or something, or this is the way we're playing, we're not going to deviate right now. I think he's going to be somebody who's a little bit more, right, let me assess the opposition and we'll adapt it accordingly. And I think that's sensible with the tools that he's got in his box at the moment. You're good at that. You're good at that. You're not good at that. So we're going to play to your strengths.

10:33And I think that's been very, very shrewd. Very smart. I mean, obviously he hasn't been popular with everyone, Steve. What do you reckon he needs to do to get pundits like Gary Neville or Roy Keane on his side? It's gone too far. Man United have got Because Rio's not doing commentary no more Manchester United have got no one who is Pro Manchester United Maybe Owen Hargreaves right But Roy Keane is not a United fan And he's just permanently pissed off with Manchester United Gary Neville I can't not say he's a United fan Because he clearly is but his commentary style Is negative anti-United Maybe Wayne Rooney is the only one and he's an Everton fan Like There's no one out there that gives you A pro United stance on it if everyone is anti-United.

11:17I'll tell you one thing, right? Michael Carrick will not give a shit about what Gary Neville or Roy Keane says. Like when he was a player, any comments, any negativity, good or bad comments, were like water off a duck's back. Just brushed it aside. He knew what he was good at, knew what he wanted to do and would just carry on with it. And I don't think he'd be any different as a manager. Bruno Fernandes. He's equaled the Premier League assist record. Sorry, Joel. before we get into that can I just shout out Joel for his interview with Bruno Fernandes when he picked up the trophy for the player of the year great interview by the way great interview thank you appreciate it not seeing it everywhere well played nah thank you man appreciate appreciate the support from you guys as well Rio and the team as well that Rio presents to thank you so much but yeah man Bruno Fernandes he's now equaled the Premier League assist record so Rio where does Bruno rank amongst the best creators in the Premier League that you've ever seen.

12:17Yeah, I think you've got to put him up there. I think he's... Do you know what I'd like to see? What's the stat on chances created that haven't been scored? I reckon he'd be right up there. He hasn't had an Andy Cole, Dwight York, Solskjaer, Rude Van Nistelroen, Teve. He hasn't had one of those guys. Berbatov, he hasn't had these guys. He's had, no disrespect, he's had guys that have been sub-par to that in front of him, right, for most of the time that he's been at Man United or players that are below their best, not in their prime. So imagine if he had a Haaland up top or an Aguero like Kevin De Bruyne had.

12:54His output would be even better. Against Forrest, right, in the game just gone, he's created eight chances in the one game and it resulted in one assist. That's what I'm saying. So how many games has he done that where he's creating a mad amount of chances and you're only getting one goal, sometimes no goals? So it kind of like... He's more than double the next person chance created in the league. It's mental. It's mental. I mean, listen, Thierry Henry and Kevin De Boehn are two of the best you've seen in that department, obviously. They had 20 assists in a season, right? And that record was...

13:25It's a hard record to get near. He's done that. And half of the season, if not more, he was playing as a holding midfielder. Can we just add that? There needs to be an asterisk on this, by the way, to just state that point. So in 10, 20 years, people see that point, because it's a massive point. because he's going up against a number eight stroke number 10 and a number and a center forward yeah i don't i don't think i've seen in in modern football like a player where everything just goes through him like that like i'm not comparing him to a name i'm not going over the top but there was a time when when name i played for brazil he played for yeah probably brazil everything was going through him everything was going through him and right now bruno is that guy it looks like the defenders can't do anything about either so yeah it's not easy man he's treating this like He's created, I've just seen a stat, he's created almost 250 more chances than Kevin De Bruyne since his debut in January 2020.

14:21That is a joke. He's dwarfing legends. What's impressed you more? His technical ability or his mentality? Mentality. Yeah, I think, yeah. You have to remember, I think it's a great point that, you know, the mentality. because I think if you put yourself in his shoes, he's playing in a sub-par, sub-standard Man United team. Yeah. And doing crazy numbers and knowing that he could probably go to 99 % of the other teams and play and have a chance to win trophies. And he's staying and doing that almost under duress, right? That is hard to do that, man. It's hard to do that. You know when you're in the school playground, right, and your team is the worst team and you're playing like, like around robbing five asides or something like that, right?

15:10And you're in a rubbish team. It's hard to keep your head in the game, isn't it? Most people give up and go, do you know what? I ain't having this. I'm going for dinner. I'm going for a break or something. Or I'm just going to throw the towel in. Like he's gone continuously every year. And even his numbers in terms of combining goals and assists, it's only Mohamed Salah with 193 goals and assists that betters Bruno's 141. Like he's done it on every level. That's mental, man. I mean, you know, how do you deal with playing behind him though? Like, you know, his style of play is risky football. He said it, even with the interview that I had with him, he says he doesn't mind losing the ball.

15:49You know, he said he doesn't really look at stats like that. You know, how do you play against someone like that, Rio? I put it, how do you play with someone like that? Because some people say, oh, I could never play with it. He's always giving it away. And I see a lot of people trying to hammer him, right? Casemiro was like, no, no. he gets it and he wants to play forward and hurt teams players that he plays with appreciate massively what he does because he's a difference maker you need someone like that in your team if you haven't got someone like him who's willing to take risks and get chances for your team or goals where are you going?

16:21where's the hope? he is where the hope lies within this Man United team when you're looking to create and get out of a boring nil-nil situation and defending against him from anywhere on the pitch, he's a threat. That's your problem. Right, man, we've got loads still to come right on this pub, but we'll be back shortly after this.

16:45Hey, Pablo Torre here. As a sports journalist, I've covered global sports for many years now. And there is one thing that I can promise you. Nothing compares to the World Cup. And this time it is even better thanks to McDonald's. You have the chance to take home one of nine legendary cups when you order the FIFA World Cup meal.

18:012008 Champions League finals Starting 11 You've got either Carrick and Hargreaves They'll do your running And they'll keep holding The ball for you And they'll let him play And you put him in for Scolese Or you put Scolese and Carrick in And you let them keep the ball And he can be the one That loses it And then front three Rooney Tevez Ronaldo I actually think He would have taken us To another level The runs that Ronaldo makes, the runs that Tevez makes, the runs that Rooney would make, he'd find them. Because Scholes at that point was a deep-lying playmaker, was a deep-lying he controlled the momentum of the game.

18:35Everything ran through him and that's him and Michael, right? But if you added him to that mix, creating chances from higher up the pitch, because at that point it was more like get the ball to Rooney, he'll create something for one of those, or Tevez or Ronaldo, just create something for themselves or for one of the other two. It was just like a ridiculous combination that they had. But if you added him to that mix again, Jesus, I don't know what we could have done, you know. Does that, you see your barren period that the club's gone through, does it make it even more outstanding? Yeah. Of course it does.

19:15Of course it does. This is the modern era of Brian Robson. The one that, when he's 34, 35 year old we're all going to be crying if we lift the Premier League and he finally gets his hands on that trophy when he's carried the club like Brian Robson did for by that time it's going to be like a decade or something like he's came here he's given us the best years of his career he's absolutely more than over delivered on every single promise that he implied to us he stayed when he's had life changing generational amounts of money banged on the table from Saudi and he's gone on and he's equaled the record but we still have 90 minutes to play there's not going to need to be an asterisk because I think he's getting at least one against Brighton and he's going to stand alone as the best individual assist creating season the Premier League has ever had without even a decent forward line Crazy, crazy Rio here's one for you, do you reckon he's disrespected when they put him in comparisons with De Bruyne and Henry you know some people you can see they don't like it do you reckon there's a disrespect there um yeah but i get i get why i think the opposing fans are going to say oh that's on remand on one of the greatest if not the greatest premier league player de bruyne has won trophy countless trophies with man city and and done ridiculous things as well so and and they've had their career like kevin de bruyne has basically almost finished he's gone to napoli right but but bruno still playing and it always happens that while you still play you probably never get the flowers you deserve.

20:46But when he's gone, when it's all said and done, especially when, like I said, when you look at what Thierry Henry and what Kevin De Bruyne had to play with, the players, the difference in levels of players that they played with who are getting on the end of their chances, it's a massive, massive difference. Because Man United, on the end of the chances that Bruno had, he's a very different level of player. No disrespect to what those guys had. When you're talking De Bruyne is playing the ball into people like Aguero or Haaland and them guys, you know what I mean like it's crazy no it's true I mean I apologize to him you know I'm not gonna lie I said I'm sorry listen go check it out on my channel I apologize I was a man about it when I'm wrong I'm wrong I always say it but yeah well done to him shout out to him Chelsea now moments after they lost the FA Cup final they were on that PR run Rio they announced Xabi Alonso as their new manager on a four year contract is he the man to turn that club around because it has been an absolute mess.

21:49Do you know what? I'm actually surprised he's gone there, right? I'm not saying he's the wrong choice. Same. The reason I'm surprised that he's gone there is because I thought he would have been patient enough to wait and see how the Arnaud slot at Liverpool situation would play out. Ex-Liverpool player, loved the club, always speaks well about the club and you just think that was like a relationship waiting to happen behind the scenes. if he just sat tight the way things are going at the moment the way things are unfolding at Liverpool surely he's next in the queue to get that job but Chelsea have acted quickly they've probably put something in front of him especially with some big numbers as well that's turned his head and he just thought oh I'm going to go for it or he just thought you know what I can't sit and hope and wait and be guessing about what's going to happen in Liverpool if this opportunity like this is here it's a big club Chelsea so go for it so I'm looking forward to seeing what he's doing I like seeing young managers get in these roles and get an opportunity because I think it's nice to see that and he knows the Premier League and what he does at Bayern Leverkusen it can't be sniffed at again like he's competing against the Bayern Munich for this world and like winning the league and doing ridiculously well right so he knows how to put a team together and what Chelsea need is they need somebody who can get a group of players together and really harness the talent that they have within that club.

23:14And he's done that at one club. The time will tell now if he can do that at Chelsea. Steve, Xabi Alonso, are you a fan of his style of play? I know you watch a lot of European football. Yeah, I actually think Xabi Alonso is the most exciting available manager in the world right now. And I think Chelsea have absolutely played a blinder in getting in this early before anyone else starts moving across the summer because if United had appointed him, I'd have been happy with that. I would have had no qualms whatsoever. I'd have been like, okay, don't mind it. Let's have it. Let's see what he can do.

23:53And I think he's an absolute

23:58ridiculous upgrade on your LinkedIn boy. I think that's without a shadow of a doubt. I don't put too much blame for what happened at Real Madrid on his shoulders because that shit show has continued since. and if not even worsened, you could argue. He had a fantastic win rate at Madrid. So, and what he did at Leverkusen was, was he a game away from like an undefeated season? Not your undefeated one cup competition or one league competition. Don't you worry. When we win the Champions League undefeated, you'll know about it. But yeah, I agree. Why are you saying that like no one else has done that before?

24:36No, I'm just saying, but I didn't say no one else has done it, Steve. No, but it's getting defensive. It was a tone in your voice, Joel. I heard it, right? Yeah, you're getting defensive. Anyway, with Xavier Longza going to Chelsea, though, it actually makes this next topic even more relevant because Mo Salah has been going off. I mean, Steven Gerrard said that Mo Salah's statement was damning for the manager on slot. I don't know where it came from. He said, I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear. That is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good.

25:10It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it. What the? Who's everyone, Mo? You might as well have just said Arnie Slott without saying Arnie Slott. Rio, what do you think of this statement? Who is he aiming at? Well, there's only one person he's aiming at, and that's Arnie Slott. There's obviously been something that's gone on behind the scenes because he obviously doesn't like the manager, and he's making it very clear that he's not happy with the way things have gone. He's not happy with the start of football, and he's not happy with the way that the results have gone this season in his final year at the club, which is understandable.

25:44But to go public with it is a huge, huge, huge step. And I think, like, in some ways, I look at it and go, would I want a player, if I was in the dressing room, to be doing that? Not really. I'd want to keep it in-house and have those arguments within the confines of the training ground, maybe. And let's have that and get it and air it out. But as someone on the outside looking in, it's like, I love hearing this. I want to see this. I want to see what and hear how our players feel and seeing the emotion of it. And you go, do you know what? If anybody's earned the right to be able to stand up and talk and shout out loud and say what's on their mind, probably in the last eight or nine years of that club, it would be Mo Salah.

26:23And the fact that there's about eight or nine, maybe more players now that are in that dressing room that have liked that post and that statement online as well, says a lot about... I didn't see that. Yeah, says a lot about... about 15. So, there's obviously a lot of guys behind him. That's why I thought, I'm sitting there going, unless Xabi Alonso hasn't got a social media team behind him, I'll be sitting there going, I can't actually sign for Chelsea right now with all this going on. The players are obviously backing what he's saying and not happy. So, is he going to be able to stay there? Like, is his position safe right now?

26:55Or has he made a call to the Liverpool Football Club, Xabi Alonso and his team, and said, listen guys, I've just had an offer from Chelsea. Are you going to be interested in me or not? Is he staying a big man? Arna Slott, the man in the chair, probably said yes. He's made his decision maybe. There's so many ways it could have gone. But on the other hand of Mo Salah, Arna Slott is probably sitting there and he's had a few spiky things to say in his press conferences. He said something the other day about like, yeah, it's good to work out in a gym, but you've got to also do it in a training pitch.

27:25That's aimed at Mo Salah, right? Because he's the man who's known about the gym and he posts about the gym. It's one of the only things he posts about. so the manager's being spiky as well so most of us probably thinking well i'm going to come back at you this is a one two you shoot i'll shoot you hit i hit so that that's it's fair dues in that sense if i was on this slot now i'll be i'll be i'll be the next press conference i'll be saying tune in guys netflix get you get your money out i'm ready to rock and roll i'm going again it's one game left i don't understand like all of this pew pew wild wild west this is like i don't get it.

27:58Can't we just finish the season and do you know what I mean? Talk about it later. It is crazy. Steve, if he was a United player, right, and he did this. If this was a United player, mate, it'd be all over the news, but it's not. I'm talking about Mo Salah here. If he was a United player, mate, it would be absolute wall-to-wall coverage. Especially with, like, for me, I think there's no question whatsoever. Mo Salah is, without a doubt, Liverpool's greatest Premier League player there is no doubts about it whatsoever and if people think it's anybody else they're lying to themselves no one has done what he has done no one okay but if he was a united player do you reckon it would taint his legacy yes is the answer i'm not even going to give it a yes but i think yeah it probably does because you don't want people having a sniper at the club like that but clearly anna slot's not up to it who takes over the champions gets 500 million to spend and then eight months later comes out and says we're nine players short of having a first team excuse me my friend that's on you yeah that's that is wild that is wild to win the premier league like that and then spend that amount of money half a billion pounds and then fall off a cliff and then have like in-house fighting going on publicly like is is wild that is wild that's so proper stuff it's crazy that's crazy i mean steve's right though because if it's united if If it's Sancho or Ashford or look at Madrid over there, it's like, well, we can hear the Madrid news all the way over here.

29:26You know, I don't even know. They're big clubs, Joel. They're big clubs, aren't they? Oh, man. Speaking about big clubs, obviously we're about to, you know, win the Premier League. But Man City winning the FA Cup victory, do you reckon that kind of helps them in the title race a little bit? No, because it's up to you, isn't it? If you lot win your game, it's over.
