1:44Hello, everybody. Welcome to the United Stands. I'm Mark Goldbridge. This is your latest Manchester United news. as Michael Carrick slams Manchester City, you know, in light of what's happened over the international break. We'll be talking about that. Also, three massively significant injuries that just portray and evidence exactly what everybody was talking about across the summer, that we needed a striker and we needed a left back. And this Sesco injury sounds horrific. It sounds absolutely horrific. I mean, we're just going to get straight into that one, actually, because, you know, what better way to start?
2:20Michael Carrick. I mean, look, I still don't think Man United are brilliant when it comes to telling us about injuries. Iriola today, Gakpo and Izak are out of the Manchester City game. No messing around. That's what clubs do. Man United seem to be reluctant to do that. But what Carrick did do today is give us a bit of an update. Dorgu is going to be out for a number of weeks. Masraoui has got a knock and he's not quite right. Balaba improving, trained a lot. But Ahmad's done a little bit as well. Sesko is further away with the issue he's got. He won't be ready. So it sounds like Sesko could be out for a very, very considerable period of time.
2:59Dorgue's going to be out for a few weeks. It's interesting about Dorgue, isn't it? People didn't seem to pick up on that one. I said it to you, I think, at the start of the week. He went off with Denmark after half an hour with what looked like a very similar injury to what he did in January. which means when Carrick says weeks, that really could be months. I don't think we'll see him before the end of November, maybe even longer. So that's a catastrophe because it's a left back. A left back with the needed. We've only got Luke Shaw and Deleu as fit fullbacks at the moment. Masraoui's injured, Dorgou's out for weeks.
3:35Luke Shaw and Deleu are our fullbacks. I mean, you literally can't drop them, even though we'd love to drop them. You can't drop them because the only full backs we've got. Up front, we don't even have a striker. Serks is not a striker. Kunya is not a striker. Embermo is not a striker. So these are big problems, especially when you've got game frequency as quickly as we have. Also, Rashford and Mainu have trained. I think that's a positive. I'm not convinced Rashford's fully fit. I might be completely wrong, but I'm not convinced Rashford's fully fit. I think Rashford's going to be playing with an injury again.
4:11And Maynou, we just don't know what the problem is with him. Some people think he just didn't want to play Batucca after the World Cup. Ahmad Sky is saying that Ahmad could be in the squad tomorrow, which would be useful. But again, injury issues for Manchester United there. Also, Michael Carrick spoke about the Man City charges. Look, we've had ridiculous comments today from Maresca saying that Manchester City's title is absolutely not tainted. you know what on this I'm so tired of listening to people say there's a process ongoing with Man City and the Premier League that we must respect if you want to respect the process the Premier League put a statement out telling us that they did sham deals and they're basically cheats the appeal is something completely different you are allowed to say Man City cheated because that's what the Premier League have basically laid out in front of us the appeal is something completely different.
5:04If you go to court and somebody has been charged with burglar in your house or something like that, and they get convicted and they're guilty, you don't go down the local pub and say, well, you never know, they might appeal and get off with it. They're guilty. They're guilty at the moment. And this is what Michael... And look, I disagree with this a little bit because a few people have been quite harsh on Michael Carrick saying that he didn't really say much about it. I thought what Carrick said... Look, admittedly, Carrick might have said it in a dull, boring way, But that's Michael Carrick. I think sometimes he gets a little bit of stick for that.
5:36But I thought what Carrick said was spot on. He said, you can't take back what's happened. It's the moment you strive for in football. The emotion and the feeling about winning is in that moment. It's what we're all in it for. That's the feeling we crave. The beauty of trying to win trophies is the journey towards it and the finale. It goes against that. Once that's done, there's no getting that back in any direction. I'm not blase about it, but regardless of anything in any sport, in any history, if later on you get a medal, it doesn't bring the feeling of when you initially win it or you don't.
6:09And that's Carrick basically echoing what Wayne said on Stick to United. Being given a legacy trophy because of what Man City did doesn't make you feel like you've won it. What are we going to do? Get an open bus tour and go around Manchester saying we won the title in 2012. I don't think it washes. And he also went on to say, I've got my own questions. It's thrown up a lot of questions. Some have had answers, some haven't. Certainly, I've got my own questions about it. It's affected me personally in different ways over a period of time. As it's still not finalised, I think I'll hold on that one until later on.
6:43What I will say is that the sooner it gets sorted for everyone's benefits, it's essential. It's unprecedented. It's a unique situation to be in at this level with such a huge impact in so many ways. We all need to know what's going to happen. I mean, you know what? I've criticised Carrick I think Carrick gets a lot of stick but I personally think what Carrick said about Man City was absolutely spot on now look it's interesting when we were doing the Overlap Daily today with Carrick and Neville I think Gary said something about he wanted Carrick to come out and be quite strong about it I don't know whether that got into the edit but I think Carrick was quite strong about it I think Mourinho's been quite strong about it I think if Sir Alex Ferguson was around, he would have been very strong about it as well.
7:31I think a lot of the Premier League managers have been quite tame. I would be, you know, Arteta used to work at Man City, maybe that's why he's being quiet, but you're in a bloody title race with Man City, I'd be trying to get under their skin. I mean, I can't put words into Sir Alex Ferguson's mouth, but if he was manager of Man United now, considering what he said about Keegan and Benitez to try and win titles, I can imagine Sir Alex Ferguson doing a press conference today saying, look, at the end of the day, they've been proven to be cheating and well, they've been proven to have broken the rules, which has helped them build this dynasty.
8:07And here they are with a great team again, built on those breaking of the rules, how those players and that manager can look themselves in the eye and go, you know, we're a credible title contenders. I don't know. And, you know, try and get at them like that. But a lot of people have been, let's, you know, let's see the process. Let's see the process. There is no bloody process. They've been found guilty. They can appeal it. And Mareska seems to think they're going to get off with it. But I don't think in any way, shape or form that Michael Carrick was tame in what he said. He said it's impacted him personally and it has.
8:41You know, he should have had an extra title in 2012. He said he's got his own questions that he wants to know about. And he said it needs to happen. The result needs to happen quickly. I don't think Michael Carrick. Look, Michael Carrick's never going to be, you know, Mr. Charismatic. That's not what he's going to be. He wasn't as a player. He's not going to be that as a manager. But I think he answered it well. And I think sometimes we rush to be very critical. And I don't think Carrick did anything wrong. I think tomorrow, 24 hours, Manchester, sorry, Spurs, and it will be around this time as that game comes to a close.
9:14If that doesn't go well, Michael Carrick's going to get a lot of criticism. But I think on the Man City thing, he was absolutely spot on. I'm just concerned now about the next few games. Spurs, Atletico Madrid, Leeds, Como, Bournemouth, Chelsea, Villa, Roma. I'm concerned about those games because they all come up in the next four or five weeks and we've already got injuries. And I just think that we probably will get more injuries if I'm being completely honest. Let me get into your comments as well. Why are we so early, Mark? To be honest, I just saw somebody in the chat say FC 27. I just completely forgot.
9:51Honestly, I put my hands up. I was up in Manchester this morning filming that show. I left at about one o 'clock. The M6 was closed again. I was going down all these bloody country roads to get back. And I've got the Bundesliga at half seven on Overlap Daily for Dortmund against the De Bremen. So slightly earlier show than normal. But, you know, I just, I did, I wanted to do a show because I think tomorrow is such a big game. And I think I saw a few people criticizing Carrick. I don't think that's fair. I thought, I think he's one of the better managers to, I don't, I actually think most Premier League managers were a shower of shit.
10:36If I'm being completely honest about Man City, cowards. You know, sometimes I really, I was listening to the radio on the way down and had an Everton fan on. and they were saying that it's almost become acceptable now for owners to buy clubs and be unambitious. So buy Everton and finish 10th. You know, that's the ambition. Buy Man United and finish fourth. That's the ambition. I think the soul has been ripped out of football and I'm disgusted actually by the lack of forthright opinion from managers of football clubs in the Premier League after one of the biggest decisions in Premier League history.
11:14and a lot of them just said next to nothing about Man City. And I just think cowards. I mean, all right, you've got to be very careful because you might get, you know, well, you're not going to get sued for saying that they've been found to be breaking the rules. But I think it just shows the lack of passion, the mercenary nature. So many players and managers have been really quiet about this and it just exposes what most of us pretty much know anyway. These people aren't fans of the clubs they play for. The players, the managers, they're just mercenaries. And they're not actually that bothered that the last 17 years of the Premier League has no integrity.
11:53So fair play to Carrick for actually saying that it's impacted him personally, because he's the only one, as far as I know, that's actually said, I've got questions, it's impacted me personally, and it needs to be dealt with. The rest of them, it's sort of like, well, I don't really want to talk about that. pathetic pathetic i heard ian holloway what he was saying was very passionate about it um i'm disgusted disgusted by the reaction of most premier league managers and players as we come back from one of the biggest decisions in premier league history that none of them have the balls or probably let's be honest the inclination or desire to actually say anything because i don't think they really care as long as they're picking up their money they're not bothered.
12:36And I say this with total confidence. I think 20, 30 years ago, there would have been players coming out saying stuff about it as well. Daniel Thompson says, hi, Mark. Hope you're well. Had a good day. Great video. Thought it was really good and you were great. Our Threadbear squad getting injuries is awful again and reflects poorly on the window. Yeah, I think
13:00I haven't got any criticism of Carrick in relation to what he said about Man City, but I am concerned about the injuries. We've got to be really careful as a fan base not to forget what we were very passionate about in the summer, air conditioning. No, it was a hot summer, but transfers. I get so angry, and I think many of you do as well, that we spend three months of our life every summer, thousands of us talking about transfers and this, that, and the other. We can't blame it on Carrick if this goes wrong Because it's been a shit summer And then the summer closes We lose a couple of games like Hull and City Oh, Carrick's clueless And we forget about the shit show I mean, look, maybe Carrick is clueless But the shit show of the summer transfer window Has a percentage part Nobody can tell me that that summer transfer window was good Nobody can tell me that Carrick was backed because he wasn't.
14:02Whether it's Carrick, Enrique, Tuchel, they weren't backed based on that summer transfer window. And we have no fit striker. We only have Luke Shaw at left back. These were two non-negotiable areas and people should shout about it from the rooftops because it's not just bad luck. Our injury crisis is not bad luck. We should have another striker and another left back and we'd be sat here tonight going, at least we signed that striker, at least we signed that left back. We didn't. And now, right at the start of the season, going into eight, count them, eight big games in five weeks. We've got two fit fullbacks, no fit striker.
14:42And that's before what's about to come. So, yeah, not great. Josh says, every season is always filled with injuries. Do you reckon we buy broken toys or is our medical department just that bad? I don't think I don't think that it was I just don't think they follow the data I really don't think they follow the data I think they've I just think they've just gone for cheap look, Balaba's got to work I am excited about the game tomorrow let's hope we can kickstart our season but I just don't think the recruitment's very good. We're rebuilding the defence next summer, but low key, if you whisper it, we rebuilt the defence two summers ago when we bought De Ligt, Yoro and Masraoui.
15:34So why are we building it again? And that was under Ineos. Gatto says, let him speak, Gary, tough watch, Rooney, proper gent. Let him speak, Gary, tough watch, Rooney, proper gent. Oh, I know what you're talking about. Thank you, Gatto.

In Mark, hi Mark, well done for not baiting Carragher. Thought he was disrespectful towards you, but I enjoyed the video. Well done to you, mate. Look, Dale, I was laughing my head off. I was watching the show. If you've not watched it, the new overlap daily show. We're over there in a bit, actually, for the Bundesliga. I was watching. It was my idea to do it as a premiere. So there's a live chat. I said, look, you've got to do that.
18:15So I was looking at a lot of the comments. And I was hosting the show. It was my first show doing that. Obviously, Jamie and Gary have worked together a long time and they do talk a lot. As a host, that's my job to let that happen. Some of you seem to want me to talk more, which is fine. But as a host, I was always going to host the show. And as for all the stuff that's gone viral, it's very easy to react to that and say something or something or something or something. There's a lot of things I could have said to that, but I want to talk football. I want to talk about football and we have a foot in the door and we will keep pushing on that door.
19:04I want to talk about football. That's what I want to do. So thanks for the support. Thanks for the comments. But I'm not going down that road of saying stuff. I'm not interested in that. I'm interested in talking about football. And I think that that's where we will end up as we embark on this journey together. Amazing first show. Weren't too happy with how much Cara was gunning for you though, says Daniel. I mean, look, all I would say is whether it came across on camera or not, he's absolutely sound. No problem at all. Desiree says, I'll bet against anyone Carrick will play his shite back four, Delo, Maguire, Martinez and Maguire, Andrea Rashford tomorrow and forget Yoro or Ahmad.
19:52Well, Desiree, I think in relation to the back four, Yoro was never starting. Luke Shaw and Delo have to start because we have no other fit fullback. So I think you're going to be probably right. Absolutely. I can't believe people are actually wasting super chats that I'm not going to read about a channel and something that's nothing to do with Man United Rick thank you very much congratulations on Stick to United your grandad would be very proud of how far you've come thank you pal I am actually on the Bundesliga coverage in a bit if people want to talk about the stuff they're talking about here but this is the United stand Hamza says very professional I think my last straw was Carrick his Spurs tomorrow.
20:35If he loses, he should get sacked. I can't read the future. It would have been very useful today if I could, actually. But I can't read the future. I can only say, I think we win tomorrow. I think we've already had the unforgivable results. Five points from 15 is already a shit start for United. I firmly believe we're not shit. I firmly believe we're going to be a roller coaster. And I think now, over the next few weeks, we're going to have that bounce. As I said to you last night, though, five points from 15 is not very good. If we win our next five and take 15 from 15, that's still only 20 from 30.
21:21So remember, this is a lesson in life and it's certainly a lesson in football. Context is key. if we win our next five games people will start talking about us winning the league but 15 from 15 plus 5 from 15 is 20 from 30 it's not that good so context is key um i think we're going to have a good run i'm not saying we're going to get 15 from 15 but even if we do at the next international break we'd be saying 20 from 30 it's still not great it's okay it'll get us in and around it but i feel that we're about to go on a good run now uh tom boone welcome to the members club thank you very much legend love the badge and also don't forget sorry thank you everybody last night really enjoyed the members only video that we did the members Q &A that's there for you to watch as well as all the other stuff so thank you for joining Tom Mario Franco says guilty an appeal won't make them non-cheaters thank you Mario Archie says just finished the premiere sitting Neville down with that Lukaku comment was hilarious then pulling out that Carragher comment never change mate says Archie, thank you very much.
22:27I just think Gary was obsessed with that Arsenal lad, I forgot his name now, being debut. And I was just like, he just kept going on and on about it. And I just got to the point where I was just like, I don't agree. I mean, Dowman. So we did best debut in Premier League ever. And it ended up being Rabinelli for his hat trick against Liverpool for Middlesbrough, which is a brilliant debut in the Premier League. Personally, I think Martial against Liverpool.
23:00Which I got a bit ashamed about, actually. Can anybody remember Martial's debut when he came on at Old Trafford and scored the winner against Liverpool? I know Martial didn't go on to be a great player, but bloody hell, I remember that like it was yesterday. That was a massive goal. That was, I mean, it's a shame he didn't go on to do what we hoped he could, but that was a massive goal. Rashford's two goals against Arsenal after his debut in the Europa League, his debut in the Premier League, I think he got two goals against Arsenal was there. But I genuinely think in the Premier League era, Martial's against Liverpool in your home debut, I think that's a bloody good goal.
23:37I think that's a brilliant moment. But yeah, Gary wanted to give it to Max Downman because he's 15. And he was on about how impressive it is because he's so physical. I don't think Downman scored on his debut. And I just said to him, did you see Lukaku at 15? Because he was fucking massive. So, you know, sometimes Max Downman, it's incredible what he's done, but I wouldn't say his debut. I wouldn't say it's the best ever debut. Matt Casey says, what makes you think we're going to go on a good run? Good question. I basically think that our start to the season was worse than it should have been.
24:12So if you flip that round, I think we're going to go on a good run. Personally, I think we're a yo-yo team. We can beat anyone and we can lose to anyone. I think the start to the season was probably, we probably should have had eight points instead of five. I mean, we should have had another three points somewhere. That's about where we are. And this time we probably should take eight from 15, but I think this time we'll probably take 12 or 11. So I just think it will balance itself out. We will end up, in my opinion, fourth or fifth this season. I don't think we're terrible, but I also don't think we're good enough.
24:46I think we are exactly where the Glazers and Ineos want us to be, finishing fourth or fifth. That's what I think. Thanks for your comment there, Matt. Josh says, every season is always filled with injuries. Do you reckon we buy broken... I've done that one, haven't I? No, I don't think we purposely bribe... Well, Belaber was injured, I suppose, but... Why is slow mode on, Mark? It usually isn't.
25:14Normally, it's... No, it's exactly the same as it always is, mate. Yeah. the premiere on the Overlap Daily show was absolutely brilliant. There was an amazing, look, because I was hosting and because Jamie and Gary could talk for England, it was, I didn't talk as much as I think people wanted me to talk. And we can work on that. The comments were brilliant. It was like 5 % possession bridge, counterattack bridge. But the best one was Gotti's new contract and down tools bridge. I was actually nearly crying in the chat at that one because it was like, you know, done the deal and dropped the levels.
25:55So that one did me like that. That did make me laugh, to be fair. Look, you know what? It's the same with the United stand. I don't think Stick to United episode one was great. I thought it was good. I don't think it was great. I think where we're at now, it's brilliant. So it's episode one. I'm not bothered. My first few live streams on here were shit. I'm not talking about debuts I've never been somebody that would debut well I'm not I'm a slow burner I'm a grower that's something else so yeah I'm not bothered I'm not bothered look if you can't take feedback criticism I think you're going to struggle in life anyway so you just got to the people in life who can't take feedback and get aggy about it and stressed about it Like, laugh it off.
26:48Take it for what it is and then move on. It's absolutely fine. And look, I knew this was not going to be easy anyway. This is probably going to be the biggest challenge we've ever had because I've got to convince all of you lot. And you're hard to convince. I think on the United stand, we're getting there. I think you're seeing what we're doing. I think it's going to be a massive challenge on that other channel, which I can call Overlap Daily now because I've done it. It's going to be a big challenge, but I'm up for it. I'm ready for it. there we go what do you think about Balaba Mark I mean look the thing about Balaba I've seen is a little bit like me I've seen stuff like he was a bit quiet and a bit you know reserved at the start but he's starting to settle and you know feel more confident look regardless of whether you were like me and you didn't want to sign Balaba or regardless of whether you were like Keel and you think he's the dog's bollocks I think we're all in agreement that I've not spoken to any United fan in the last three weeks, who has said, the Labour's going to be a flop.
27:50I know he's shit. Like, we need this player to hit the ground running and be really good. Like, it's not... I always say this. I don't like the Glazers. I don't like some of our players. I think they've been here too long. It's not personal. We've not been good enough for over 10 years. The football's dross. We're a shadow of what Manchester United Football Club should be. but selfishly, I want us to win. I want us in Europe. And I don't want to get... I'm tired of being proven right, you know? That's what bothers me about the injuries. We sat there night after night, day after day, saying we need a striker and a left-back.
28:31And here we are already. Dorgou's been injured, Shaw's been injured, Sesko's injured, Masraoui's injured. Like, they are the positions, left-back and striker. And we're only just in the start of October. So welcome to the club of being right again. Welcome to the club of I told you so. But I don't want that. I had 20 odd years of Sir Alex Ferguson running this football club and trusting that this was a guy that knew way more than me, but also probably cared more than me. Like, I really care about Man United, but Sir Alex Ferguson was obsessive. And I tell you what, when you've got custodians of your football club like that, trust, respect, safety in the knowledge that you know it's going to work.
29:19Oh, I've took it for granted because now we're left on our own as fans giving a shit, wanting to be good. And we've got people in the club who just don't have that. And I'm tired of being right. I'm tired of being, I told you so. I just want us to win. I just want to enjoy it. I want us to play good football and win games of football. But we're run by Prats. That's the problem. Edward says United versus Spurs is the garbage derby. I'm probably one of the most relaxed. I'm probably one of the most relaxed people in the fan base at the moment. It's not because I've gotten the Guinness Zero.
30:00I'm probably more relaxed than I've ever been because I just, and maybe some of you are like me, I'm not entertaining the scenario that we lose to Spurs. I'm just not. We have to win tomorrow. We have to bounce back. Spurs have had a shit start. It's at Old Trafford. Look, 10 minutes into the game, I'll probably be sat there going, I can't believe it. I can't speak. Yeah, bloody prats and all that stuff. But I just think that, and I'm tired of people saying Spurs aren't as bad as their position suggests. because I think exactly the same about us. I do. Chemistry will grow over time, says Chris.
30:44Thank you very much. I think we finished the month with a 30 % win ratio, says Button Moon. What a show. And you've got the little PNG. What a show. I loved that growing up. Godzilla says, I'm so happy for you, Mark. Hope you kick it out of the park. And then some as you grow into this new phase of your life. Wish you the best. Thank you, Godzilla. I'm enjoying the new shows. The feature pure football and passion. You and Wayne are brilliant together, says Wayne. Wayne Finnegan. Yeah, back with Wayne on Monday. Stick to United. Got some really good guests lined up, actually, over the next few weeks.
31:15But that Berbatov one, that's got to, you know, we've got to knock it out of the park to beat that, but looking forward to it. Cheers, Mark. Carrick gets six or less out of 15, should we be concerned? Do you think that the board will stick to a manager like Arsenal did Arteta, says Roger the Dodger? Well, I think, look, if Carrick's got five from 15 and he takes six from the next 15, That's 11 from 30. That's a problem. He, I would say, look, I'm not into stats, but I think it's a good way to think about it. The next international break will have played 10 games, 30 points. If he's got less than 17, I think he's under a bit of pressure.
31:58Now, to get to 17, he needs 12. That's four out of five. I probably actually should we knock it down to 15 he's got that's only half let's just say if he gets if he's got less than 15 points from 30 at the next international break I think he's in trouble but that means he needs 10 from 15 that's three wins and a draw and a loss so there's not a lot there's not a lot there Nick says how good was Beth on the fan debate fantastic well I brought one of her comments into the show today I thought Beth I put it brilliantly on that. Really, really good. I am back with you all weekend this weekend. Sorry if everyone's tuning in a little bit later.
32:44I've got a Bundesliga game. I'm very excited about it, actually. The Bundesliga club is back tonight. We're watching Dortmund in Dortmund. So I'm excited about that. Live match footage if you want to tune in. We'll be live there at half seven. But I'm with you all weekend. So 10 o 'clock show tomorrow morning. Then we're doing Arsenal leads. Then we're back here for Countdown to kick off. Five o 'clock, watch along, match reaction, player ratings, fan forum. And then, yeah, so busy, busy weekend. Very excited about it. Great to be, just great to have proper football back. Brilliant. Thank you for all your support as always.
33:24Not just here, but in the bigger picture as well. I'm not blind. I was in the live chat. I know, you've just got to take it. You've got to take it, haven't you? And you can't win every battle. But it's great to have you on my side. Take care, stay safe, and I'll hopefully see some of you on the Bundesliga stream in about 10 minutes. Thanks for watching.
