A good night all round.“Results-wise, it has not been the start that what we wanted. We wanted more points in the league. But performance-wise, it has been a lot of things we are looking for.“Collectively, as a team, we have done a lot of the right things and that is why were are excited about what the season will bring. It is really encouraging for me.”“He definitely offers a different kind of threat, that is the beauty of it really, we know what Ben gives us and there are not many who can give us what he gives us. Speed, physicality, ability to play on the last line and run in behind. Great to have him back.”Support the showGlazers’ your time is up. Sell up and move on, NOW! GLAZERS OUT!!

I thought we did a lot of good things in the game to get us in the position we were in twice.“Some of our attacking players was really good and we looked dangerous and done a lot of things that we were trying to do. And for the most part, I thought we dealt with them quite well.“Maybe there’s a little bit of managing the game a little bit better.“It hurts as we came here to win and we put ourselves in a good position.”Support the showGlazers’ your time is up.

He showed his quality today. Through the middle of the pitch, particularly Youri, Kobbi and Matheus played some really good football.“Bruno’s done what he’s good at. He’s won awards this week and bounced back from last week. Three goals, fantastic performance.“We’re not getting carried away. We weren’t overly down last week, everything wasn’t wrong. It was something we can improve on. Today, there are still things we can get better at.“The result was great.

It was never going to be perfect, but going behind and giving ourselves a lot to do makes it more difficult.“It was a typical one of those games, with a newly-promoted team at home. You can’t give them much, they’ve got a lot to hold on to. After that, we had moments and opportunities but we didn’t have the spark to put the chances away or create any more.“We’re bitterly disappointed with the result, but we won’t let it knock us.”Support the showGlazers’ your time is up.

I think the boys played some tremendous football. It was a test for us coming here today. If you’re not really focused and playing at your level, then coming here, I thought it was going to be a really tough game.“The boys were fantastic – defending so well as a team and playing some great football.

Sunderland 0 vs Manchester United 0Premier League3:00pm, Saturday 9th May 2026Stadium of Light, Attendance : 47,233Michael Carrick speaking to Sky Sports : “We take the point, I think a clean sheet is always good to get. I think we’ve scored a lot of goals this season and we’ve created a lot of chances. It’s just one of those games, you know, it’s a tough game. It was a decent enough point and we nearly won it in the end.“There were some changes today and I thought, as a collective, the spirit and the attitude of the boys was really good.“It’s easy to fizzle out after you’ve had a spell and you come towards the end of the season and you’re really focused on finishing the season strong. Was it going to be the perfect game? I think we probably went into it not expecting the perfect game and understanding the situation and the changes.“It is what it is. It’s something that we need to overthink and certainly not to be negative about because there’s not a lot to be negative about. We understand that we can be a little bit better than we were at certain times today.“We need to keep improving, keep working. Take the positives, play with the confidence.“It’s a tough league, it’s a tough league to get results. Today, to take a point from here is okay.”Support the showGlazers’ your time is up.

I thought we started fantastically. We should’ve been at least another goal up, maybe more. Credit to them, they’re a good team and have a really good mix of threats.“We tweaked things second half and for the most part had decent control. I thought the spirit and effort was fantastic. We could’ve scored more but at this time of the year, it’s a results business.”“We were going to make it anyway and then we scored the second goal. There were just certain spaces that we needed to cover better. It was purely a tactical decision. In the position we were in at half-time, we wanted to see the game through.“The way the boys managed it – it’s a tough league to get results in. To get the amount of wins we have, we are delighted with that.”Man Utd defender Harry Maguire speaking to Sky Sports: “I thought I was good at heading and attacking the box until I met Casemiro.”Support the showGlazers’ your time is up.

Chelsea 0 vs Manchester United 1M Cunha (43′)Premier League8:00pm, Saturday 18th April 2026Stamford BridgeMichael Carrick : “It was massive for us, a big win. To come here and keep a clean sheet like we did, and defend the way we did, I thought it was a magnificent performance.“We don’t want to look behind us, we want to keep improving and move forward. We’re still not high enough, we want to be higher, but it was a big win and something the supporters can enjoy.“It was a disappointment against Leeds, but to come here and respond like that, especially in a tough place, was really pleasing. Some games are about getting the result, and there’s no shame in that.”“There was a lot of work in the last couple of days preparing the team, especially with the new back four. Ayden and Nous coming in were incredible. At such a young age, Ayden isn’t really playing centre-back in a back four, so a lot of credit goes to the coaching staff and the players for taking that on board.”Support the showGlazers’ your time is up.

Manchester United 1 vs Leeds United 2L Martínez (sent off 56′), Casemiro (69′)N Okafor (5′, 29′)Premier League8:00pm, Monday 13th April 2026Old TraffordMichael Carrick : “We didn’t start the game particularly well. We conceded, which came after Leny Yoro got a forearm smash in the back of his head.“They didn’t decide to overturn that, which was a big moment in the game. We didn’t quite have the rhythm, we didn’t click. We had some moments but it wasn’t there for large parts of the half.“I thought the boys stayed positive and fought for everything in the second half, after a shocking decision to send Lisandro off.“That’s two games in a row we’ve had those decisions go against us, but that one was one of the worst I’ve seen.”“There’s a difference between touching somebody the way he has and actually really aggressively tugging on it, which we’ve seen at certain points where there’s a real emphasis to it. It’s really concerning.“To start with, he gets an arm in the face. So he’s kind of off balance. He almost just goes to touch him and grab his shirt and he ends up catching his ear and touches the back of his ear and a bobble comes out and you get a red card for it.“It’s not aggressive. There’s no tug. There’s no sudden movement. He kind of touches it and glances through it. You’ve just got to be careful where the game is going to go if we are giving red cards for that. It’s a shocking decision. Absolutely shocking.”Support the showGlazers’ your time is up. Sell up and move on, NOW! GLAZERS OUT!!

Obviously, if you get one, you must get the other.“It’s pretty much identical for me, two-hand grab. Either way, he’s got one wrong, but to give one and not give the other, I can’t get my head around it, I think it’s crazy. It’s a bit baffling, really.“Because of that, they score and then it’s chaos after that, really.

It was a good performance in the main. We did a lot of things we were really happy with in the game and to finish it the way we did, we knew it was a big game coming into it and getting back to winning ways, the boys responded so well.“I was quite happy with it at half-time, it was just a tight game. Sometimes you have to be a bit measured. The game opened up for us in the second half and we had the players to make the difference.”Speaking about the contribution of captain Fernandes, he added: “He’s had so many big moments, to score or make a pass, and he’s always there. He always puts himself forward, whether it’s training or games.“The pass to Matheus was fantastic.”Support the showGlazers’ your time is up. Sell up and move on, NOW! GLAZERS OUT!!

We had it in our hands largely but credit to Newcastle.“The way they approached the game, we knew it would be a tough game. We navigated the game in a way that we felt we could kick on but we didn’t really. Bitterly disappointed.“I don’t think it was the 10 men, I just don’t think we played good enough tonight. We can’t make any excuses for that. We all take responsibility for that and we know.“Why was the character lacking? It wasn’t. It was just the quality and the performance. Not the character. We wanted to win. It’s easy to throw that out when you don’t win a game of football.“We weren’t there in terms of quality. Credit to Newcastle. They deserved to win tonight. It hurts me to say that but that’s how it was. We need to get back to working and be better for the next game.“We’ve lost one game, we haven’t played well enough but in the grand scheme of things but we are in a good position.”Support the showGlazers’ your time is up.

It was a test for us going in a goal down at half-time. New for us. We didn’t start the game great, credit to Palace they did. We grew into the game as the half went on. Second half we stepped up again.“It was a big thing to overcome being a goal down at home so early against a team that are tough to break down. It was a big step for us. I was really happy with the way the boys approached that and reacted to it.”“Ben is here to score goals and he has done enough of that lately. He is going to be an important player – he already is an important player – and he is going to become even more important as he progresses and improves.“To get the start today it wasn’t a drama, it was a natural decision. Amad coming on and rotating a bit. For Ben to get that goal, that is some really important goals he has scored for us. It was a fantastic header.”Support the showGlazers’ your time is up.

I expected a period where we would have to find ourselves a little bit and get a result.“We did it to a point at West Ham and we did it today. That spirit, sacrifice and willingness to work for each other as a team. The way we had to defend our box together at the end of the game. In the end, a clean sheet and massive win for us.“It didn’t come easy for us tonight. I’ve never had an easy game against Everton. We expected a tough one.“The lads have trained well and we came into this one feeling good about the game. It was one of those nights for us. We had to dig deep. It was a hit of a struggle at times but those are the best ones to win.”“He’s in a good place at the moment. We’ve had some really good talks. Patience is one thing for him. Waiting and developing as a player here.“He understands that. He’s going to be a big player for us for a long period of time, I’m sure of that.“We’ve got to manage that.

And then finishing with a late goal when we've had to find one is a good moment, and another positive for us to know that we can do that."And we don't want to have to pull on it and use it too often but in the grand scheme, there's a point, something we can take, and we kind of dust ourselves down a little bit, assess it, take these games off, a five-game period, and to just have one draw in there is a big positive."Support the showGlazers’ your time is up.

Getting questions all week about breaking down a low block and beating teams that you should beat, and that was never the case today."Fulham are a really good team, and we knew that we were going to have a lot of questions to answer."Credit to the boys for the late goal last week that we conceded, then go again and win, and especially today, which was even tougher to take, probably to then find a winner for Benji."I'm just so delighted for him, and he totally deserves it."It's a huge moment for all of us but for him especially, he deserves it.
