'Standards have fallen': Manchester United fans react to imminent sack decision with Michael Carrick comparison

The contrast regarding the managerial situations at Old Trafford and Selhurst Park has left some United supporters, on social media, questioning the standards of the club.

One user on X, formerly Twitter, wrote: “Palace are sacking their manager. United still won’t. Reports say Pierre Sage is about to be sacked but Carrick is still being given time.

“United have 8 points, Palace have 7. You’d think Palace were the bigger club.”

Another X user wrote: “Crystal Palace are sitting on 20th and a point behind Manchester United and are looking to SACK their manager Pierre Sage.

“But Manchester United want to keep Michael Carrick. Our standards have truly fallen.”

He said: “You know the situation, we haven’t won enough games. But I expect to move forward with things we’ve been working on, showing a lot of the good from today, tighten up a few mistakes and win some football matches.”
