About this listen

Welcome back to an unfortunate episode of Devils in the Box! Well, it was fun while it lasted. Michael Carrick’s unbeaten run has come to a screeching halt after a seriously frustrating 2-1 defeat to a 10-man Newcastle United at St James' Park.

In this episode, Joe tries to process the Newcastle reality check without hitting the panic button (we are still THIRD, people!). We also take aim at the exhausting negativity coming from the Class of '92—specifically Paul Scholes' hastily deleted Instagram story calling out Carrick. Finally, we push the noise aside to look at the massive decision facing INEOS this summer: Who should be the permanent manager of Manchester United? We dive into the stats and achievements of Michael Carrick, Julian Nagelsmann, Carlo Ancelotti, Luis Enrique, and Roberto De Zerbi.

👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments! Are you backing Carrick for the permanent job, or should INEOS bring in a heavyweight like Ancelotti or Enrique?

⏱️ Episode Topics:- Intro: The Unbeaten Run is Over (But We're Still 3rd!)- The Newcastle Dissection: How Did We Lose to 10 Men?- Ex-Player Negativity: The Harsh Reality of Ex Players- The Permanent Manager Debate: Does Carrick Deserve the Job?- The Shortlist Stats: Nagelsmann, Ancelotti, Enrique & De Zerbi
