'Poor finish from Enciso'

Man Utd 0-0 Ipswich

Really end to end.

Julio Enciso had the beating of Luke Shaw and Bryan Mbeumo but it was a really poor finish and he made it really easy for Senne Lammens.

It just shows the defensive frailties that Manchester United do have.

Man Utd fans want Marcus Rashford to do well

There was a bit of social media chatter about Marcus Rashford and whether Manchester United fans really want him back.

Well, the sound of anticipation when he embarked on his first run down the left wing suggested they do.

I think everyone accepts Rashford lost his way, under Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim, and even he expected to join Barcelona at the end of last season.

However, he is back now. All the word I am getting is that he will stay for the season.

Manchester United will benefit if he is on top form.

It's all about Manchester United because of the disappointing start that they had to the season last week against Hull City.

Yes, the result but more so the performance that has come under scrutiny.

The attitude and the application of the players has been questioned.

Michael Carrick will be hoping for a huge reaction from his players here this afternoon.

Ipswich had a great result last time out against Sunderland and it is a really good start for Gary O'Neil.

For them coming here, these are the occasions they want and their supporters want.

A performance is what Gary O'Neil will want today.

A susceptible, vulnerable Manchester United, it may just be a good time for Ipswich to play against them.

Carrick hits back at 'lazy' Man Utd analysis

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick is not a man who lets emotions get the better of him.

Neither is he someone who will offer a soundbite in a reactionary response to a question.

However, he has been genuinely irritated by the insinuation his side lacked passion in their shock defeat at Hull last Saturday.

In the immediate aftermath of the 2-0 loss, he rounded on former Middlesbrough forward Jan Aage Fjortoft, who now works for TV, who claimed his players lacked passion, saying the assertion was ‘ridiculous’.

On Friday in his pre-match press conference, Carrick was peppered with questions demanding his explained what went wrong and why it could not simply be down to a lack of passion.

“I don't have to give you the total reason, because we know what we're trying to improve on,” he said.

“I'm just saying I think it's so easy and lazy to just go ‘team loses a game, so everything's wrong; this is wrong, this is wrong, (you are) not trying enough, (there is) not enough passion’. It's just like the obvious answer.

“It’s just a game, though. We've probably played like that and won games, and everyone goes, 'What a great team, what a great coach, what a great load of players'.

“When you're analysing it, you’ve got to dig deeper than that and understand the details of it.”

'We need to improve many things'

FT: Sunderland 1-0 Fulham

Fulham

Fulham boss Alvaro Arbeloa, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It was a tough game for us. We didn't deserve it. In the second half, the first 20 minutes, we were at a level where we can play football with that energy and focus and the quality we want. Sunderland were better for many minutes. We need to improve many things, especially the energy and the attitude.

"If you want to come here and play like you want to play, then you need to have the mentality. It's not easy but we are a new team with new ideas. We will improve with time. We will have ups and downs. We need to realise we need to show more energy and fight for every ball.

"Chelsea is a very tough team but when you face a team like that in your stadium, the motivation is high. You have to do it every single week, we know that.

On better away form: "It is a target for my team. Some days we will play as bad as today but that means you have to run, fight, and be narrow.

On the transfer window: "We are working on it with the club. We know we have two days so we are working because we can do with the squad being stronger and more balanced."

Carlos Baleba doesn't quite have the stardust of Raphael Varane, who was also introduced to the Old Trafford crowd after completing his move from Real Madrid in 2021.

But Baleba cost more.

His £70m move from Brighton moves him into the top 10 of Manchester United signings.

Top of the list remains Paul Pogba. Antony is second. Jadon Sancho and Rasmus Hojlund are also ahead of Baleba.

Everyone connected to the Old Trafford club will hope Baleba does better than them.
