"Michael Carrick got off to a flying start as Manchester United manager with an impressive 2-0 win against their cross-town rivals Manchester City. But his interim appointment only serves to highlight a bigger issue lingering in the background of the fallen giant. Elsewhere, Spurs and Thomas Frank's woes roll on, with a decision on the Danish manager's future set to be made, while Unai Emery delivered a raft of bizarre comments in a wild post-match interview following his side's 1-0 loss to Everton."
"Outside of recruitment blunders, consistent criticism of the club's ownership and a managerial roundabout, there is one fact that's arguably more true of United than any other Premier League club. They simply can't move on from an era of glory. Under Sir Alex Ferguson, United won mountains of trophies and had a selection of the world's best players in their ranks."
Michael Carrick began his interim Manchester United tenure with a 2-0 victory over Manchester City. The interim appointment exposes deeper problems at the club beyond a single result. Manchester United struggle to move on from the Sir Alex Ferguson era despite numerous changes in personnel and management. The club has not won the Premier League since 2012/13 and has passed through many permanent and interim managers. Former players frequently return in managerial roles, reinforcing influence from club 'old boys'. Tottenham face ongoing issues with Thomas Frank's future undecided, and Unai Emery made strange comments after a 1-0 loss to Everton.
