United's next game will be a week away after the 1-0 home defeat to Wolves, so interim manager Ronnick has given the team two days off to rest and recover.
At Old Trafford, Ronnick's Manchester United performance was sluggish, basically the whole game was subject to people, experts and fans questioned whether he and the team were capable of turning the situation around.
The 63-year-old Lonnick also became the first United manager to hear boos at the Theatre of Dreams, as red Devils fans booed as he decided to replace Mason Greenwood with Bruno Fernandez in the 15th minute of the second half.
After the game, Lonnick explained that he didn't want to replace any of the six in midfield, but the game forced him to adjust, so he chose to remove Aoki in greenwood and Cavani because United's threats came from the wing, and Cavani's ability to grab points was better than Greenwood.
Manchester United's next match is the FA Cup round 3 against Aston Villa, which will not be played until next Monday, so Lonnick's two-day holiday arrangement is actually a normal operation. It's just that the Red Devils are in an abnormal state at the moment, the team is obviously lacking in training, and the effect of two days off is unpredictable.
United veteran Paul Ince has been blunt in his view that United have not improved at all since Lonnick took office. "Has United improved since Ronnick took over? Honestly, I don't think so." Ince analyzed, "This reminds me of the situation when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer first took charge of Manchester United, he also faced a relaxed schedule, the opponents were cardiff City, and he received the dividend of Mourinho's dismissal, the players did not like Mourinho, the atmosphere was bad. After Ole took charge, the schedule was good, he changed the system, made the players happy and they kept winning. We all thought United were starting to move forward, but that was an illusion. Now, I feel the same way. Lonnick started unbeaten, but if you ask Manchester United fans, have you seen progress in the last 5 games. You have to say no."
The day after United's defeat, legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who watched the match live, met with Carrick at an Italian restaurant in Wilmslow, Cheshire. According to the British "Sun" newspaper, on Tuesday morning, Furjue and Carrick talked for more than two hours.
Prior to Lonnick's arrival, Carrick led United to three games as firefighting coach, successfully advancing from the Champions League group stage and drawing with Chelsea and beating Arsenal. Subsequently, Carrick chose to resign and leave, not to serve as Lonnick's assistant coach.
The content of The conversation between Furjue and Carrick has not been reported at present. The two walked into the "Casa Italia" restaurant together at 10 a.m., and no one else joined, they walked out of the restaurant together at 12:15 and shook hands at the door to say goodbye.
The 40-year-old Carrick played for Sir Furs for seven years as a player, and in 2006 he joined Fromttenham for a transfer fee of £18 million, and the old man announced his retirement in 2013.
There is no indication that Carrick's meeting with Verde is related to the possible return to Manchester United. In saying goodbye to Manchester United, Carrick made it clear that he would spend more time with his family and make good on the promise he made to his wife Lisa when he hung up his boots.
As a result, United fans don't have to expect Carrick to return to Carrington, and the dilemma the team is facing now is not something that can be easily solved by one or two people.
