Meulensteen attacks 'incapable' Man United: 'Carrick pays the price'

Meulensteen criticises United's direction under Ratcliffe, saying sacked manager Carrick is paying the price for the club's mistakes.

René Meulensteen, who worked as Sir Alex Ferguson's assistant during Manchester United's glory years, has launched a scathing critique of the club's current direction. Speaking to the BBC, the Dutchman argued that United has made fundamental errors since Jim Ratcliffe became co-owner.

Meulensteen singled out Michael Carrick, the recently sacked manager, as bearing the cost of the club's mismanagement, suggesting Carrick is being unfairly blamed for problems rooted in broader institutional failures at Old Trafford.
