Sad news about a relative made this a difficult weekend. Football offered a welcome distraction: I watched a brilliant, competitive 1–1 girls’ grassroots game full of creativity and combinations, followed by more “wow” moments in this afternoon’s Pre-Academy games. ⚽

Thinking about how much someone can mean to us—their wit, their warmth and the laughter we shared. Holding those memories close and sending love to everyone missing someone today. ❤️ #heartbroken

If I were Michael Carrick. I would play the youth players, it may be a transition like Barcelona. Build a team, they should have enough quality, energy, and potential to survive relegation. Let the players who want to leave, or work hard to play. #trustinyouth
