Man Utd news LIVE: Follow all the latest updates from Old Trafford

MORNING, UNITED FANS

Michael Carrick rocked United by departing – after Cristiano Ronaldo did the same to Arsenal by scoring twice.

Stand-in boss Carrick sensationally quit Old Trafford after 15 years as a player and coach as new interim boss Ralf Rangnick watched the 3-2 comeback win over Arsenal.

Recalled Ron’s second-half double made him the first modern player past 800 goals for club and country as he put the counter-attacking Red Devils seventh.

Emile Smith Rowe’s controversial Arsenal opener as United keeper David de Gea lay injured was cancelled out by Bruno Fernandes.

Ronaldo then struck two sweet goals, including a penalty clincher, either side of Martin Odegaard’s reply.

Ex-England midfielder Carrick, 40, said: “My time at this great club will always rank as the best years of my career.

“When I first signed, I never in my wildest dreams could have imagined winning so many trophies and I will certainly never forget the fantastic memories both as a player and as a member of the coaching team.

“However, after a lot of thought and deliberation, I have decided that now is the right time for me to leave the club.”

Finally, wing legend Robert Pires has sensationally revealed he was to blame for Arsenal team-mate Patrick Vieira’s infamous tunnel scrap with Red Devils’ rival Roy Keane in 2005.

Transfer-wise, United’s West Ham target Jesse Lingard is now being linked with Newcastle.

And Inter and AC Milan both reportedly want Alex Telles, but it’s claimed the Red Devils won’t offload the Brazil left-back in January.
