Carrick has been warned not to sign players based solely on their 2026 FIFA World Cup performances

Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson has advised current manager Michael Carrick against making transfer decisions based solely on impressive performances at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Manchester United have been linked with several players who have impressed during the World Cup in North America, including Mexico's teenage sensation Gilberto Mora and Morocco midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi.

However, Ferguson believes international tournaments can often create misleading impressions of players.

The former United manager admitted he made a similar mistake after UEFA Euro 1996 by signing players whose tournament performances did not translate into consistent club success.

"I was always wary of buying players on the back of good tournament performances," Ferguson said.

He added, "I did it at the 1996 Euros, which prompted me to move for Jordi Cruyff and Karel Poborsky."

The Scot acknowledged that while both players excelled during the tournament, they failed to replicate that level consistently at Old Trafford.

He continued, "Both had excellent runs in that tournament, but I didn't receive the kind of value their countries did that summer.

Sometimes players get themselves motivated and prepared for World Cups and European Championships and after that there can be a levelling off."

Copied.

God told Abraham to leave where he was and go to a place where God would bless him abundantly. That new place is Abraham's home.
Abraham would have been a failure and completely messed up big time if he still remained where he was.

I hated the number 4 phone.
Those “ big boys” would parade Moremi Hall in their cars shouting into it … call ma at Nine Naught 45 blah blah blah. I’d be talking with a girl/class mate and trying to summon courage when the message arrives to take her away.
I can’t wait to return to Unilag and return the favour …

Lolzzz of the greatest gba gba!!!

It's like the Chelsea players don't know what to do with the ball ⚽. I think they even forget that they are competing! Enzo Fernandez is highly overrated. Lavia impressed

Baba that guy Enzo no sabi play, there is not a single attribute of a good midfielder he is excellent at.

Shey na final third pass?
Shey na shot power?
Retention and control of a game he no get.
Goal scoring nko, e no dey.
Vision to create chances nko he no get.

He is just a regular average midfielder.
Instead of the guy chelsea should have for a player like Eze.

The ''son of God'' flew down to Earth and showed he was the ''son of a God'' by changing water to wine in a party.

And then he walked into the middle of the ocean without sinking.

Just walking on top of the ocean, magically.

Because he's the ''son of God''.

A story for kindergarten kids.

No wonder they drill it into their heads when they are children.

Most Nigerians are dubious, opportunitistic and hypocritical. Even those who complain about the thief who made this news aren't any better; they just don't have that opportunity.

Like say we no dey see how Nigerians dey take behave for their different work places and businesses.

Just put an average Nigerian in any position to manage a resource, na how he go take dey chop and clean mouth for there he go dey find.

Nigeria will only begin to experience change when our people change all dz "money must be made at all cost" mentality. U go hear all way na way but u want change to come by a miracle.

Replace this Betty lady with any of these persons complaining that Nigeria is finished, I tell u he most like will do worse.

We never ready, we need to go back to the basics ethically and morally as a nation for change to come.

I schooled in the SW Mr. Man and before I left for school I didn't know anything about any colours cultists use and even while in school, I heard nothing of them (unless those from the mushroom schools in town) because my school then had ZERO tolerance for cultism, your reality is different from other people's realities so just ignore the thread if you have no reasonable contribution and let the OP continue his good work.

OAU Ife most def... Zero tolerance since Africa

Bitter truth tho....makes me cry�

Biggest points so far. Reason the scriptures says to "Be strong in the Lord..."

No matter who you are , you will at some point in life find yourself in situations nobody can help you, Not that they don't even want to help but they just can't, you will be left all to yourself, in fact you may have people around but you know too well that you are alone in the said situation.

The Philistines said to themselves " Quit yourselves like men..."
