Adult content creator and Manchester United fan Skylar Skye has been left “so upset” after the club sacked manager Michael Carrick on Thursday morning. She had previously vowed to post bra pictures every day until the legendary midfielder was dismissed.
Fan's Vow and Reaction
Skylar, who has 182,000 followers on X, quickly responded to the news by posting a video. In it, she rolled up her United top to reveal a pink see-through bra with green, white and red floral patterns.
She said: “I’m actually so upset about Carrick, like how many managers are we going to go through before we realise it’s not the managers that are the problem. It’s the people running the club.”
Her fans discussed the sacking in the comments. One user argued: “Yes but easier to get rid of one instead of people above him.” Another reshared one of her earlier tweets, which read: “How hasn’t Carrick been sacked yet???”
Club's Struggles and Carrick's Exit
United have won just once in 10 league games and are sitting inside the relegation zone during the international break. Carrick arrived at Carrington at 7:50am on Thursday and waved to reporters before being informed of the decision in person by executives Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox.
Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe met with the executives in Monaco on Wednesday to finalise the decision.
Replacement and Costs
Mauricio Pochettino is set to take over after reaching an agreement earlier this week. United will pay compensation to buy him out of his contract with the USA squad, reported to be around £7million, while sacking Carrick is expected to cost around £5m.
Skylar has already shown support for Pochettino, posting another picture of herself in a United kit with a black bra dotted with red and pink hearts, captioned: “Boobs out for Pochettino!”
