Wembley is hosting England, but Manchester United's problems have made it into the pitchside discussion. Asked whether the club has become unmanageable after Michael Carrick's departure, Roy Keane looks beyond the next appointment to the players still there.

The ITV Sport Short drew about 141,000 views in nine hours, an unusually quick start for the channel. Its comment section was already several times busier than a typical Short's full first day.

Keane acknowledges problems with the ownership and questions the experience Carrick brought to the permanent job. But the former United captain doesn't leave responsibility at the manager's door. He wants harder work and more pride from the squad, finishing with a blunt measure of how far standards can slip: "If people think it's easy to play against you, that's the biggest insult."

Ian Wright approaches the Pochettino links through the work awaiting any incoming coach. Fitness, commitment and time on the training ground are central to his assessment, rather than the idea that a different name alone will transform United. "He's gonna need a lot more commitment from the players," Wright says.

That question of responsibility carries into the comments. Viewers debate how much rests with the squad, recruitment and ownership rather than Carrick alone. Others ask why United's managerial situation is taking up airtime at an international match, a fair description of how far this Wembley conversation has travelled from England.
