Michael Carrick looks set to be sacked after a 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth, coming off the 4-1 loss at Como. Ed and Daniel go through the game and the week around it: Bruno Fernandes criticising the staff in public then sitting on the bench without being ued.
Then the disintegration of Carrick’s time at United, with the manager increasingly reaching for odd solutions as the season fell apart.
With the squad giving Carrick very little in recent weeks, the conversation turns to the owners and executives who decide what happens next. The same guys who picked Ten Hag and Amorim and Carrick decide who’s next, with Eddie Howe probably the favourite.
In the short term United need to manage the crisis, but with a summer of expiring contracts and more investment needed than is likely, does a new manager change anything?
