MANCHESTER, Oct 26 — Winless in eight games and hovering just above the Premier League relegation zone, struggling Manchester United are facing the prospect of yet another managerial change, with Michael Carrick likely to pay the price.
The former United midfielder was warmly applauded by fans as he made his way down the tunnel after his team’s chastening 3-0 defeat by Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Moments later a chorus of boos erupted as the players left the pitch — with fans clear in their minds where the blame lies for United’s current malaise.
Carrick was handed a two-year deal in May after inspiring an impressive revival following the team’s struggles under Ruben Amorim — United secured third place in the Premier League and a return to the Champions League.
