  1. Who's in charge?

    As Andy and Gary have said, not all the anger from the fans is aimed at the manager or the players, but instead the club's hierarchy.

    Let's have a quick look at some of those people in power at Old Trafford.

    Focusing on Michael Carrick misses the root cause. The real scrutiny should belong on Jason Wilcox. His recruitment strategy has been erratic, and his execution has failed to address clear squad gaps. Weaknesses stem directly from Wilcox’s decisions, surely making him the primary figure accountable.

    Andy, Yorkshire

    Carrick is not to blame for everything that is wrong at United, but should go - clearly not "best in class". But Wilcox also should go. Until they act big, United will never be big again, time to get tough.

  3. Man Utd's current Premier League form

    Manchester United won their second Premier League match of the season, 5-2 at home against newly-promoted Ipswich Town.

    But United have not won a league match since then. These are the results from their past six Premier League matches.

  6. Man Utd expected to sack head coach Carrick

    Sami Mokbel and Simon Stone

    Manchester United look increasingly likely to sack head coach Michael Carrick.

    The club opted to stick with Carrick after the side's 3-0 home defeat by Bournemouth on 25 October, with the intention of reassessing the situation during this month's international break.

    Multiple sources have told BBC Sport that the board remain committed to that process, and that no final decision on Carrick's future has been made.

    However, there is a growing expectation that chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox will recommend to minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazer family for Carrick to be sacked.

    The 4-4 draw with Aston Villa on Sunday means United, who are 18th in the table, have made their worst start to a domestic campaign in 40 years.
