Michael Carrick has been given a stay of execution by Manchester United after the club considered making a fourth managerial change in four years following their defeat by Bournemouth.

Carrick, the club's eighth permanent boss since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013, came under major scrutiny after their poor start to the season continued with the 3-0 loss at Old Trafford.

But what if United aren't an elite team underperforming - what if they are in fact a mid-table team whose results have made them look better than they are in the post-Ferguson era?
