The story in brief
9-second readMichael Carrick is now a little more pre-doomed, pre-sacked, but is miles away from being the actual story On and on and on. And then on just a little bit more it would seem.
From the source
On and on and on. And then on just a little bit more it would seem. Manchester United: always crashing in the same Carrick. The obvious question after this 2-0 defeat to Chelsea is how much longer United will continue to lose games under the current manager, as opposed to losing games under the next one.
But it is also a mark of the dysfunction of this club, its ambient levels of sadness, that this matters so little.
