The story in brief

From the source
Manchester United have reached a familiar point, poor league form, boardroom hesitation and no obvious clean fix. According to Sky Sports, the club are “unlikely to appoint another interim head coach” if they decide to remove Michael Carrick in the coming weeks.
That matters, because it tells you this is no longer about short-term firefighting. It is about whether the people in charge believe Carrick can still steer this season away from collapse.
The facts are ugly enough. United have won “just one of his last 10 games in charge”, they sit 17th in the Premier League and are “only outside the relegation places on goal difference”.
