Damning data: stats that show Michael Carrick’s luck was bound to run out | Andrew Beasley

The story in brief
10-second readFavourable conditions and the rub of the green were behind Manchester United’s successful finish to last season Manchester United have been the third‑best team in the Premier League with Michael Carrick as their head coach.
From the source
Manchester United have been the third‑best team in the Premier League with Michael Carrick as their head coach. It is some effort for his job to be so under threat when only Arsenal (57 points) and Manchester City (56) have been more productive than United (46) during the 45-year-old’s tenure.
The tally obscures pertinent facts. United topping the Premier League during his 17‑match interim spell last season is irrelevant when they sit 16th with no win in eight games in all competitions this season.
Losing narrowly against City is one thing, but three-goal defeats by Como and Bournemouth will surely spell managerial change.
