Who's to blame for Manchester United's decline? Ranking the biggest culprits
Story updated
The story in brief
6-second readA humiliating 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth proves sacking Michael Carrick will not fix the institutional dysfunction running through executive leadership and ownership
From the source
Another season, another Manchester United crisis. No longer does the end of daylight savings time herald the harsh winter ahead. Instead, it is the boos that ring around Old Trafford as the United faithful turn their ire on the same owners, the same executives and the same players, well aware it will be a different coach that pays the price.
Sunday's 3-0 defeat to AFC Bournemouth was remarkable only for the sheer unremarkability of it. In the 74 years after their first meeting in the 1949 FA Cup third round, Bournemouth won three games against Manchester United.
In the last two years they have won three games: all at Old Trafford, all 3-0. Freddie Kruger is treading the boards at the Theatre of Dreams.
