In short

Manchester United's recent 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth extended their winless streak to eight matches across all competitions. Although fans showed appreciation for Michael Carrick's previous Champions League qualification campaign, Gary Neville asserted that United's board is only keeping him due to an absence of viable replacements. Neville also directed his criticism toward the Glazer family, pointing to heavy financial liabilities and a 13-year league title drought. Carrick is still expected to lead the side into their upcoming weekend fixture against Chelsea.
