Just when you think Manchester United have hit rock bottom, another level unlocks.
This week, we ask the unthinkable: are United actually in a relegation battle? With Michael Carrick under pressure, the goals drying up and confidence disappearing, we look at a brutal run of fixtures and ask where the next win is coming from.
We also debate whether Lisandro Martinez should be sold in January, what United should do with Bruno Fernandes, whether the youngsters should finally get their chance and who could realistically take over if Carrick goes. Unai Emery, Antonio Conte or Julian Nagelsmann?
Plus, Jamie Carragher vs Aston Villa, January panic buys, an Ole and Carrick managerial dream team and our predictions for Villa at Old Trafford.
It’s November, United are in the mud and somehow there might still be further to fall.
