In this episode of the Manchester is Red podcast, Jack Flintham and Steven Railston react to the shocking reality that Michael Carrick has survived the sack at Manchester United, despite a disastrous run of just two wins in 12 games and a humiliating defeat to Bournemouth.
The lads break down the logistical nightmare of removing Carrick without a clear successor, the lack of perfect managerial candidates available, and how the current coaching setup complicates any interim appointments.
They also dive into the fallout from Bruno Fernandes's controversial off-pitch actions, Benjamin Sesko's devastating shin injury that rules him out until January, and whether Kobbie Mainoo's return to fitness can provide a much-needed spark against Chelsea this weekend.
