Yes, the saga continues, and our time within the current cycle extends- sacking watch for the current Manchester United manager. Everyone just assumed that Michael Carrick would be gone after Sunday’s 3-0 loss to AFC Bournemouth, but here he is, still in charge. Carrick will lead United into the Halloween fixture at Chelsea, another big money club with some major problems right now, although their issues are nowhere near as serious as United’s currently are. It looks like the Carrick vs. Bruno Fernandes row is over, at least for now, as the team captain is reportedly available for Saturday.

Carrick dropped Fernandes this past weekend, after the Portugese midfielder seemingly called out Carrick’s tactics, in a postmatch interview, after the humilating loss at Como last week. However, Fernandes should be back in action this weekend. Marcus Rashford could be as well, as he is understood to be nearing full fitness after recovering from a groin issue, of some sort.
Both Rashford and Fernandes have been shadows of themselves this season, and their drop in form is just part of the wider problem with the Red Devils this season. The quality is just not there, and the losing persists.
