Nine matches without a win in the Premier League and a relegation spot: Manchester United is experiencing its worst crisis in decades, and Michael Carrick would pay dearly for this rout.
The spectacular draw against Aston Villa (4-4) was merely a poultice on a wooden leg for Manchester United. With this ninth consecutive match without a win in the championship, the Mancunian club now finds itself in the relegation zone, a situation almost unthinkable for one of the giants of English football.
The international break that lies ahead offers a welcome respite to the players, but not to their manager. Michael Carrick, who took the reins of the team after the chaotic departure of Ole Gunnar Solskjær, seems doomed. Rumors of an imminent sacking are circulating insistently in the corridors of Old Trafford. The board would already have started scouting for a replacement.
This rout raises questions about the future of the club. How can an institution of this magnitude sink so low? The problems are multiple: porous defense, inconsistent attack, and a squad that desperately lacks cohesion. The supporters, traditionally loyal, are beginning to show their impatience.
Sir Alex Ferguson's legacy seems increasingly distant. Manchester United must now find balance and a long-term project to climb back up the slope. The next appointment at the head of the technical staff will be decisive for the seasons to come.
