Another deplorable showing from Michael Carrick and Manchester United on Sunday saw Bournemouth take all three points at Old Trafford in a 3-0 away win.
Man United are now floating around the relegation zone and Carrick seems on the verge of being granted his exit papers.
With moral at an all-time low, and stability a non-factor at Carrington, the circus in the red side of Manchester continues.
Sacking imminent
"It is going to get ridiculously difficult for Michael Carrick to be Manchester United manager moving forward. That's the problem the club have got," Gary Neville said during Sky Sports' match commentary.
"They are probably going to sack him. Tomorrow, they will probably make a decision that will disgust Manchester United fans but it is probably necessary,” Neville added on his podcast after the game.

Best for both parties to part ways
"Michael Carrick needs to be relieved of his duties tonight," Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher said.
"Not just for the good of Manchester United but also for the good of Michael Carrick. It has become untenable."
Emery the number-one target
Carragher believes Aston Villa manager Unai Emery should top Man United’s list in their search for a new boss should Carrick be relieved of his duties.
"He is a manager I look at when I think about Manchester United," Carragher said.
"I think Emery is the best manager in the Premier League. But I've got this thing with him. Yes, his record in the Europa League is amazing, but surely somebody who is that successful wants to be known in the Champions League.
"He wants to win the Champions League. He's not going to do that at Aston Villa.
"He's had two experiences that haven't gone particularly well for him, Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal.
“And I just think surely he would want that opportunity to prove himself at an absolute giant of a football club. Sorry, Villa fans."
