Have Man Utd become the unmanageable club?

Manchester United’s latest run of poor results has renewed questions about whether the club’s problems extend beyond its managers. Michael Carrick is under pressure after a seven-game winless run, amid criticism from players and another heavy defeat, while the article argues that repeated managerial dismissals point to deeper failures in leadership and decision-making.

Carrick is the seventh full-time manager since Sir Alex Ferguson left in 2013; David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, José Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim all preceded him, and each was dismissed. Van Gaal, Mourinho and Ten Hag won domestic or European trophies, but United have not restored their former dominance. The article traces the decline to the botched succession after Ferguson and says senior figures have repeatedly struggled to appoint a manager and set a stable direction.
