Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick could be facing the sack following Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth at Old Trafford

Carrick is a scapegoat - the Old Trafford faithful know who is to blame at Man Utd

Michael Carrick was the man standing in the eye of the storm on the Old Trafford touchline, but the chant from the stands made clear the feelings of the Manchester United supporters.

After being taunted by the jubilant Bournemouth fans with shouts of "you're getting sacked in the morning", the United faithful issued their response. It was unequivocal support for their beleaguered boss.

The Sky Sports cameras then honed in on two of the other architects of the current mess at United: Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox. The United chiefs are responsible for the decision to hire Carrick as the full-time manager in the summer and they were also behind the lopsided transfer window which saw £155million spent on midfielders and nothing elsewhere.
