HAVE YOUR SAY: Manchester United have ploughed through managers since Sir Alex Ferguson's exit 13 years ago with Michael Carrick currently retaining the faith of the hierarchy

Manchester United have dropped into the relegation zone after the weekend's results but Michael Carrick remains in situ.

The Red Devils are in the midst of their worst ever run of results in the Premier League era, winning just one of their opening ten games, but so far the board have stuck by their former player, who was only appointed in the summer.

Previous managers have been axed for far less, but there's no doubt the United hierarchy have not prepared for a change of manager this early in the season. Former bosses may wish they were afforded such patience with the club sacking six permanent managers since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement.

David Moyes lasted the shortest time, receiving his marching orders after just 10 months. Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho represented a shift, going after big name bosses, but despite winning honours they were both moved on after less than two and a half years.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's near three year tenure was ended in 2021 after a string of bad results, and he cannot say he was not backed by the club.

Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim have both been dismissed over the past two years, but did any of the club's recent bosses warrant longer than they got?
