Copa Independent | This is Manchester Utd we’re talking about!

Lawrence Ostlere is joined by Richard Jolly and Kieran Jackson to discuss the ongoing Manchester United turmoil after Bournemouth’s 3-0 win at Old Trafford and the decision to keep Michael Carrick in charge for their next game against Chelsea despite an eight-game winless run.

With no clear succession plan, are the club just buying time ahead of a brutal run of fixtures and the international break?

They debate realistic managerial options, recruitment, squad flaws, and discuss whether a long-term rebuild akin to Arsenal’s is possible with the current hierarchy under Ratcliffe and INEOS.
