Football365 argued in an opinion column about Manchester United's problems that the club could see multiple departures, including manager Michael Carrick.
Carrick's position
Football365 wrote that, at the time of writing, Michael Carrick had not yet been sacked. It added that he might have been sacked by the time of reading and that very soon he would have been sacked.
Wilcox and fan anger
Football365 wrote that Jason Wilcox is the most likely man to find himself a casualty during the current round of blood-letting. It also wrote that Lisandro Martinez fingered Wilcox specifically in his rant about United's underperformance in the transfer window.
Football365 wrote that Wilcox, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the players were on the receiving end of much of the fans' anger. It said that when Wilcox first arrived he reported to sporting director Dan Ashworth, but that this changed when Dan Ashworth failed to survive the failed transition from Erik Ten Hag to Amorim.
Vivell and boardroom factions
Football365 wrote that Christopher Vivell is amid mounting reports that he feels he is being marginalised. It also wrote that whispers and rumours indicate two factions within the United boardroom: those who back Eddie Howe, and those who want Julian Nagelsmann.
Football365 wrote that Vivell is, by all accounts and unsurprisingly, a key figure in the Nagelsmann camp. It added that the latest indications are that Vivell will not emerge on the winning side of this internecine conflict.
Berrada and Ratcliffe
Football365 wrote that Omar Berrada arrived at United in 2024. It said that Berrada held very senior roles at Manchester City from 2011 onwards and eventually became chief operating officer in 2016.
Football365 also wrote that Ratcliffe came in as part-owner of Manchester United, and that the Glazers sold 25% of the club to Ratcliffe and INEOS.
