From the Beeb.

Which Premier League manager is most at risk?

Alvaro Arbeloa 3%

Regis Le Bris 4%

Michael Carrick 64%

Oliver Glasner 7%

Pierre Sage 15%

Roberto de Zerbi 2%

Other 6%

A Bournemouth win this afternoon should be enough to end Carrick's time in charge. Not that a change of manager will make any difference.

They should sack him then re-employ him as interim manager, he did pretty well before signing permanent contract.

Carrick in!

I am really hoping for a United win. Bouremouth are more likely to stay near the relegation zone than United and we need to keep as many teams below us as possible.

What a great club man Fernandes is............

Sage and Carrick looking extremely vulnerable right now as results currently stand

When Untied went down 0-3 Old Trafford was ringing with Carrick's chant comparing him to Scholes. It's very clear very few at United (fans) think its his fault.

Before Carrick leaves he should ask Fernandes... "Show me your medals"

Can anyone look up what the latest into the season a Manager was sacked during the Premier League era

Are you asking when was the latest first sacking in a PL season? If so, that was in the inaugural season (92-93), when the first (and only) sacking occurred in February when Chelsea fired Ian Porterfield.

At least ManUre won't come sniffing around Fulham for a replacement for Carrick. Villa should be worried though.

Many thanks @Chi_FFC

Great research. That's a record I'm confident will never be broken

I'd struggle to think of anyone who would want to take on that job.

I don't think Emery will go to Utd. Villa, as big a club as it is, has a stable foundation and by heck they have a decent scouting department. After their fire sale in the summer, the replacements in look pretty handy, and Jackson needs to have an off day next Saturday or we are toast.

United meanwhile have owners who don't have a clue, they are now totally broke after splashing £200m again on dross, and players behind the scenes who've downed tools and are sniping at the board and each other.

Old Toilet is a poisoned chalice.

I dunno. 3-5 year contract at 5 million a year with a good chance of being paid off within 12 months. Be attractive to a few.
