In the eight years since United's last Premier League title under Alex Ferguson in 2013, David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho, all experienced and respected managers, failed to make the team even close to being genuine title contenders.
More than a quarter of Premier League clubs have changed managers this season but unlike teams such as Tottenham, who swiftly replaced Nuno Espirito Santo with Antonio Conte or Aston Villa who swapped Dean Smith for Steven Gerrard, United have no plan in place for Solskjaer's successor. That status for Carrick not only suggests a lack of confidence in his ability but also indicates that United have no clear idea of who they want to take charge in the long term.
United could attempt to poach a manager from another club but their desire for a short-term appointment indicates they do not plan such an approach now.In most top clubs, the search for a manager would be the responsibility of a Director of Football, or senior leadership figures such as Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain at Manchester City.
The Florida-based Glazer family have owned United since 2005 and have faced fan opposition from the moment they completed their takeover and the leading role they played in the failed attempt to launch the European Super League.
