The death spiral has begun for Michael Carrick at Manchester United. It now looks inevitable that he will become the latest poor soul sacrificed at the altar of a huge football club that looks incapable of fixing the deep rooted structural issues that deny any hope of a return to former glories. John Brewin, Jonathan Wilson and Jack Pitt-Brooke ask how much of this is Carrick's fault and what has precipitated his rapid fall from the highs of last season's resurgence. Attention then turns to the real causes of United's waning power, the flawed ownership of Glazers and the false dawn of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's arrival.
