Former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf has warned that Manchester United could face relegation if they continue to keep Michael Carrick in charge. Speaking to ESPN FC, Leboeuf said the club has “no solution” and that the Red Devils may soon have no choice but to part ways with Carrick.
Leboeuf, who has a long history in English football, added:
“Nothing is getting good; we don’t see any improvement.”He went on to say he is all for Carrick but believes there will come a time when “there will be no other choice but getting rid of him.”
The warning comes after United’s 4‑4 draw with Aston Villa on Sunday, which left the club in the relegation zone of the Premier League table. The 20‑team competition sees the bottom three clubs relegated to the Championship each season.
Leboeuf’s comments echo growing concerns among United supporters that the team’s recent form has not improved. The club’s position in the bottom three places it at risk of dropping out of the top flight if results do not change.
As the Premier League season progresses, United’s management will need to decide whether to retain Carrick or seek a new direction to avoid the threat of relegation highlighted by the former defender.
