Neville says managers need sacking ‘for own good’ as Man Utd retain Carrick

Gary Neville says managers sometimes need to be dismissed “for their own good” as Manchester United persist with under-pressure boss Michael Carrick. Carrick’s future at Old Trafford has been the subject of intense speculation after a miserable run of eight games without a win. Sunday’s 3-0 humbling at home to Bournemouth left the English giants one point above the Premier League relegation zone. United have won just two of 12 matches in all competitions this season, with a return of seven points from eight league games representing their worst start to a league season in 40 years.
