Manchester United head into their clash with Chelsea on Sunday in disarray, having sacked manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer following their 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Watford last time out in the Premier League.
Caretaker (for the caretaker) boss Michael Carrick helped United earn a morale-boosting victory in the Champions League on Tuesday night, but the club's problems are still piled high.
The hunt for Solskjaer's temporary replacement looks to have been closed with the signing of Ralf Rangnick, but a permanent solution must still be found. Meanwhile, on the pitch several key players are badly out of form, talisman Bruno Fernandes has been dropped, and they are in desperate need of positive league results after suffering five defeats in their last seven games, including harrowing defeats by Liverpool and Manchester City.
