Roy Keane has blamed Manchester United's decay on Sir Alex Ferguson 'hanging on like a bad smell'.
The Old Trafford legend, who famously fell out with Sir Alex in 2005, believes United's powerbrokers are holding the club back with weak decision-making.
Caretaker manager Darren Fletcher admitted he asked for Ferguson's blessing before taking on the role - despite the Scot retiring in 2013.
Yet Fergie's old boy could only muster a 2-2 draw at Burnley and Keane fears the slid will only continue unless United's chiefs make the right choice about the future manager.
