Jamie Carragher believes a change of management would result in an upturn in Manchester United’s performances.
Jose Mourinho is facing a fresh wave of speculation surrounding his future at Old Trafford following a 3-1 loss to their bitter rivals Liverpool FC at Anfield on Sunday.
Goals from Sadio Mane and Xherdan Shaqiri sealed three points and left Liverpool FC a staggering 19 points ahead of Manchester United in the title race.
The Red Devils finished in second place ahead of Liverpool FC last season but a top-four spot looks an unlikely target for the 20-time English champions this term.
Only Cardiff, Fulham, Southampton and Burnley have conceded more goals than Manchester United in the Premier League table this season.
Mourinho won the Europa League and the League Cup in his first season in charge after the Portuguese head coach took over the reins from Louis van Gaal in May 2016.
Manchester United finished in second place in the FA Cup and the Premier League last term but Mourinho’s side are regressing in the current campaign.
Former Liverpool FC defender Carragher believes Manchester United need to end Mourinho’s spell in charge at Old Trafford.
Carragher told Sky Sports: “Watching them throughout the season, are they a team that are good enough to win the league? No.
“Are they a team that should be sixth in the league? No.
“Liverpool just have the edge but there isn’t a massive gulf in the quality of players Liverpool have compared to Manchester United. But is Mourinho getting enough out of the players? No, he’s nowhere near.
“He is a top manager but things haven’t quite gone well for him at Manchester United. His cycle as a manager has always been two or three years, he absolutely rips things up in the first 18 months and then he probably wears people out.
“The only way it will change for United is a change in the hot seat.”
Manchester United booked their place in the Champions League round of 16 earlier this month before finishing the group stage with a 2-1 loss at Valencia.
