The Story in 60 Seconds

Steven Gerrard believes Manchester United manager Michael Carrick may struggle to survive the international break if his team loses to Aston Villa on Sunday. Despite Carrick's side ending a nine-match winless streak with a Champions League comeback victory against Roma, United sit 17th in the Premier League without a league win since late August.

Speaking on TNT Sports, Gerrard noted that while a defeat could jeopardize Carrick's position, the manager is far from the club's biggest issue. Gerrard argued that inconsistent players and shortcomings from the board have undermined multiple Manchester United managers in recent years.
