Manchester United match unwanted record from all the way back in 1988

Manchester United are now winless in their last nine games in all competitions – their worst run since 1988. Or to put it a more optimistic way, Michael Carrick has done something no other Man Utd manager has managed since the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson. Still, this is now surely the end for Carrick at Old Trafford , with his side once again looking far from good enough as they were beaten 2-0 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this afternoon.
