Former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf has issued a scathing assessment of Manchester United, warning that the club faces a genuine risk of relegation to the Championship if their slump continues.
Speaking on ESPN, Leboeuf voiced severe concerns over the club’s trajectory under Michael Carrick, insisting that fans have every reason to be alarmed by the current state of affairs.

“It’s been a while since you had to panic because we saw the games that they had. There is reason to panic and it’s been like that for a while,” Leboeuf stated.
The World Cup winner did not hold back in his criticism of the playing squad, questioning their commitment and suitability to wear the shirt.
“You can’t get rid of those players who don’t deserve to play for Manchester United, who aren’t good enough for Manchester United,” he added. “They don’t have the guts, the courage, the pride of fighting for the club.”

While expressing personal sympathy for Carrick, Leboeuf suggested the board may eventually be forced to make a managerial change if results fail to improve.
“Nothing is getting good, we don’t see any improvement, we don’t see how it can be better,” Leboeuf concluded. “Again, I’m all for Michael Carrick. But there is a time when there will be no other choices but getting rid of him. I don’t see any solution, I don’t see anything getting good, and if they carry on like that, you could see Manchester United getting relegated, which is amazing.”
