The co-host of the Devil's Advocate podcast, Gaz Drinkwater, believes the "writing is on the wall" for Michael Carrick and that the former Manchester United midfielder will be sacked by Christmas. After five league matches, United sit 12th in the table on five points - their joint-worst return at this stage of a Premier League season. A late Matheus Cunha equaliser helped spare Carrick's blushes against Fulham and avoided United going into the long international break on the back of three straight defeats in all competitions.
