Ryan Giggs was right with viral Liverpool collapse claim - Man Utd sacking Michael Carrick proves it

Manchester United are in the Premier League relegation zone with just one win in ten games, prompting Carrick's imminent sacking and talks with Pochettino.

Manchester United head into the November international break in the Premier League relegation zone, having won just one of their 10 games this season — their lowest position at this stage since 1986/87. Michael Carrick is on the verge of being sacked, with club officials meeting in Monaco to decide his future. The club has opened talks with United States head coach Mauricio Pochettino about taking over.

The article revisits Ryan Giggs' infamous 2011 claim that United would "never collapse like Liverpool", made ahead of an FA Cup tie when Liverpool were in their 21st year without a title. Giggs argued that Sir Alex Ferguson's management and squad-building ensured sustained success.

However, since Ferguson's retirement 13 years ago, United have won the Premier League only twice more (2012, 2013) and have never truly challenged for the title since, qualifying for the Champions League just twice in that period.
