Manchester United are a club in crisis.

The Red Devils are far and away the most successful club in Premier League history - but currently lie 10th after losing three of their opening seven fixtures.

Jose Mourinho's position is under huge pressure and rumours are circling that he's about to be sacked, even if he beats Newcastle on Saturday evening.

Speaking live on Sky Sports, Gary Neville launched a stunning tirade towards the Man United board after being informed of the reports.

Neville said: "If this is true and it has broken the day before it's going to happen and he's going to be sacked at the weekend, it's an absolute disgrace.

"Where are the values and the principles of Manchester United if this is true?

"Enough is enough for me. I absolutely love that football club, I absolutely love it to death. It's been my life, it's given me everything and I'm not turning on my football club.

"But I have to say something has to change and it isn't the manager. It's above that. 

"I'm furious that a report has broken out."

Sky Sports colleague Jamie Carragher has responded to Neville's rant, offering his take on Man United's current situation.

Neville, an impassioned Man United fan, took aim at Ed Woodward - but Carragher, who is able to offer an outside perspective, thinks there is far more to it.

"I think he [Neville] is right - although there's more problems than just the board," said Carragher on Soccer AM, as per Sky Sports.

"He knows Manchester United better than anyone. He's as passionate about United as any fan. You can see that in the interview. I think people love it when a pundit speaks so passionately - it's emotional.

"He's not putting on an act - it's real the way he feels about his own club. I couldn't argue with what he said."

"You do have to look at the players, are they doing enough? The manager himself, too.

"Gary has defended Jose Mourinho. I think we all feel for managers as they are the ones in the spotlight and deal with all the criticism.

"They are the ones in front of the cameras three or four times a week answering questions, other people can hind behind that.

"Everyone at Manchester United has got to do a lot more.

"They are great supporters at Manchester United - they haven't really turned on the manager or the players too much as it hasn't been good enough, nowhere near good enough for Manchester United - the results and the football being played.

Man Utd to beat Newcastle 3-1 (12/1)*

"I said on Monday Night Football it can get to the stage where it becomes untenable and you have to make a change for everybody.

"I hate the fact that players can get a manager out - I said that he's lost the dressing room but I don't like saying those words. As a player you just go out and play. I didn't play for a manager, I played for Liverpool and I wanted to win for myself and the club.

"That's what those players should be doing. As a manager your job is to manage, including managing the dressing room and the team.

"There's fingers to be pointed at everyone."

Carragher's right - the finger of blame should be pointed in a number of directions, not just Ed Woodward.

Man United have not even challenged for a league title since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.

A complete overhaul is needed at Old Trafford.
