Manchester United crisis deepens with Chelsea defeat and Martínez red card

Manchester United's season hit a new low with a 2-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge, capped by Lisandro Martínez's late red card. The loss, coming after United squandered several clear chances, has intensified scrutiny on interim manager Michael Carrick, with speculation mounting that a new permanent boss could be appointed before their next match. Chelsea, despite a sluggish start, rallied through goals from Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson to claim all three points, easing pressure on their own project under Xabi Alonso. For United, the result echoes the chaotic end of Erik ten Hag's tenure, with legends like Gary Neville voicing fury and fans demanding change. With the club languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League table, the next managerial decision could define their season. The clock is ticking at Old Trafford.
