Michael Carrick has become the latest Manchester United manager to lose his job.  

He is the seventh full-time manager the club have dismissed following the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson, after the tenures of David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Erik Ten Hag and Ruben Amorim.  

He follows Amorim in losing his job despite not losing in his last game; but neither of those men could grumble quite as much as Louis van Gaal, who learned of his sacking as he was still celebrating winning the FA Cup.  

We take a look at the last stand for every permanent United manager in history.
