Graeme Souness claims the calamitous day-to-day running of Manchester United since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement is evidenced by club chiefs previously handing new contracts to Phil Jones and Juan Mata.
The Red Devils have endured a sharp decline since Ferguson departed in 2013, only adding one FA Cup, one EFL Cup and one Europa League to the cabinet since then. United's poor on-pitch performance and frivolous spending in the transfer market has led to the Old Trafford hierarchy coming under serious scrutiny.
Ed Woodward left his position as executive vice-chairman earlier this year and there is a new power structure in place, led by CEO Richard Arnold. Souness believes the new regime has very little margin for error after years of "poor footballing decisions" at Old Trafford, including those which saw Jones and Mata extend their stays.
