Manchester United sit 16th in the Premier League, just one point above the relegation zone, following a 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth on Sunday.
Head coach Michael Carrick, 45, was widely expected to be dismissed after the loss, but the club has opted to keep him in charge for Saturday's trip to Chelsea.
Neville's perspective
Former United captain Gary Neville said on the Stick to Football podcast that the club's indecision reflects a lack of planning and available options. "Sometimes a manager needs sacking for their own good," Neville said, referencing his own experience at Valencia.
Player unrest
Captain Bruno Fernandes had criticised Carrick's tactics after a 4-1 Champions League defeat at Como and was dropped for the Bournemouth match. The pair have since held talks to clear the air.
Fan reaction
United fans sang Carrick's name after the Bournemouth defeat, which Neville described as "effectively a farewell lap," before booing the players once Carrick left the pitch.
Potential replacements
It is understood the club has explored replacing Carrick with former Newcastle boss Eddie Howe or former Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann.
Former players weigh in
Jamie Carragher suggested Carrick would want to be "put out of his misery," while Roy Keane said the players are running the show and know Carrick is gone.
