Meanwhile, over in England, a plan is reportedly being advised to sack Erik ten Hag with a potential replacement already having been identified, according to The Sun.
With Sir Jim Ratcliffe said to be in the process of securing a 25% stake in the club, he has already held a meeting with former Chelsea boss Graham Potter, who would be the British billionaire's first choice as a replacement for the Dutchman.
While some reports have suggested that Ten Hag is not in danger of losing his job in the near future, serious doubts have emerged regarding his long-term tenure at the club with the seemingly imminent arrival of Ratcliffe.
Some KO were in favour of United parting ways with its current boss while others suggested that the side's problem are bigger than just an issue with the manager. Check out what they had to say.
"They must sack the players as well coz now they have a new style of when a new manager comes they play well take us to Champions league position following season they become useless knowing the manager will be sucked," says Rinani Ndou.
"Ronaldo was made a scapegoat....Sancho was the best, Fred was a top performer, Varane was the best defender, De Gea saved them alot. This coach was used to managing kids and it is providing now," says Siyabonga Ayanda.
"They want to replace him with Graham Potter? It's a joke," says Gandamipfa Blackieswart Ram.
"The results of coaching with a TV licence," Bongani Mgubela.
"Even the special one could not succeed there," Tati Lemphane.
"Hope this is true, it's long overdue," says Alvin Trigger January.
"Give our own striker coach Benni the remaining season," Xolani Lastboy S'bonelo.
"The problem at United is beyond any manager, changing managers won’t solve anything," Fhix R Tsheole.
"The club's hierarchy would be joking this time if he is sacked instead of the players," Thabiso Moloto.
"Big mistake!" exclaims Seabe SB Lekopanye.
"Zinedine Zidane is available and currently he's not coaching any Club so Zinedine Zidane is a right man to coach Manchester United and assistant by Benni McCarthy or anybody who can speak fluent English because from where I'm sitting Zidane is a French speaking guy so somebody can be there to help him understand this language quickly," says Joas Ndhuma Chauke.
