Jose Mourinho's future at Manchester United is under threat after a shock 3-1 defeat at West Ham, according to club legend Rio Ferdinand.
Felipe Anderson's early strike, a Victor Lindelof own-goal and Marko Arnautovic's finish left Mourinho increasingly feeling the heat.
The drama at Old Trafford is rapidly turning into a crisis as United equalled their worst start to a Premier League season with just 10 points from their opening seven matches.
Their record matches that of United four years ago under David Moyes, who did not see out the season.

It was a desperate end to a miserable week which saw United knocked out of the EFL Cup by Derby and Mourinho's relationship with record signing Paul Pogba become even more fractured.
Despite taking the vice-captaincy off Pogba Mourinho started the Frenchman at the London Stadium, although he was taken off after a pedestrian 69-minute display.
Alexis Sanchez was a notable absentee from the squad, while Mourinho stationed midfielder Scott McTominay as a centre-half in a back three.
Following the result, Ferdinand told BT Sport: "As a a footballer your DNA is about hard work and effort. I didn't see that today.
Referencing executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, Mourinho and the players, Ferdinand added on BT Sport: "There are some big decisions to be made at Manchester United. At the moment there doesn't seem to be that togetherness.
"There has to be improvements. The basics are not being done. There has to be something done."
Ferdinand's former United team-mate Scholes said the players had to be held accountable, adding: "I wonder if the quality is there as well. Are these players really good enough. They're not really showing that they are."
