Steve McClaren

Fans chanted for McClaren’s dismissal at the relegation-threatened club during Saturday’s 3-1 home defeat to Bournemouth.

And there were top-level talks today over McClaren’s future at the club.

However, the discussions, led by managing director Lee Charnley, did not lead to a decisive outcome.

While the 54-year-old remains in charge, United could yet make a managerial change before Monday night’s game at Leicester City.
