Manchester United legend Gary Neville insists the club's problems are down to top officials and not Jose Mourinho or the playing squad.
Mourinho moved significantly close to the sack on Saturday when his team suffered a 3-1 defeat by West Ham at London Stadium.
Should he lose his job, he will be the third manager to be dismissed by executive vice chairman Ed Woodward since he took over from David Gill in 2013.
Gary Neville has placed the blame for Manchester United's struggles squarely on the hierarchy
Neville delivered the strong claim via Twitter on Sunday morning following United's latest loss
However Neville believes it should be Woodward and the executives around him who take the blame for Manchester United's continued fall from grace, saying their problems started when they failed to give David Moyes enough time to properly succeed Sir Alex Ferguson.
He wrote: 'This mess started when United sacked David Moyes after eight months and we lost all sense of the values that the club had been built on for 100 years.
'It's not the manager it's the lack of football leadership above him. They are bouncing all over the place with no plan!'
Replying to a man who suggested it was wrong to give Moyes the job in the first place, Neville wrote: 'That’s another question but when they sacked him after eight months it went into pinball , reactive mode and chasing it! No plan...'
The former England defender forms part of a growing group of fans who believe Woodward is behind Manchester United's failed succession plan following Ferguson's retirement in 2013.
In a sign of discontent, a banner calling the chief a 'specialist in failure' was flown over Turf Moor during Manchester United's 2-0 win over Burnley earlier this season.

Mourinho looks set to lose his job if he cannot turn Manchester United's form around very soon
Moyes has also been indirectly critical of Woodward when talking about his disastrous spell in charge of the Red Devils. The Scotsman has regularly claimed he was promised a raft of world-class signings in his first summer, but Marouane Fellaini turned out to be the only arrival.
It is becoming clear that Woodward, while thriving in the commercial sector of Manchester United's business, has struggled in the transfer market. Indeed, the club have spent over £700million on transfers since Ferguson left but only seem to be going backwards.
Mourinho lamented Woodward's failure to sign a new defender in the summer with the chief refusing to release more funds after forking out a combined £60m for Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof.
That failure appears to have exacerbated United's problems and they have now suffered the worst start to a season in 29 years. Their defeat by West Ham left them with just ten points from seven games, already trailing fourth-placed Tottenham by five points.
Yet it appears Mourinho would be the first to leave the club should it come down to it. Sportsmail understands players and staff were talking openly about the Portuguese losing his job as they traveled back to Manchester on Saturday evening.

Should he lose his job, he...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
