Carrick Considers Punitive Action Against Fernandes After Critique
Michael Carrick, the manager of Manchester United, is contemplating punitive measures against club captain Bruno Fernandes after Fernandes publicly criticized Carrick's tactical decisions following a 4-1 defeat to Como in the Champions League. This loss extended United's winless streak to seven matches.
Carrick has not assured Fernandes a starting position for the upcoming Premier League fixture against Bournemouth at Old Trafford. When asked about the possibility of leaving Fernandes out of the squad, Carrick's response indicated that benching or complete omission remains a possibility.
Despite the public friction, Carrick intends to keep Fernandes as captain regardless of his decision on team selection. This incident follows a previous occurrence where Lisandro Martinez questioned the board's support for Carrick.
Carrick has denied any division within the dressing room as United prepares to face Bournemouth, aiming to end their damaging winless streak.
