Fernandes returned to the United side after being dropped for their loss against Bournemouth last week‚ when he was an unused substitute. The decision from Michael Carrick came after his skipper had criticised Carrick's tactics in the 4-1 Champions League defeat by Como‚ leading to uncertainty around the duo's relationship. In the week‚ however‚ they held crisis talks to fix their relationship‚ and Fernandes was back in the team - and playing 90 minutes - against Chelsea on Saturday.
The Red Devils captain raised eyebrows when he questioned his manager's tactics after their side's 4-1 defeat by Como in the Champions League‚ and was subsequently left out of the team for their later loss against Bournemouth. He spoke out just a matter of days after Lisandro Martinez had questioned United's activity behind the scenes‚ and left his United future in doubt. That's according to all-time Premier League leading scorer Shearer‚ who claimed Fernandes' previous success is now marred.
The Portuguese liked a cryptic Instagram post about 'loyalty' and 'no longer caring' on Sunday following the club's disastrous 3-0 thrashing at Old Trafford. Fernandes was axed for the clash after criticising his beleagured manager's tactics in the aftermath of their 4-1 hammering at Como in the Champions League in midweek.
Gary Neville has accused Man United's players of 'conning' Michael Carrick and branded them 'unprofessional' in an evicerating attack. Sunday's abject 3-0 defeat by Bournemouth at Old Trafford followed the dire 4-1 embarrassment in Como and looks likely to spell the end of the manager's tenure. Carrick‚ 45‚ received a warm reaction from the Stretford End despite the latest miserable loss and the home faithful then turned on the squad‚ booing them off the pitch.
OLIVER HOLT AT OLD TRAFFORD: It was hard to watch‚ just as it had been hard to watch United humiliated by Como in the Champions League last week. The truth was obvious: this United is a rabble‚ a loose collection of over-entitled‚ overpaid‚ over-promoted and overdone losers who have done their bit to throw their boss under the bus.
Under-pressure Manchester United boss Michael Carrick claimed that the club have lost their way in a five-minute opening speech to the media ahead of their crunch clash with Bournemouth. There is increasing uncertainty surrounding Carrick's future at Old Trafford following United's humiliating 4-1 defeat away at Como in the Champions League on Wednesday evening. The 45-year-old is set to take charge of the Red Devils as they take on the Cherries on Sunday‚ seeking their first win in all competitions since early September. And in his pre-match press conference ahead of the match‚ Carrick let his true feelings known regarding United's struggles.
Antonio Conte insists any negotiations to manage Manchester United are not at an advanced stage - but denies he is making off-putting demands of them or any other clubs as he ponders a return to football. Conte‚ who won the Premier League with Chelsea in 2017 and left Napoli this summer‚ features on a list of managers who could replace Michael Carrick at Old Trafford. Reports in Italy this week suggested the Italian‚ 57‚ had set 'specific conditions' about taking over at United in talks held the same night as Carrick's team were being beaten 4-1 by Como in the Champions League.
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes had his house burgled while playing in his club's defeat against Como in Italy on Wednesday night. The Portuguese midfielder's luxury Cheshire home in Nether Alderley was targeted by thieves at around 8.30pm - just as United were getting taken apart in their calamitous 4-1 Champions League defeat. A source told Daily Mail Sport that the player's family were not at the property and that the thieves were thought to have been in and out in about five minutes.
Michael Carrick lays into Manchester United after clobbering at Como: 'You can't choose when you want to perform'
So the Manchester United job has ruined Michael Carrick just like it ruined Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Carrick's sad‚ Mea culpa walk across the turf towards his club's supporters at Como's Stadio Guiseppe Sinigaglia last night bore a dismal resemblance to that made by one of his many predecessors at Vicarage Road‚ Watford‚ almost five years ago. The question now is who will be stupid enough to put their hand up to follow Carrick into a post he will surely be invited to leave before too long.
Three days after Michael Carrick sat at Elland Road and talked about a fresh start‚ this felt like the end. He left the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium looking beaten and rather bewildered after Manchester United hit a new low in Lombardy. Losing 4-1 to Como was more than a defeat. It felt like a surrender. How apt that United played in white. Noussair Mazraoui played in tights‚ for goodness sake.
Manchester United's forlorn players and staff returned back to Manchester and drove home in the rain in the early hours of Thursday morning as the latest storm builds momentum at the club. The Red Devils were thrashed 4-1 at Como in the Champions League on Wednesday evening - in what will be the latter's greatest-ever European display. It proved a night to forget for United too as their winless run in all competitions now stretches to seven games - with their last win a 4-0 victory over Sabah on September 10.
Things go from bad to worse at Manchester United as their 'fresh start' under Michael Carrick began with a disastrous 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Como. In the pouring rain‚ United capitulated under the pressure put on by Cesc Fabregas' young guns and they were behind inside two minutes in what was the start of a very long evening. Anastasios Douvikas got himself on the scoresheet‚ teed up by man of the match Nico Paz‚ who scored twice‚ before Jacobo Ramon compounded United's misery with a fourth.
“That's on the manager” - Mutiny breaking into the open at Man U as star player calls out coaching staff
CHRIS WHEELER IN COMO: Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes questioned Michael Carrick's tactics in the wake of the club's Champions League humiliation in Como. United were humbled 4-1 as their wretched season hit a new low and Carrick‚ who expressed his 'anger' at the performance‚ suffered his fifth defeat in 11 games. A week after Lisandro Martinez had taken aim at his Old Trafford bosses - and director of football Jason Wilcox in particular - Fernandes broke ranks to question why United were so passive again.
