Ahead of Manchester United's eighth-round Premier League clash against Bournemouth on October 25, manager Michael Carrick faced questions regarding captain Bruno Fernandes. The midfielder had recently criticized the coaching staff's tactical decisions, specifically regarding man-marking, following a heavy 4-1 defeat to Como in the Champions League.
When asked if he intended to take disciplinary action against his captain, Carrick maintained a diplomatic stance.
Regardless of what the situation is, I will always do what is best for the club. Whether I have spoken to him or not, I don't think this is the right moment to go into details. Michael Carrick
Carrick emphasized his commitment to shielding his squad from external criticism during this difficult period.
I will hold the umbrella over myself so that I get wet, while everyone else stays dry. We will be able to get back on the right track, I am one hundred percent sure of it. Michael Carrick
