The precarious and tense atmosphere at Manchester United continues to heap pressure on Michael Carrick, whose credit at the Red Devils is rapidly running out. Beyond their dismal run of form, the manager has also encountered several stumbling blocks inside the dressing room.

According to 'Sky Sports', the manager held face-to-face talks with Bruno Fernandes following recent friction that culminated in the Portuguese midfielder being benched for the 0-3 defeat against Bournemouth.

Both men have agreed that the best path forward is to mend their personal relationship as they bid to revive a Manchester United side currently enduring an eight-match winless run.
