Michael Carrick’s job is on the line after Man United were thrashed by Como, with speculation surrounding captain Bruno Fernandes’ involvement against the Cherries
Manchester United face a major Premier League test against Bournemouth with pressure mounting on Michael Carrick as the club’s latest crisis spirals out of control.
After a 4-1 Champions League thrashing at the hands of Como, speculation surrounds the future of Carrick after seven games without a win in all competitions.
After Bruno Fernandes’ outburst in Como, it remains uncertain if Carrick will retain the Portuguese as captain or even start the player in this must-win fixture.
