United captain Bruno Fernandes has blamed Michael Carrick's tactics after a stunning 4-1 Champions League defeat to Como.
Manchester United's dressing room is under the spotlight after captain Bruno Fernandes pointed the finger at head coach Michael Carrick following a 4-1 Champions League defeat to Como. The skipper has laid the blame for the heavy loss on the tactical plan.
For a club of United's stature, losing by three goals to Como on Europe's biggest stage is a painful result. It will intensify questions about the team's approach and about whether the players and the coaching staff are on the same page.
A captain publicly challenging his coach's tactics is rarely a good sign. Fernandes is United's most influential figure on and off the pitch, so his words carry weight in the dressing room and with the fans. How Carrick responds, and how the squad reacts, will say a lot about where the team stands.
United now face the task of putting out the fire and restoring unity before the next big test. Another poor showing would make the pressure on Carrick and his players even harder to handle.
