Carrick confirms Bruno Fernandes stays as Man Utd captain
Carrick says the Portuguese is fully committed after leaving him on the bench against Bournemouth, ahead of Saturday's trip to Chelsea
Michael Carrick has confirmed that Bruno Fernandes will remain Manchester United captain, despite being dropped to the bench for the 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth on Sunday. According to BBC Sport, the coach says the Portuguese is «fully committed» to the club.
The decision came after Fernandes questioned the tactics following the 4-1 Champions League defeat to Como. Carrick explains it was a call made only for that game. The two talked on Tuesday at the Carrington training ground to move on. The coach says he does not need any assurances about his future.
United have gone eight games without a win, their worst run since 2015-16, and visit Chelsea on Saturday. Carrick is likely to remain in charge for the Champions League clash with Roma and the Premier League game against Aston Villa on 8 November.
