Manchester United manager Michael Carrick reportedly decided to drop Bruno Fernandes before his public outburst at the end of the Como game.

The Portugal international has been a star player for Man Utd for many years, but he landed himself in trouble by criticising the tactics of Carrick and his coaching staff in that 4-1 loss away to Como in the Champions League.

Carrick subbed Fernandes off in the 67th minute of that game, and he was then named on the bench for the defeat against Bournemouth in the Premier League that weekend.
