From the source
Bruno Fernandes is expected to return to the Manchester United starting line-up to face Chelsea. Michael Carrick left Bruno Fernandes on the bench against Bournemouth, bringing four substitutes on instead of him.
It was a clear punishment after Fernandes criticised the tactics of the coaching staff after the defeat to Como. Carrick is set to stay on as United coach.
It appears that Bruno Fernandes will be back under proper consideration this weekend. Logically, it makes sense to select your captain, and a player who has scored more than 100 goals and assisted more than 100 goals for the club.
