From the source
The spectre of Bruno Fernandes hovered above Michael Carrick now that he’s set to stay as Man Utd manager but a decision has been made.
Bruno Fernandes was dropped from the starting XI against Bournemouth and then hammered further when Michael Carrick didn’t bring him off the bench. It couldn’t go on without a resolution, so the expectation was that it would end with the manager’s sacking.
Now that that is no longer happening, a decision has been made on the future of the club captain. Reports have emerged that Bruno Fernandes has held face-to-face talks with Carrick in an attempt to clear the air after the former’s outburst post-Como loss.
