Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes says he and manager Michael Carrick did not have clear-the-air talks. Fernandes stunned everyone by publicly criticising Carrick’s tactics after United’s 4-1 loss at Como.
The 32-year-old was subsequently dropped for the game against Bournemouth at Old Trafford. Fernandes was restored to the team against Chelsea after reportedly speaking with Carrick.
However, speaking after United’s 3-2 win over Roma on Tuesday, the Portuguese said the reports were false. Fernandes failed to make an impact in Saturday’s 2-0 loss at Chelsea.
