From the source

The tide has quickly turned for the worse for Michael Carrick at Man Utd, but one single moment recently saw the players change their verdict on him.

Before the game against Bournemouth, it was looking extremely likely that Michael Carrick would get sacked and the cycle would repeat. The players were happy to shift all the blame on Carrick, and the board were taking the remaining brunt of criticism.

However, David Ornstein says a single moment shifted the mood around Carrington, and the players changed their verdict on Carrick. The player power culture has been spoken about a lot at Man Utd in recent years, with multiple managers identifying it as a key cause behind their failure.
