From the source
If (when) Michael Carrick is sacked, the list of decisions he got wrong at Man Utd will be long, but his legacy decision will be the one he made with Mason Mount against Bournemouth.
In trying to send a message to Bruno Fernandes after his outburst against Como, Michael Carrick started Mason Mount, Youri Tielemans, and Amad in a fluid attack.
To nobody’s surprise, the only thing fluid about that attack was who would give the ball away each time, and Mount, in particular, was a non-factor.
