Carrick confident he can turn around Man Utd slump
MANCHESTER: Manchester United manager Michael Carrick said on Friday he is convinced he can arrest his side’s slump as he refused to confirm whether Bruno Fernandes will remain as the club’s captain.
Manchester United manager Michael Carrick expressed confidence on Friday that he can turn around the club's recent poor form. Carrick refused to confirm whether Bruno Fernandes would continue as captain following his side's 4-1 loss to Champions League newcomers Como, which extended United's winless streak to seven games. The former England midfielder was appointed on a permanent basis just five months ago, but his position is now under threat ahead of Sunday's visit from Bournemouth.
Manchester United currently sit 13th in the Premier League table after a disappointing start to the season and have been eliminated from the League Cup by Brighton. Carrick acknowledged that the team has "lost our way a little bit" and said he is confident they can regain their footing. Fernandes' future remains uncertain despite criticism from the Portuguese midfielder, who claimed he was too passive during the Como defeat.
Carrick emphasized that the team's success is the top priority and that he always makes decisions in the best interest of the football club.
