Bruno Fernandes dropped by Man United in big call by manager Michael Carrick

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has axed captain Bruno Fernandes from the team ahead of their next Premier League match due to the club's current struggles. Fernandes, who was voted England's player of the year last season, was substituted in the 4-1 loss to Como in the Champions League. Carrick criticized his team's lack of effort in that game, stating that players must run, advance, and retreat to secure victories.

This is only the sixth time Fernandes has been substituted in a Premier League game since joining United in 2020. The team has been in a dire situation, failing to win any of their last seven matches across all competitions and losing only one of their seven Premier League games this season.
