Man Utd battered by Bournemouth to leave Carrick on the brink
MANCHESTER: Manchester United slumped further into crisis with a 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth on Sunday that plunged Michael Carrick’s future as manager into doubt.
Manchester United suffered a 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth on Sunday, plunging the club into crisis and casting doubt on the future of manager Michael Carrick. The defeat extended United's winless run to eight games and left them just one point above the relegation zone in the Premier League. Bournemouth secured the win with goals from Rayan, Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson, while Fernandes criticized Carrick's tactics after a 4-1 loss to Como on Wednesday.
The manager claimed the decision to bench Fernandes was purely football driven but appeared to face taunts from the Bournemouth fans. Carrick's previous managerial stint saw the club finish third in the Premier League, but a lack of cup football has hindered recent progress. United has only won twice in 12 games this season. Bournemouth, who began the day behind United in the table, outclassed the Red Devils with goals from Rayan and Tavernier, demonstrating their status as a formidable European team.
