“Very important day”: Fabrizio Romano details United players’ true feelings on Carrick ahead of Bournemouth clash

Ahead of Manchester United's crucial match against Bournemouth, Fabrizio Romano has shared insights into the players' sentiments towards Michael Carrick. The Italian journalist explained that United opted to grant Carrick more time to assess the situation following their recent 4-1 loss to Como, which extended their winless streak to seven games.

Romano insisted that Carrick holds the trust of everyone at United, including the players, board, and directors. However, he highlighted that there are underlying issues concerning Carrick's tactics and decision-making. After the Como game, Carrick spoke to the media, emphasizing his faith in the team. Despite his positive personal relationship with the players, some individuals were reportedly unhappy with his approach.

Rumors suggest that discussions about potential replacements for Carrick have already been initiated, with various figures in the club favoring different candidates. The "German part" of the United hierarchy, likely referring to Christopher Vivell, seems to favor Julian Nagelsmann and Fabian Hürzeler, while others, such as Eddie Howe, are also being considered.

Director of football Jason Wilcox specifically expressed a preference for a candidate with Premier League experience.
