Manchester United's club captain Michael Carrick and midfielder Bruno Fernandes have met to discuss tensions following their 3-0 loss to Bournemouth. The pair met at United's Carrington training ground, with both reportedly eager to move past their disagreements and concentrate on the team's performance. Bruno Fernandes, who was benched for the entire match, had criticized the team's tactics in a recent Champions League game, arguing against a lack of man-to-man pressing.
The meeting came after Fernandes' public criticism of United's coaching staff, who left him out of the starting lineup and did not use him as a substitute during the Bournemouth game. While the reported talks are positive, United will need to show improvement on the pitch, especially with a difficult away match against Chelsea looming on October 31.
