'Fully committed' Fernandes to remain Man Utd captain
Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick confirms Bruno Fernandes will remain captain, and addresses his own future before Saturday's trip to Chelsea.
Man Utd manager Michael Carrick has stated that Bruno Fernandes is fully committed to the club and will continue as captain, despite the Portuguese player questioning tactics in a recent Champions League match. Carrick dropped Fernandes from the starting lineup following United's 4-1 defeat by Como, which has raised concerns about Carrick's future.
The pair met at United's Carrington training ground on Tuesday to address any issues and reaffirm Fernandes' commitment to the team. Carrick remains confident in Fernandes' abilities and believes he will continue to lead the squad effectively. United is currently on a nine-match winless run, their longest since the 2015-16 season, and faces Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday.
