  "account": "Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has reinstated Bruno Fernandes in the lineup for the team's upcoming match against Chelsea on Saturday, Oct. 31. Fernandes had been on the bench for their previous defeat against Bournemouth and was not part of the starting XI in a 4-1 UEFA Champions League loss to Como. The 32-year-old Portugal international previously questioned Carrick's tactics in the Como match, but it seems the issue has been resolved. Carrick praised Fernandes, stating that he is an important player for the team and will continue to lead the group effectively. Fernandes, who has been instrumental in Manchester United's resurgence, will also don the captain's armband for the big game.",
  "summary": "The Manchester United captain is back after a one-game absence that seemed to come because of his criticism of the manager.",
