Carrick Responds to Fernandes After Manchester United’s 4-1 Defeat to Como

Manchester United coach Michael Carrick and captain Bruno Fernandes appeared to disagree over the team’s approach after Wednesday’s 4-1 defeat to Como. Fernandes, who was substituted in the 67th minute, said the coaching staff had decided against pressing man-to-man at times, leaving space behind the team. Carrick responded that United had used a partial man-to-man press in the second half but conceded from it. He said tactics would not work if players did not run forward and track back. The result was United’s fifth defeat in 11 games and extended their winless run to seven matches, increasing pressure on the coach.
