Manchester United lost 3-0 at home to Bournemouth in the Premier League, deepening the crisis around manager Michael Carrick.
Manchester United lost 3-0 at home to Bournemouth on Sunday, their latest setback in a deepening crisis at the club. The defeat extended United's winless run to eight games in all competitions, coming four days after a 4-1 loss at Como in the Champions League.
Manager Michael Carrick made a bold decision to drop captain Bruno Fernandes, describing it as a 'pure football' decision. Fernandes did not appear on the field as Bournemouth exploited United's weak defending, with Rayan, Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson all scoring.
With United now in 16th place in the Premier League and having won just one of eight league games this season, Carrick's job is under huge threat barely five months after he signed a permanent deal as manager. Disgruntled fans chanted against the club's director of football Jason Wilcox and the Glazer family owners. The decision to drop Fernandes follows critical comments the Portugal captain made to the media about Carrick's tactics.
