His comments have revived questions about the club’s situation, which had already been eliminated from the competition, according to an account broadcast by MyJoyOnline.
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes criticised manager Michael Carrick’s tactical decisions after the team’s 4-1 defeat by Como in the Champions League. Speaking to TNT Sports, the Portuguese midfielder said Manchester United should have pressed higher and taken more risks.
Fernandes criticised the decision not to use man-to-man pressing, saying that allowing the opponent too much possession had enabled them to grow in confidence. Asked whether Carrick had made a tactical error, he said that assessment was for the manager and his staff.
At a press conference, Carrick responded that, whatever system is chosen, a team cannot win if its players do not run forwards or backwards. He apologised to supporters for a performance he described as unacceptable, while refusing to answer questions about his future.
The defeat by Como, already reported in the account of the 4-1 Champions League defeat, opened a new period of criticism around Manchester United, who had gone six matches without a win as of 18 October.
