Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes criticised manager Michael Carrick’s tactical choices after the 4-1 defeat by Como in the Champions League. United have gone seven matches without a win, according to Fernandes’s comments reported by TNT Sports.
After Manchester United’s 4-1 defeat by Como in the Champions League on Wednesday 21 October, the English club’s captain, Bruno Fernandes, criticised manager Michael Carrick’s tactical approach. “It’s for the manager and the staff to see,” he told TNT Sports, while saying that his team sometimes needed to press higher and take more risks.
Fernandes also criticised United for failing to press the player in possession and for a lack of attacking movement. The club have now gone seven matches without a win. According to the Portuguese midfielder, Nico Paz’s goal in the second minute created a “losing mood” that made it difficult to respond.
Como scored three more goals through Tasos Douvikas, Paz and Jacobo Ramon. Joshua Zirkzee scored in stoppage time, preventing Manchester United from equalling their heaviest defeat in the Champions League. Youri Tielemans, who started in midfield, acknowledged that his team had been outplayed and had not shown enough commitment.
The comments came after Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez criticised the club’s management following the defeat by Atlético Madrid the previous week, before apologising. The Mancunians’ winless run had reached six matches after their draw against Leeds on 18 October, according to a previous Manchester United report.
