Carrick confirms Fernandes will remain captain and states he requires no reassurances regarding his own position at United.
Carrick reveals he is unfazed by his continued tenure as head coach
He emphasizes Fernandes’ significance to the team
Michael Carrick has confirmed that Bruno Fernandes will keep the Manchester United captaincy after being benched for the Bournemouth defeat, and that he is not taken aback by still being in charge as head coach.
Carrick and Fernandes held discussions this week following the Portuguese player’s criticism of the tactics used in the loss to Como, which led to the midfielder being an unused substitute on Sunday. Harry Maguire wore the armband but will not keep it for Saturday’s match at Chelsea, with Carrick stating “there is no decision to be made” and offering praise for Fernandes.
