What is wrong with Bruno Fernandes? Carrick tries to throw fans off scent as concerns over Man Utd captain grow

Katherine Walsh writes that concerns are growing over Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes following a noticeable drop in form during the club's sixth consecutive match without a win. Despite manager Michael Carrick insisting that the midfielder is fine, Fernandes has gone five Premier League matches without a goal or an assist after playing as a false nine in a 1-1 draw against Leeds United.

The Sun's analysis highlights tactical positional changes following Kobbie Mainoo's injury, as well as an ongoing contract stalemate with Fernandes in his final guaranteed year. Walsh argues that Carrick faces a tough dilemma over whether to drop the struggling talisman amid mounting on-pitch frustration and reported discontent behind the scenes.
