Carrick sack coming after brave Bruno call as Man Utd embarrassed by Bournemouth

Jason Soutar argues that Manchester United manager Michael Carrick faces dismissal following a humiliating 3-0 home defeat against Bournemouth. Carrick made a bold decision to bench captain Bruno Fernandes after the midfielder publicly criticized his tactics following a 4-1 Champions League defeat to Como. United fell behind to goals from Rayan and Tavernier in the first half before Evanilson sealed Bournemouth's victory.

Soutar praises Carrick's refusal to bring Fernandes off the bench despite facing severe pressure, choosing instead to bring on Matheus Cunha, Lisandro Martinez, Joshua Zirkzee, and Shea Lacey. The result extended United's winless streak to eight games across all competitions, leading Soutar to conclude that Carrick's tenure is over while pointing deeper blame at the club's hierarchy.
