Why Bruno Fernandes is at Carrington amid Manchester United crisis talks

Bruno Fernandes has reported to Carrington for treatment alongside other injured players while Manchester United leaders hold crisis talks. Executives Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox also arrived at the training ground to discuss manager Michael Carrick's future following a 3-0 home defeat against Bournemouth, which extended United's winless streak to eight matches.

Carrick dropped Fernandes for the Bournemouth match, attributing the decision to pure football reasons despite the midfielder playing through pain this season. The tactical disagreement between the pair surfaced after a Champions League defeat to Como, and Fernandes remained an unused substitute on Sunday before later liking a pointed quote on social media.
