Bruno Fernandes has been dropped to the bench for Man United's clash with Bournemouth after his criticism of Michael Carrick's tactics in midweek.
Manchester United manager Michael Carrick stated that benching Bruno Fernandes for the match against Bournemouth was purely a footballing decision rather than disciplinary action.

Carrick explained that selecting the starting lineup always involves tough choices aimed at achieving the right team performance. The manager also did not rule out potentially stripping Fernandes of the captaincy, stating he will always do what is best for the squad and the club.
