Jamie Carragher has criticised Bruno Fernandes for questioning Man Utd's tactics following their 4-1 defeat to Como, but believes that it could be the end of the line for Michael Carrick. Fernandes questioned the decision to not press Como man-to-man post-match, while Carrick responded in his press conference by saying "if you don't run back, you ain't going to win". Fernandes' claims come just over a week after Lisandro Martinez called out the club's hierarchy following the 2-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid.

He is killing the rest of the team by doing it. "He is not playing in a successful era at Manchester United but years ago there was a captain called Brian Robson, one of the greatest players to ever play for Man Utd. "He didn't play for teams that won leagues or European cups every year.
