O Manchester United is the ‘iron and fire’ after one more loss consented on Sunday afternoon, at the reception to Bournemouth (0-3), in play of the 8th Premier League journey. The morning of Monday continues to be the scene of many reactions and Michael Carrick's decision to leave Bruno Fernandes in the bench of alternates deserves applause from Troy Deeney. At TalkSPORT's antenna, the former English advance admitted that the coach could be fired after one more bad result, but claimed to have no doubt that the great culprits are the players.
“ I don't need a coach to motivate me to play Bournemouth. We're in Old Trafford, it's a Sunday game. We've just been humiliated by Como and everything is talking about everything but us as football players. I don’t need more motivation or personal brio to think: well, today I’m just going to win all my duels”, started by saying Deeney..
“ That's the minimum standard and today I've been looking at the game with a slightly cleaner mind, thinking that if he gets fired, it's not Carrick's fault because of these big issues. I also like some things Carrick did. I love the fact that he humiliated Bruno Fernandes. I loved it, that’s what happens when you humiliate someone else two nights before,” Watford’s former goalie.
Troy Deeney's position refers to the fact that Bruno Fernandes publicly criticized Carrick's game plan for the visit to Como last Wednesday to the Champions League, which ended in the worst way for the English (1-4).

Emergency meeting in Carrington
Meanwhile, during the morning of Monday, an emergency meeting will be taking place in Carrington, Manchester United, which involves Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox, executive director and director for football, respectively, and Michael Carrick.
With only two wins in 12 games played this season, Carrick's stay at Old Trafford seems to be about to end.
Like Bruno Fernandes adense controversy
At the same time, Bruno Fernandes again fed the controversy through a ‘like’ on the Instagram social network, which did not go unnoticed in England. Local press says the captain of United put a taste in a publication that said, “Never press a loyal person to the point where he stops caring.”.
The fans quickly associated this publication with the current state of Michael Carrick and Bruno Fernandes' relationship, and there are those who have no doubt that Manchester United coach and captain are even turned back.
Bruno Fernandes was an alternate not used in the defeat before Bournemouth, with Carrick explaining that he made the decision based on purely sporting criteria. The Portuguese international still warmed up in the second part, but it would not even be launched into the field.
Michel Carrick, remember, took over as interim coach at Manchester United last January, succeeding Ruben Amorim, who was fired. The former Red Devils player would achieve the goal of qualifying the club for the Champions League, eventually being promoted to lead coach in this new season. However, it now seems to follow the course of its predecessors and the days will be numbered. The clock will be relentless..
