Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick and captain Bruno Fernandes have held discussions aimed at resolving team issues, ahead of the club's upcoming match against Chelsea. The private meeting took place at the team's training ground on Tuesday.
Fernandes was notably an unused substitute during Manchester United's recent 3-0 loss to Bournemouth on Sunday. This decision followed his reported criticism of Carrick's tactics after the Champions League defeat to Como. The specifics of who initiated the talks remain undisclosed.
Manaager Michael Carrick, 45, is set to continue in his role despite the team's current standing in 16th place in the Premier League. The club's board has expressed confidence in Carrick's ability to improve the team's performance.
Adding to the team's preparations, midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has returned to training after a two-week absence due to injury. Manchester United is scheduled to play Chelsea on Saturday at 12:30 GMT, with Fernandes potentially returning to the starting lineup for this fixture.
