Carrick drops Fernandes only to see Man Utd humbled by Bournemouth

Michael Carrick dropped Bruno Fernandes and only saw his problems mount as Manchester United succumbed to a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth at Old Trafford.

The 4-1 loss away to Como on Wednesday, a seventh game without a win, had already heaped pressure on Carrick with the issues exacerbated by the comments made by Fernandes that Gary Neville viewed as "a direct attack on the manager" and his tactics.
