Fernandes Questions Carrick Tactics After Como Debacle
Fernandes said United were too passive and that giving Como space let the Italian side build confidence.
- On Wednesday, Manchester United suffered a 4-1 Champions League defeat to Como, prompting captain Bruno Fernandes to publicly question manager Michael Carrick's tactical approach following the collapse.
- Carrick's side has now suffered five defeats in 11 games, struggling after conceding early in consecutive matches, including a dispiriting loss to Atletico Madrid last week.
- Como dominated with 62 per cent possession and 307 passes to United's 172, while Nico Paz scored twice as the hosts overwhelmed the visitors during the 4-1 victory.
- Fernandes criticized the staff's "decision to not press man to man," arguing the team needed to be "more brave" rather than allowing Como space to control the match.
- Carrick faces mounting pressure ahead of fixtures against Bayern Munich, Roma, and Sporting, while Cesc Fabregas is being touted as a potential successor following the team's collapse.
