Man Utd has made a decision regarding Bruno after his criticism of Carrick's tactics following a heavy UCL defeat to Como.
On 23 October 2026, BBC Sport reported the latest drama in the Manchester United squad after their 1-4 thrashing by Como in the 2026-27 UEFA Champions League group stage, Matchday 3, last Wednesday.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United's captain, criticized the tactics used by Michael Carrick in that match, stating that identifying problems and making adjustments is the responsibility of the head coach and coaching staff, not the players.
This incident was seen as a challenge to Michael Carrick's authority and came just eight days after defender Lisandro Martinez also criticized football director Jason Wilcox and the club's summer transfer activity.
However, BBC Sport revealed that Bruno Fernandes will continue as Manchester United's captain and will not face disciplinary action for his criticism of Michael Carrick, with many at the club sympathizing with the situation he faces.
Although some were disappointed by his remarks, many understood why Bruno expressed his frustration, given that the loss to Como was one of the worst results in the club's European history.
It remains to be seen whether Bruno Fernandes will be named in the squad for the Premier League match against Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Sunday, 25 October.
