Bruno Fernandes will continue as Manchester United captain and faces no disciplinary action following his post-match criticism of Michael Carrick after the team's 4-1 defeat to Como in the Champions League.

Following the match, Fernandes publicly criticized Carrick's tactics, emphasizing that it was the responsibility of the head coach and his staff to identify and rectify issues, rather than the players. This statement has raised eyebrows and is perceived by many as a challenge to Carrick's authority, particularly coming just eight days after Lisandro Martinez voiced concerns about the club's recruitment strategy.

Inside Old Trafford, there is a degree of sympathy for Fernandes, considering the challenging situation he found himself in. The Portugal midfielder engaged in 10 post-match interviews despite being substituted for Joshua Zirkzee in the second half.

While some disappointment surrounds his comments, many acknowledge that Fernandes' frustration was warranted given the nature of the defeat, which ranks among the worst in the club's European history.

As for Fernandes' participation in the upcoming Premier League match against Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Sunday, his selection remains uncertain. Carrick is expected to address the situation during his pre-game news conference scheduled for 13:30 BST on Friday.
