According to Varzesh3, the future of Michael Carrick on the bench of Manchester United after the heavy 3-0 defeat against Bournemouth at Old Trafford has fallen into a halo of ambiguity more than ever. Voices are even heard loudly saying: they must decide tonight!
United have had a disappointing performance at the start of the new season and have gone eight straight matches without tasting victory. This run has taken the pressure on Carrick to its highest level and made the whispers of a change on the Red Devils' bench more serious than ever.
In the event of Carrick's dismissal, the names of several renowned coaches have been put forward. Eddie Howe, Antonio Conte, Julian Nagelsmann and Fabian Hürzeler, the Brighton head coach, are among the options that English media have named as Carrick's possible successors.
But the defeat against Bournemouth has not driven the fans mad only because it was United's eighth winless match. Events inside the dressing room have also now become an important topic, and fans say Carrick alone is not to blame, and the players may be more to blame than he is.
One of the notable points in today's match was Bruno Fernandes being benched. A decision that seems to be connected with his midweek remarks. Carrick did not include Fernandes in the starting lineup and, even though he warmed up during the match, refrained from bringing the Portuguese captain onto the pitch. Now no doubt remains that Carrick and Bruno Fernandes do not see eye to eye.
Jamie Carragher, as the pundit on the match's television broadcast, spoke frankly after the match about Carrick's future and demanded the club make an immediate decision.
The Liverpool legend said: "Manchester United must make its decision tonight. Michael Carrick must be removed from his position tonight — not only for the sake of Manchester United, but for the sake of Michael Carrick himself."
