Bruno Fernandes responds to criticism: Manchester United captain reacts to Michael Carrick's decision

Manchester United's captain Bruno Fernandes has responded to being left out of the squad following recent criticism of Michael Carrick’s tactics.

The midfielder found himself on the sidelines ahead of the match against Bournemouth, with the coaching staff citing purely footballing reasons given his dip in form this season. In response, Fernandes took to social media, posting a video where he likened himself to a stone monster holding up a massive boulder in an effort to save his team, only to decide to step aside.

The club emphasises that the captain's behaviour contradicts a key tenet of the team, which is that Manchester United always comes before any individual player.
