Despite the humiliating 4-1 defeat to Como in the Champions League, Manchester United players have been granted a day off. According to sources from ESPN, the team will only return to training on Friday.
This defeat marks the heaviest loss for the Red Devils in the competition since 1994, when they succumbed to Barcelona 4-0. United's winless streak across all competitions has now reached seven matches, placing immense pressure on head coach Michael Carrick.
After the game, captain Bruno Fernandes voiced concerns regarding the team's tactics, prompting Carrick to publicly urge his players to reassess their commitment.
I am disappointed, more than disappointed. Honestly, I am really angry, admitted the coach.
But we need to move on, deal with what’s next, and see how that looks. Right now, there is a lot of work to do before the next game to prepare the team because it was a tough night for everyone.
At present, Manchester United sit in a lowly 13th place in the Premier League table, and on Sunday, they face a challenging match against Bournemouth, particularly as a number of players are carrying fitness concerns.
