Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has insisted there are "no issues" with captain Bruno Fernandes after the midfielder was omitted from the starting lineup for the Premier League match against Bournemouth.
Fernandes, who has worn the armband since the start of the season, was left on the bench for the fixture at Old Trafford. Speaking after the game, Carrick dismissed suggestions of a rift between the club and its skipper.
"There are no issues with Bruno," Carrick said. "He is fully committed to the club and remains our captain."
The Portuguese international has been a key figure for United since his arrival in 2020, but recent form and tactical decisions have led to speculation about his role. Carrick's comments echo a club statement confirming Fernandes' commitment to the captaincy.
