Manchester United coach Michael Carrick has confirmed that he has no intention of removing Captain Bruno Fernandes’ tape despite Portuguese public criticism of his tactics.

Carrick has made it clear that Fernandes continues to have his trust and that the midfielder’s commitment to the club is not being questioned.

He’s totally committed to this club and wants things to improve. For me, it doesn’t change anything, Carrick said at a news conference.

He’s the player who has been leading the team perfectly in many matches and for years, and will continue to do so, the English coach added.

Earlier this week, the media reported that Carrick and Fernandes had held a face – to – face conversation in order to clarify the situation between them and leave any disagreement behind.

During this meeting, the Portuguese captain reportedly confirmed his desire to help Manchester United to improve the season.

Currently, Fernandes is expected to be available for Saturday’s match against Chelsea, where the Red Days intend to get a positive result.

Carrick’s statements show that despite possible disagreements, he continues to consider Fernandes a key figure on the team and does not plan to change the hierarchy of the captains. /Telegraphy/
