Fernandes’s farewell draws criticism from some fans amid reported tactical friction.

Hours after United announced Carrick’s dismissal, captain Bruno Fernandes posted a photo of the two together with a short message thanking him. Some fans criticized the timing and Fernandes’s performances this season; one called his behavior brazen. Kooora, citing French outlet Foot Mercato, also revisits Fernandes’s earlier criticism of Carrick’s tactics after the loss to Como in the Champions League last month. He told TNT Sports that the coaching staff had chosen against man-to-man pressing, said the space available benefited opponents, and called for more courage and a high press. Separately, The Sun reported that several senior players disliked Carrick’s tactical changes and preferred the system he used as interim coach last season.
