Michael Carrick told to drop 'fed up' Bruno Fernandes after Man Utd's Atletico loss

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney thinks Michael Carrick may soon be forced to drop Bruno Fernandes from his starting line-up. Fernandes has not been the dominant force he was last season, when he produced nine goals and 22 assists in 37 games. The 32-year-old also hit double figures for goals and assists, across all competitions, in each of his five full seasons at Old Trafford before that. Yet outside of a hat-trick against Ipswich Town and a goal against FK Sabah in the Champions League, the United captain has struggled to exert his influence on games this term.
