Michael Carrick must hold a meeting with Bruno Fernandes and start him for Manchester United against Bournemouth on Sunday.That’s the view of legendary manager Neil Warnock, who knows the pair at not currently aligned with each other amid their worrying run of seven winless matches.Fernandes vented his frustrations with Carrick’s tactics after they were dispatched 4-1 by ComoGettyAfter a bleak 4-1 Champions League defeat to Como, United captain Fernandes took issue with their tactical approach to the match, particularly their decision to not play with man-to-man pressing.His comments did not reflect well on under-fire head coach Carrick, who explained that when they half-pressed man-to-man during the second half, they conceded.Carrick also appeared to dig out Fernandes and his commitment on the pitch as he added: “If you don’t run, you don’t run forward, you don’t run back, you aren’t going to win.”Reacting to Fernandes’ comments on talkSPORT Breakfast, Gabby Agbonlahor called for the 32-year-old to be dropped when they face Bournemouth at home in the Premier League this weekend.However, despite having a reputation of being a fierce, no-nonsense manager, former Sheffield United and Crystal Palace boss Warnock thinks Carrick should take a more measured approach to the match.Carrick must start Fernandes vs Bournemouth“When things go wrong in a dressing room, players never look in the mirror, they always blame something else,” he explained. “Whether it’s the pitch, the ball, it used to be the boots and everything else, now it’s the manager. “I just thought it was a disgrace. Fernandes, about a year ago when he started waving his arms, I hated him from a manager’s point of view. In fairness, he started playing and looked their best player, I thought, ‘He’s their best chance’. “I understand what Gabby’s saying about playing the kids, but you can’t play the kids on Sunday, and you can’t leave Fernandes out. “He’s going to have to have a chat with him and, however much he hates doing it, he’ll play Fernandes on Sunday. “He’ll say, ‘Come on, we’re at home, get back to your way’.”Carrick, who currently faces the sack at United, has been told to drop his captain from his starting XI this weekendGettyHowever, Warnock has stressed that he cannot drop Fernandes from the team despite his commentstalkSPORTWarnock then recalled last week’s post-match rant from Lisandro Martinez after defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, during which he called out the United board.“Martinez coming out like that, they’re not bothered!” Warnock said. “They’ve got a club lined up, or they’re going to go somewhere else. They’re not bothered about the manager, I felt sorry for him (Carrick) last night.”Agbonlahor asked Warnock if he would be able to contain his anger if he was the United manager and heard what Fernandes said in his post-match interview.“You’re going to speak to him but, I’m not being funny, I think if you’re captain is onside with you, he wouldn’t even think about saying what he said,” Warnock responded.What next for Carrick?talkSPORT understands that Carrick is still set to hold his pre-match press conference on Friday before the visit of Bournemouth and should be in charge of the team for Sunday’s game.However, United have taken steps to plan for a possible replacement, with former Germany and Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann being sounded out.Warnock is also worried for Carrick and his future at United, and believes he would be better off with more experience around himAFPMeanwhile, Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler has admirers at Old Trafford but would not be interested in taking the job, with Antonio Conte, Eddie Howe, Simone Inzaghi and Cesc Fabregas other options.“I can’t see a way out now for Michael,” Warnock said. “I wish I could have worked with Michael.“He’s a lovely lad and he knows what he’s doing. I think he just needs a bit of experience there with him as well.”Warnock added: “He’s not going to walk away, but the guys at the top… it’s almost like he wants to be relieved of his duties, really, he’ll be pulling his hair out now. “When people like Martinez and Fernandes have a go at the tactics, then he knows his time is limited. “Unfortunately for managers, it’s the easy way out, you’re not going to get rid of the players.”
