Fernandes gamble leaves Carrick to carry the can for United’s institutional failures | Premier League

Dropping your captain, the man that has held the team together for most of the past five years, is a bold move from a man whose job is on the line.

It did not work, and Carrick knew the consequences if it failed and will probably pay the price for it, but he should not be alone.
