European football expert Julien Laurens speaks on BBC Radio 5 Live: I think that if the sanctions against Lisandro Martinez had been the right ones, I’m not sure that Bruno would have said that after the match against Como.
It’s about limits and having to set limits on your own team so that things like that don’t happen and now for two senior players in the space of six days to go after the sporting director, your owners, your manager, your staff, it’s just embarrassing. It’s such a circus.
Leave him at home, he doesn’t need to be on the bench, that’s still half a punishment. He’s just going to be behind Carrick and I don’t think he should be there, period.
Former Crystal Palace striker Clinton Morrison on BBC Radio 5 Live: It’s a big decision but I think it’s the right decision. A lot of people raised their eyebrows, but I think it’s the right decision. You can’t call the manager like that tactically.
When I was a player I had a big mouth myself, but one thing I did was say it to the manager, in the dressing room or in front of people. I wouldn’t say it in the media.
But if they don’t get a result and you’ve let your best player and captain down, it will fall on Michael Carrick.
Nobody is bigger than the football club.
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher speaks to Sky Sports: Bruno Fernandes is the best player at Manchester United, there is no escaping it. PFA Player of the Year last year. He had to take a stand, Michael Carrick.
Even if he is the best player, there will be a lot of people who won’t like playing with him in the United team. He’s constantly throwing his arms up at people, he’s basically saying, “You’re not good enough to play with me.”
This is what we often see from Fernandes when things aren’t going well for United.
