What happened between Matheus Cunha and Michael Carrick following Como debacle will send alarm bells ringing
Manchester United is facing a crisis following a 4-1 loss to Como, with reports of internal conflict between manager Michael Carrick and player Matheus Cunha. The team's poor performance and tactical disputes have created a tense atmosphere within the club.
Why it matters
As one of the world's most popular football clubs, Manchester United's internal instability and poor performance have significant implications for the Premier League's competitive landscape and the club's commercial value.
We are only 11 games into the new season and Manchester United are already in the midst of a full-blown crisis.
The Red Devils have won only twice so far, while conceding two or more goals on six occasions already. Things came to a head on Wednesday after Champions League newcomers Como thrashed them 4-1.
Michael Carrick's methods have come under fire, with the head coach guilty of making numerous tactical errors , while the lack of intensity under him is equally alarming.
So much so that club captain Bruno Fernandes even called him out after the debacle at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia.
Now, according to the reliable Sully , the Portugal international is not the only one to have had a falling out with the former United midfielder.
