Bruno Fernandes acknowledges Michael Carrick's decision to bench him

Bruno Fernandes admits after Manchester United's 3-2 comeback win against Roma that manager Michael Carrick was justified in dropping him last month for criticizing his tactics. Fernandes helped turn the match around with a re-taken penalty after United fell 2-0 behind. He emphasized that he respects Carrick's decisions and noted the importance of the victory for the team's morale. Following a string of poor performances, Carrick had faced pressure before this match. Fernandes and Carrick reportedly discussed their earlier tensions before the match against Chelsea, where Fernandes returned to the starting eleven.
