The decision comes after Fernandes publicly criticised Carrick's tactical approach following United's 4-1 midweek defeat to Como.

Harry Maguire was given the captain's armband, marking the first time Fernandes has been dropped for a league fixture in almost seven years at the club.

Carrick insisted his team selection was made strictly for footballing reasons rather than as a disciplinary measure.

Former United captain Gary Neville stated Carrick had no option but to drop Fernandes following his direct attack on the head coach.
