Carrick refuses to confirm whether Fernandes remains captain at United

The manager refused to answer the question about the captain’s armband. He mentioned Sir Alex Ferguson, Sir Matt Busby and Sir Bobby Charlton and declared: “It was based on humility and hard work. We must never lose that.”

Carrick takes responsibility for the sporting crisis. “We have lost our way, but we will find what is needed again,” he said. “I hold that umbrella so I get wet and the rest stays dry.”
