If Carrick did not start Bruno Fernandes today Man United would have Brighton comfortably. It is now very obvious that Bruno Fernandes is the problem of Man United.
Amorim inherited a squad sitting in 14th with Onana as starting goalkeeper, Hojlund as starting striker, Garnacho as winger, semi retired Eriksen as midfield option, Johnny Evans as rotation option.
Carrick inherited a squad that was sitting in UCL-spots, has Lammens, Mbeumo, Sesko, Cunha, Heaven (Developed and given trust by Amorim), Amad (Developed and given trust by Amorim) & on top of that he got 3 midfielders (Andrey, Tielemans, Baleba) while Amorim was begging for at least one midfielder.
Maybe if you use common sense, you’ll figure out why Amorim got more “grace” than Carrick. Amorim cleaned the club up & laid good foundations for success, it’s up to Carrick to not mess up that progress.
Hope that clarifies it. 👍
