​Insider: ‘Heated words’ were exchanged between Carrick and Man Utd starter at HT vs ComoMichael Carrick and Matheus Cunha reportedly clashed heads at the interval of Manchester United’s clash with Como on Wednesday evening.By the time the referee blew for half-time, United were trailing by two goals and had offered little to nothing in attack.Carrick and Cunha clash during Como loss(Photo by Alex Livesey/Getty Images)Samuel Luckhurst spotted Carrick and Cunha having a ‘robust exchange of views’ in the closing stages of the first half, and reports are now suggesting it carried on into the dressing room.One Red Devils insider has revealed (via UtdDistrict) that ‘heated words’ were said between the pair after the attacker was informed he was being substituted, while the manager ‘wasn’t happy with Cunha’s performance’.Amad Diallo replaced Cunha when the teams emerged from the tunnel, and he went on to be United’s brightest spark in an otherwise calamitous display from the rest of the squad.It remains to be seen if the Brazilian will retain his starting spot for Sunday’s Premier League contest at home to Bournemouth.Carrick on thin ice after establishing seven-match winless run(Photo by Marco Luzzani/Getty Images)Meanwhile, the game could well mark Carrick’s final outing in the dugout.Although United told the media it was ‘business as usual’ in the lead-up to matchday eight, club chiefs are reportedly scouring the market for possible replacements in the event they decide to relieve the former midfielder of his duties.Three names who are said to be eyeing the potential managerial vacancy are Eddie Howe, Antonio Conte and Julian Nagelsmann, with INEOS favouring the Englishman, who departed Newcastle United in the summer.It’s certainly an appointment that the Old Trafford faithful would struggle to rally behind.Leave a ReplyCancel replyYour email address will not be published.
