Michael Carrick's pre-match press conference ahead of the Bournemouth fixture was different. He made a point to speak uninterrupted for 5-6 minutes about his thoughts on Manchester United, what it takes to play for them, his feelings and attachment to the club, it's history and the situation at the moment - in what could be interpreted as a last chance to express himself before he loses his job. Scott Saunders explains why that's his interpretation of what we saw, and why the club now must surely make a change regardless of Sunday's result. There's a preview of the game and an explanation too about why Bruno Fernandes should be dropped from the starting XI.
