Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick and captain Bruno Fernandes have held clear-the-air talks before the team's trip to Chelsea.

Fernandes, 32, was an unused substitute during United's 3-0 defeat by Bournemouth on Sunday.

The Portuguese was dropped to the bench after he criticised Carrick's tactics following the 4-1 loss against Como in the Champions League.
