Carrick's Quiet Run: Fernandes Hails United's Newest Coach

Carrick's Impact Recognized

Portuguese star hails Man United's manager's impact.

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United captain, praised the manager's influence and abilities, as the side extended their four-match winning run under his guidance.

Manchester United secured a 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, reinforcing Carrick's flawless start as caretaker with a 4-0 record, and reviving hopes of returning to the Champions League after two seasons away.

United's double at Old Trafford came from Bryan Mbwomo and Bruno Fernandes, with a goal apiece, as Spurs were reduced to ten after Cristian Romero was sent off in 29th minute.

Fernandes spoke to TNT Sports, saying Carrick has won everything here and knows what victory means for fans and club, and what it takes to achieve it within organisation; he believes Carrick is adding something special to squad.

And United have four straight Premier League wins, the first time in two years, with Carrick steering a dramatic turnaround since taking over last month, and the club weighs up longer-term plans.

Although his deal runs only until season's end—after an earlier three-match temporary spell in 2021—his striking impact places him in a serious battle to retain the job, as the club weighs long-term strategies and succession plans for the future.

Fernandes spoke about Carrick's style: he believes Michael arrived with the right ideas, empowering players, and that his words carry weight when motivating a team.

And he added: I still recall what I told him the last time he coached us; I was sure Michael could become a great manager, and he is proving it now before our eyes. Punchline: Carrick's plan is so sharp it could cut through Tottenham.
