Bruno’s Vision Proven Right as Carrick’s United Keep Winning
Bruno Fernandes has revealed that Michael Carrick’s recent success as Manchester United manager did not come as a surprise to him. The United captain believes he saw Carrick’s coaching potential years ago, during his short interim spell back in 2021.

Now, four years later, those early signs are turning into real results. United’s 2–0 win over Tottenham marked their fourth straight victory under Carrick, who stepped in after Ruben Amorim’s departure. Fernandes once again played a key role, guiding the team with authority and confidence in midfield. His influence reflected the trust he has in Carrick’s ideas and leadership.
For Fernandes, this run is about more than results. It is proof that Carrick understands how to manage players, handle pressure, and give the squad belief. The captain feels the current success is built on freedom, responsibility, and trust between players and manager.
Control, Confidence, and a Decisive Win
Against Spurs, United took control after Cristian Romero was sent off, and Fernandes wasted no time making the advantage count. He delivered the corner that led to Bryan Mbeumo’s opener, showing sharp awareness and calm decision-making in a big moment.
Fernandes later sealed the win himself, finishing off Diogo Dalot’s cross for his sixth Premier League goal of the season. It was a performance full of leadership, energy, and intelligence, exactly what Carrick demands from his captain.
The victory strengthened Carrick’s case to become United’s permanent manager. Across his two spells in charge, his record now stands at six wins and one draw, with no defeats. The players look comfortable, organized, and confident under his guidance.

Why Carrick’s Approach Is Working

Fernandes praised Carrick for giving players the freedom to make decisions on the pitch. He believes that trust has helped the squad take responsibility and play with bravery, especially during difficult moments in matches.
Carrick’s long history at the club also plays a major role. Having won multiple Premier League titles and the Champions League as a player, he understands what it takes to succeed at Old Trafford. That experience allows him to connect with players and supporters alike.
Carrick returned the praise, highlighting Fernandes’ consistency and influence. He described Bruno as a player who always shows up in big moments and cares deeply about the club, qualities that set the standard for the rest of the team.
Staying Grounded as Momentum Builds
Despite the strong run, Fernandes has warned his teammates not to get carried away. He stressed that confidence can disappear quickly if focus is lost, especially at a club with United’s expectations.
United have now won four league games in a row for the first time in two years and already have more points than last season. Still, Fernandes insists that progress means nothing without consistency. Each match must be treated as a fresh challenge.
The next test comes away at West Ham, where United will look to make it five straight wins. For Fernandes and Carrick, the message is clear: enjoy the moment, but keep pushing forward. Watch and keep up with the latest complete football information only at footballtipsonline.co.uk
