"It is going to sound strange but I've said it many times... Michael Carrick. I trained with him when he was here under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and sometimes he was with us as a number 6 to bring the ball between the lines and he was great, as a number 10 you want that ball to come to you as fast as possible, he was incredible in timing the passes, control and pass."
"I wouldn't say it was lucky but it was good for us that we had two big games straight away. I think if you win against Man City and then have to face Arsenal who are top of the league and very difficult to play at the Emirates, you could think 'it's going to be fine, we're playing great football now, we're going to win'."
Bruno Fernandes expressed a desire to play alongside Michael Carrick, highlighting Carrick's exceptional passing and timing during their training sessions.

He also reflected on Manchester United's success under Carrick, attributing it to the challenging opponents faced early in his tenure. Fernandes emphasized the importance of winning games, regardless of the style of play, especially against tough teams like Manchester City and Arsenal.
