"Bruno's definitely not someone we'd want to lose, I can say that, but the summer and beyond that, it's difficult for me to kind of go too far with that, but certainly, he's important for us and he's definitely not one we would want to lose."
"I think when something's decided and in some ways, the fact that it was decided makes things a little bit easier and everyone understands the situation. I think the impact he has had has been terrific, certainly, since I've been here and working with him."
Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick has stated the club is determined to keep Bruno Fernandes, despite uncertainty surrounding the midfielder's long-term future. Fernandes, 31, previously indicated in December that he might leave at season's end, though he remains contracted until 2027 with a £57 million release clause. Carrick emphasized Fernandes' importance to the team following his two-assist performance against Aston Villa, which saw him break David Beckham's Premier League assist record for United. While Carrick acknowledged difficulty discussing summer plans, he made clear Fernandes is not someone the club wants to lose. The manager also addressed Casemiro's confirmed summer departure, noting the decision provides clarity despite the Brazilian's significant impact.
