“It’s Difficult for Me to Get Involved” - Michael Carrick Makes Stance Clear on Bruno Fernandes Transfer Amid Manchester United Revival

Manchester United want to keep Bruno Fernandes despite his release clause and past doubts, as he has 16 Premier League assists this season, aiding their Champions League push.

  • On Sunday, Michael Carrick, Manchester United head coach, said Manchester United definitely don't want to lose Bruno Fernandes, following his two assists in the 3-1 win over Aston Villa at Old Trafford.
  • Questions stem from a December interview and contractual terms, as Fernandes said last year he could leave at season's end, despite a contract until at least 2027 with a release clause of �57million.
  • Performance-Wise, Bruno Fernandes reached 16 assists this season, four behind the Premier League record, and became the third Manchester United player in the Premier League era with a century of goals and assists.
  • The result boosts their Champions League push, with Carrick saying 'Carrick is relaxed about whether Fernandes can break the record for assists in a single Premier League season, with eight games remaining to get the four he needs to draw level or the five he needs to take it on his own.'
  • Having rejected Al Hilal's offer last year, Fernandes' future remains uncertain this summer, despite Carrick's insistence Manchester United want him to stay.
