🚨 Michael Carrick wants Manchester United to assemble a midfield trio based on PSG’s dynamic Champions League winners. Carrick considers PSG’s midfield of Vitinha, Fabián Ruiz and João Neves to be the BENCHMARK amid United’s midfield overhaul.
Carrick wants United to develop a more DOMINANT playing style for his first full season in charge, with Kobbie Mainoo’s role due to be tweaked. Mainoo has embraced more defensive responsibilities under Carrick whilst also emerging as a key attacking cog. Carrick wants Mainoo to start ATTACKING spaces in behind defences in order to become a more rounded midfielder.

these united 'legends' have been disgraceful to say the least. and it's time to stop giving them the limelight. you won't hear me talk about gary neville being an idiot or roy keane being a bitter old guy anymore. only focusing on the positives(we love you patrice)
@FPLfrasier The thing is he only says this when Ian Wright initiates a conversation about it. I highly doubt he would ever personally reach out to Maguire to apologise. He's just saying this for the cameras and to appeal to Ian Wright
Apparently when someone says or does something bad (lying) it’s OK as long as that person has more titles than the person they are badmouthing. This is the logic for some brain dead fans.
The legendary status doesn’t give nobody a pass to absolutely be disrespectful to current players and the club.
Anyone who used that to justify Keane’s stupidity lacks some sense. Weirdos.
Anyway this is what he had to say about Sir Alex. I'm sure his standards cult won't be talking about he's insulting United's greatest manager in the modern era
Nah I love Bruno Fernandes man, I just watched the whole “The Diary of a CEO” episode and shed a tear. Just give him a lifetime contract and let him join the coaching staff after that.
Just so you know any disrespect Roy Keane gets now he brought it upon himself. A legend should know when to keep quiet especially when the vibe around United now is so positive. There’s no need for his negative energy or comments.
Before this conversation, I thought I understood Bruno Fernandes.
I knew the numbers. The goals, the assists, the leadership, the criticism he’s faced over the years at Manchester United.
But I didn’t understand the mentality behind it.
Bruno has arguably become United’s greatest player of the post-Ferguson era, carrying their creativity season after season.
He’s won more club player of the year awards than Ronaldo, and only five players have scored more than his 70 league goals.
So I went to Manchester United Training Ground to ask him questions the footballing world wants to know.
Bruno spoke about growing up in Porto, watching his father sacrifice his own football career to provide for the family. He told me his dad never praised him for scoring goals. Instead, he’d point out the small things he still needed to improve.
And somehow that mindset shaped one of the most resilient athletes in world football.
We spoke about:
- Why he believes character matters more than talent in elite teams.
- How dressing room culture determines whether talent succeeds or fails.
- Why taking risks is essential if you want to create anything extraordinary!
- His honest opinion on pressure and why he thinks it’s a privilege.
- His thoughts on having Michael Carrick as a manager.
- Addressing Roy Keane’s criticism.
When you listen to Bruno speak, you understand that what makes him exceptional isn’t just technical ability. It’s his standards.
The standards he holds himself to.
The standards he expects from teammates.
The standards he believes define culture.
I really respect how Bruno chose to join United during instability because he believed in rebuilding something meaningful rather than joining an “easy” project.
I saw a much softer and more thoughtful side of Bruno that I don’t think people will expect. So, thank you Bruno for taking the time to sit down with me and for being so vulnerable.
Even if you don’t care about football, there’s a huge amount to learn from this conversation about leadership, resilience and high performance.
