🚨💣 Manchester United and Michael Carrick are set to continue together next season and beyond.
Chances increasing for weeks as reported and everyone at #MUFC feels he should stay.
Players, management, everyone on same page.
Next step: talks to final stages and new deal.
Congratulations to Bruno Fernandes - the rightful FWA Footballer of the Year & the first Manchester United player to win since Wayne Rooney back in 2010.
He is United’s sixth winner in the PL era after Cantona, Keane, Sheringham, Ronaldo (twice) & Rooney. Individual accolades are about rewarding individual brilliance & excellence. It’s why United have 7 award wins, but 13 PL titles & it’s also why these awards exist.
Henry Winter was right when he said the game is about glory.. but this is an individual award. With respect to those who voted for others, I’m amazed that anyone is stunned Bruno pipped Declan Rice. The amount of games Arsenal won is an argument for them, not him.
Bruno has been comfortably the best player and most valuable in the league this season, full stop. Manchester United haven’t been the best team, but one man has stood head & shoulders above everyone else while elevating his team the way he has.
His statistical dominance is overwhelming: leading the league in assists (19 & counting), chances created & big chances created. He’s created more from open play & set pieces than anyone & has almost doubled the next best in both chance creation & big chance creation.
He has created 5+ chances in 14 different PL games. Twice more & that’ll be more than anyone since the stat existed. His goals & assists have directly earned United 30 points this season - only the 9th time that’s ever been done in the competition’s history.
And before anyone cries “it’s all about stats,” this isn’t just numbers - it’s eye-test dominance too. He decides outcomes more than anyone. When Fernandes went head-to-head with Declan Rice he outplayed him - once from central midfield, once as the #10.
He did the exact same thing to Erling Haaland at Old Trafford. He did it at Anfield, Stamford Bridge, time & again he did it. That matters too. Rice is superb - but he simply hasn’t dictated games or produced match-winning moments the way Bruno has on repeat.
The best player doesn’t always play for the best team. Imagine his numbers in a stronger squad, a genuine title-chasing side. The teams above United right now would be better with him in their XI - that is a fact.
And to the players who actually face him every week? Ollie Watkins & Matty Cash didn’t hesitate this week: “Bruno Fernandes. No doubt.” Michael Owen & Dimitar Berbatov said the same last week. They all know.
This is long-overdue recognition for a truly outstanding player. People will try to underplay it, don’t let them. Hopefully he breaks that assist record so it becomes even harder for them to deny it, because his case is undeniable: statistical, big game & impact.
He deserves this moment, it’s long overdue. And when he sweeps Player of the Season & Players’ Player of the Year, he’ll fully deserve those too.

So you've got:
James Trafford - Chose to come back to City over being a starter at Newcastle, for them to buy a world class GK 2 weeks later and him be benched
Wissa - Bought for £50m in the last year of his contract, for him to tear his ACL and likely not play this season at all. £50m literally down the drain.
Buonanotte - Mentioned how excited he was to play UCL football, initially left out of Chelsea's UCL squad.
Wirtz - 150m with 0 goals, 0 assists so far
Isak - Missed out on weeks of football, made the NUFC fan base hate him, possibly cost Sweden multiple games because he wasn't match fit for them
But yes, Benjamin Sesko is clearly the worst signing here. 2 goals in 4 starts in the PL so far, looking better every game, is clearly the worst signing here because *checks notes* he signed for Manchester United?
Shocking and lazy journalism.
