Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has criticized what he described as media "lies" regarding his relationship with former coach Michael Carrick. The Portuguese international's comments came after his penalty kick ignited a second-half revival for United in their match against Roma.
The incident occurred during a fixture on November 4, 2026, with Fernandes converting from the spot to help turn the game in United's favor. Following the match, Fernandes addressed reporters, denying speculation about tension between himself and Carrick, who previously served as a coach at the club.
Fernandes emphasized that the reports were unfounded and stressed his professional respect for Carrick. The victory over Roma provided a timely boost for United as they navigate a demanding schedule across domestic and European competitions.
