Bruno Fernandes has spoken out against media rumors regarding his relationship with Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick following a crucial victory over Roma.

Bruno Fernandes scored a pivotal penalty that helped Manchester United secure a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory against Roma, ending a nine-game winless streak. The win came as a relief for the team and head coach Michael Carrick, who has faced intense scrutiny over his management this season.

After the match, Fernandes addressed the media, expressing frustration over what he described as "a lot of lies" regarding his relationship with Carrick. This was his first public comment since being benched after criticizing Carrick’s tactics following a heavy defeat to Como. Fernandes emphasized that the decision to bench him was justified due to his performance, not as a punishment for his earlier comments.

The captain stated, "It doesn’t change the belief I have of the manager and the staff and every player in this club. It doesn’t change my aim to win every game that I have ahead of me." His remarks highlight the internal pressures within the squad as they strive to improve their standing in the Premier League.

With United currently sitting 17th in the league after a challenging start to the season, the victory against Roma serves as a potential turning point. Fernandes noted that the team needed this win to rebuild confidence and momentum. Looking ahead, Manchester United will prepare for their next fixture against Aston Villa, where they will seek to build on this newfound positivity.
