Michael Carrick insisted Manchester United definitely do not want to lose Bruno Fernandes in the summer despite ongoing speculation about the midfielder's future. The United head coach's comments came after Fernandes scored two assists in a 3-1 win over Aston Villa, taking his Premier League tally to 16 - surpassing David Beckham's club record of 15 set in 1999-2000. Fernandes' corner led to Casemiro's opener, and Carrick acknowledged the midfielder's importance, stating he's 'definitely not one we would want to lose' and has been 'terrific' since joining.

United fans serenaded Fernandes with chants for 'one more year' at Old Trafford, though Carrick suggested a U-turn is unlikely. The result kept United in third place on 54 points, vital for their Champions League push with eight games remaining.
