Bruno Fernandes admits he expected to win more trophies during his Manchester United career despite collecting an FA Cup and League Cup. The Premier League Player of the Season acknowledged his dream to win the biggest competitions, including the Premier League, and expressed optimism about the club's future under Carrick.

United's third-place finish secured Champions League qualification for next season, ending a two-year absence from Europe's top competition. Michael Carrick's impact since becoming interim manager in January cannot be overstated, winning 12 of 16 games before signing permanently in May following Ruben Amorim's sacking.

Fernandes praised Carrick's positive energy and new approach, which helped players "find an escape to be protagonists again." Teammate Matheus Cunha described Carrick as bringing the "vibration of the fans" and "Manchester has to have a different adrenaline to play," emphasizing the emotional connection to the club's history and the former England midfielder's influence.
