According to The Sun, Bruno Fernandes is attempting to win back the support of Manchester United fans.
Previously, Fernandes questioned interim manager Carrick's tactics after Manchester United's 4-1 loss to Como last week.
Subsequently, during the lap of honor after the final whistle, the captain was among the players loudly booed and verbally abused by fans.
Fernandes did not play in the match against AFC Bournemouth. Despite it being his scheduled day off, he went to Manchester United's Carrington training ground on Monday for treatment. He later liked a social media post with the caption "Never push a loyal person to the point where they no longer care," which appeared to undermine Carrick's authority.
Sources from Carrington stated that Fernandes made a point of fulfilling more fan autograph requests when entering and leaving the facility. Fernandes, who is usually efficient, would typically drive his car directly into the training ground, but this week he stopped to take photos and sign autographs.
Fernandes also participated in the Manchester United Foundation's annual "Dream Day" event on Tuesday, meeting with fans and seriously ill children. He was quoted as saying: "Being here and bringing a little joy to the children and their families is very special for us. Making them happy for a day is always a proud moment for us. They are always so positive and say such heartwarming things. This energy is mutual, and that's what Manchester United is all about. It's part of the club's culture."
Fernandes was dropped from the starting lineup last weekend for the first time since November 2021, coinciding with Carrick's first match as interim manager against Villarreal.
Despite a poor start to the season, Carrick has been informed he will remain in his position. The Manchester United hierarchy initially planned to replace the manager but has been unable to agree on a successor.
