- Bruno Fernandes Targets Premier League Glory as Manchester United Eye More Success Under Carrick
Bruno Fernandes has reiterated his ambition to win more trophies with Manchester United, admitting that lifting the Premier League title remains one of his biggest dreams despite already enjoying cup success at Old Trafford.
Speaking in an interview with ESPN, the Portuguese midfielder reflected on his achievements since joining United, including winning the FA Cup and League Cup, while also being named Premier League Player of the Season in May.
Fernandes acknowledged that both he and the club expect greater success in the coming years.
“Obviously, I want to win more, which doesn’t quite align with my personal and the club’s expectations,” he said. “But I’ve had some very good times. We’ve reached some finals, some we won, some we lost, but my goal has always been to win the most important competitions, and the Premier League is one of them.”
The United captain said he still believes the club can return to the summit of English football.
“I still harbor that dream and hope to achieve it,” Fernandes stated.
After securing qualification for next season’s UEFA Champions League, Fernandes also spoke about the importance of competing again among Europe’s elite clubs.
“Of course, playing in the Champions League is the most important competition,” he said. “You get to play against the most important teams in the world, in Europe. That’s what I want to do. I want to reach that level, compete with the best players, and prove that I can match them.”
Fernandes also praised newly appointed head coach Michael Carrick for bringing renewed energy and belief to the squad following a difficult transitional period at the club.
“I think he brought a very positive energy to the team,” Fernandes explained. “He tried to stay positive because obviously we were in a period of coaching changes, which is always a difficult time for a team.”
According to the midfielder, Carrick’s fresh tactical ideas helped several players rediscover their confidence and influence within the squad.
“He brought new ideas and a different way of playing, which was important for some players to become protagonists again,” Fernandes added. “And it worked significantly; the results proved it, and we hope to maintain this momentum.”
For Manchester United, Fernandes’ comments capture the renewed optimism around Old Trafford after a period of uncertainty and managerial transition.
Champions League qualification has restored a sense of direction, while Carrick’s early impact appears to have strengthened belief within the dressing room.
But the bigger test will come next season, when United will be expected not only to compete in Europe but also to mount a serious domestic challenge.
And with Carrick now shaping a new project at Old Trafford, the United captain believes the club has a chance to turn renewed momentum into a genuine title push.
