Herrera backs Fernandes and urges patience with Carrick
Story updated
The story in brief
32-second readFormer Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera has defended captain Bruno Fernandes amid a difficult spell for the Reds and backed Michael Carrick to build a team capable of competing for trophies.
Fernandes has not matched the high standards he set last season, despite opening this campaign with a hat-trick against Ipswich Town in August. Speaking on Rio Ferdinand Presents, Herrera said the scrutiny should not erase the responsibility Fernandes has shouldered across several seasons.
Herrera says Fernandes has often been the solution “For me, he’s a leader. He has had Manchester United on his back a lot of years, a lot of seasons,” Herrera said on the podcast, in comments reported by The Mirror and The Peoples Person.
