Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes and first-team coach Michael Carrick have held clear-the-air talks following a reported public disagreement, marking a significant step toward addressing the club's ongoing difficulties.
The meeting between the Portuguese midfielder and the former United midfielder-turned-coach comes amid a challenging period for the Premier League side, with both parties seeking to move past recent friction.
Fernandes, who has captained the side since Harry Maguire's reduced role, and Carrick, a key member of Erik ten Hag's coaching staff, discussed the issues that led to their visible exchange.
The talks are seen as an important move to restore harmony within the squad as United attempt to salvage their season amid inconsistent results and mounting pressure on the management.
