"Do you think you saved the manager's job with this win?" The question comes late in Bruno Fernandes' post-match interview, after Manchester United's comeback against Roma. He does not accept its premise.
"The club needed that win, the players needed that win," Fernandes replies. He describes a team playing for the club, its staff and its supporters, rather than to preserve one person's position.
The interview on Amazon Prime Video Sport drew an estimated 700,000 views in its first day, far beyond the channel's usual start for regular videos. Its comment section was also unusually busy, with viewers discussing the manager question, Fernandes' response and a swear word that several say they rewound to hear again.
There is plenty of football before that exchange. Fernandes explains how he cleared his head after missing a penalty and scored when given a retake. He credits the Old Trafford supporters with helping change the match's momentum, while acknowledging their right to be frustrated enough to boo during the previous game against Bournemouth.
The broadcaster's surrounding coverage includes Carrick's own post-match interview, Kobbie Mainoo's reflections and Shorts showing the Old Trafford celebrations. Here, though, the revealing detail is Fernandes' acceptance of a decision that went against him.
Addressing speculation about his relationship with Carrick, he says his earlier benching was justified by his performances. "The manager is the one that makes the decisions. I have to accept them, I have to go forward with that."
