'It's unbelievable how fresh and sharp he is': Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes reveals he's tempted to ask Fred to play like coach Michael Carrick after being impressed by the retired midfielder's training sessions

Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes has revealed he's tempted to ask midfield partner Fred to try and play like Michael Carrick whenever the 39-year-old coach takes part in training.

Carrick was a top player at United for 12 years, winning the Champions League in 2008, before becoming part of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's backroom team at Old Trafford.

And according to Fernandes, he can still teach the younger generation things with his occasional performances on the Carrington practice pitches.
