Carrick Says Manchester United Still Hungry for More Success – Bruno Breaks Premier League Assist Record

Michael Carrick, Manchester United manager, says the 'Red Devils' are still hungry for greater success after finishing third in the league table. Bruno Fernandes is thrilled after breaking the Premier League single-season assist record.

Manchester United delivered an impressive performance in their final Premier League match of the 2025-26 season on May 24, crushing Brighton 3-0 to finish third in the standings.

Following the match, Carrick, who was recently appointed as the club's new permanent head coach, said: "We finished the season strongly. We performed well and third place is now confirmed. I like the way we finished the season and maintained that form. We emphasized that this isn't just the end of the season, but a stepping stone forward, and today showed that through the excellent way the players performed."

"We set high targets. You have to do that here. We want to finish the season as high as possible. Credit must go to every player who has performed consistently and to a high standard. It's a foundation we'll build on next season."

"It always starts fresh from tomorrow. It's never enough, it shouldn't be enough. That doesn't change, but it makes us want more than this. We want more and aspire for more as a football club, and certainly as a team. It's a great ending and a solid foundation for next season and beyond."

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United's midfielder who set the record for the most Premier League assists in a single season with 21 assists, said: "It's fantastic to break the assist record. I'm very happy about it. It's a moment to be very proud of. Of course, it's not something I would have dreamed of or thought about until I got this close to it."
