MANCHESTER: Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes hailed the impact Michael Carrick has made in transforming the mood around Old Trafford with four consecutive wins since taking charge. Fernandes scored as the Red Devils beat 10-man Tottenham 2-0 on Saturday to solidify their place in the Premier League's top four. Carrick is yet to lose in seven games during two spells as interim United boss. "Carrick came in with the right ideas, giving the players the responsibility and freedom on the pitch," Fernandes told TNT Sports. United move five points clear of sixth-placed Liverpool, who host title-chasing Manchester City on Sunday.
