What happened. Bruno Fernandes played the full 90 minutes in Manchester United's Champions League win over Sabah and was spotted limping away from Old Trafford. Michael Carrick has promised the midfielder a rest soon.

Fernandes has started the season with four straight full matches.
He has scored four goals, including one against Sabah.
Carrick said he ran out of substitutions during the game.

“We only had five subs! We had to make certain decisions on what that looked like.”
