And after the win over Roma, he's once again spoken out about his relationship with Carrick, but this time he's suggested things are a lot better.
Asked if he felt that he and his teammates had just saved Carrick's job, a defiant Fernandes replied: "We don't need to save anyone's job.
"The club needed that win. The players needed that win. It is something we needed as a group of players and staff.
"We have been working so hard to get out of this situation together."
Fernandes then addressed recent reports that Carrick had called him into a meeting to 'clear the air' after dropping him for the Premier League loss to Bournemouth as a response to his previous interview.
"It has been tough. There has been a lot of speculation in the media. A lot of lies around many things that have happened at this club, between me and the manager, like that we have cleared the air. Nothing like that happened," Fernandes added.
"The manager took a decision of making myself on the bench because I wasn't performing. And that's fair.
"Everyone felt like that was a punishment for the words that I had [after Como]. And if it was, it was right.
"The manager makes the decisions. I have to accept it. I have to go forward with that. It doesn't change the belief I have in the manager, the staff and every player at this club.
"And it doesn't change my aim to win every f****** game that I have ahead of me."
Immediately after the interview, Amazon Prime presenter Gabby Logan was forced to apologise for Fernandes' language.
Next, United face Aston Villa in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Sunday, with a win ahead of another international break potentially ensuring Carrick remains head coach while giving him a chance to kick start the rest of the season.
