Bruno Fernandes has claimed that Manchester United’s four-day training camp in Dublin is “very important” to their final run of Premier League fixtures this season.
The Manchester United first-team squad under Michael Carrick linked up at Carton House in Kildare on Monday in the aftermath of the March international break.
The training camp in the Republic of Ireland runs until Thursday before the United players travel back to Manchester for the final preparations of their next match.
United will return to Premier League action on 13th April and the Red Devils will face Leeds United at Old Trafford, with kick-off slated for 8pm UK time.

Bruno Fernandes says Man Utd’s Dublin-based training camp is an important refocus for Premier League campaign
Manchester United are into their final seven Premier League matches of the 2025-26 campaign under interim head coach Michael Carrick amid their push for the top four.
The Red Devils are third in the Premier League table and hold a narrow one-point advantage over fourth-place Aston Villa ahead of their clash with Leeds United.
Speaking on Manchester United’s official podcast, Bruno Fernandes insisted that the final Premier League run-in is a “massive” moment for the Red Devils’ entire season.
The 31-year-old Man Utd captain added that the Dublin-based training camp allowed the Red Devils to ‘refocus’ in all aspects before returning to Premier League action.
“Obviously, to connect again with the ideas of ourselves, of the staff and trying to bring back the energy that we had before we left, trying to build something very important for the upcoming games because it’s going to be massive for us,” he said on Inside Carrington.
“If we want to be in the Champions League next season, it will be massive [for us in] the next few games for us. So, we need to be very, very prepared for that.”

Man Utd are tipped as one of the favourites to finish inside the top four now after the Red Devils secured seven wins from 10 matches during Carrick’s interim reign.
Fernandes admitted that the four-day training camp has been beneficial for all the first-team players to link up in the same place after the March international break.
“But it will be good also to be together after a long spell in some players, in [the] national team, others around the year,” he added.
“It will be good to be with everyone together, to make time, to [have] some fun together. And hopefully, we’re going to enjoy this little trip.”
United’s final run of fixtures includes different tough tests, including the Red Devils visiting Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea and hosting Liverpool at Old Trafford.
