Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has said that he does not believe Bruno Fernandes’ injury will keep him out for very long. He, however, declined to put a timescale on his absence, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, even though he does not expect Mainoo and Bruno to be available ahead of the Boxing Day game against Newcastle United, he sees Fernandes returning in the near future.
Amorim added that it is impossible to replace the Portuguese midfielder; therefore, others will just have to step up.
His word, “Not for this game.
They are recovering. I don’t think that is going to take a lot of time. I think Kobbie will return faster than Bruno.
It is impossible to replace Bruno but I said that this morning to the team.
We need to take the good thing — if there is a good thing on that — that a lot of people need to step up and understand we cannot rely on one player for everything.
Sometimes we rely on Bruno for organisation and the creation. We have lost Bruno on set-pieces, Bryan [Mbeumo] and Amad on set-pieces, so this is massive for the team.
But it is an opportunity for other players to step up and show the leadership that we need in the team.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
