Gibbs-White Can Replace Bruno Fernandes At MUFC – Meulensteen

Former Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen has said that Morgan Gibbs-White could be Bruno Fernandes’ playmaking successor at the club. This comes amid MUFC’s links to Elliot Anderson, and fans have been reacting.

On whether the Red Devils should already be planning for life without Fernandes, Rene revealed that, alongside players like Odegaard, Cherki and Bernardo Silva, Gibbs-White is a good midfielder who can offer close to what Bruno delivers on the pitch.

Stressing that top teams are known to plan ahead, Meulensteen added that the Red Devils must start preparing for life after Fernandes.

His words, “You always do that. You need to start looking at it.

First, you need to analyse and break it down. What does Bruno give you? And that’s the sort of qualities that you want to be replaced. Obviously, he’s a hard worker, he’s always fit, he always plays, and on the pitch he has got that ability to link the play from back to front in the best and quickest possible way – one pass over 60, 70 yards. He can hit that ball, he can drive the ball, he can carry it, he can obviously assist, and the goals he’s scored. That’s the package that you’re looking at.

Now, are there many like Bruno about at this moment in time? Like, really similar players to him In the Premier League? There are similar players – [Martin] Odegaard does a similar job for Arsenal. And I would say [Rayan] Cherki, Bernardo Silva do similar jobs for City.

Those are the things you need to start looking at. And Morgan Gibbs-White, I could see him in that sort of role. But Bruno is obviously an exceptional player.”

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.
