MUFC Must Break The Rules With Bruno Fernandes’ Contract – Owen

Michael Owen has explained why Manchester United need to break the rules when it comes to Bruno Fernandes’ contract at the club. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, MUFC must do everything possible to keep the Portuguese magician at the club for much longer, regardless of his age.

Owen added that Fernandes is absolutely crucial to Manchester United’s present and future.

His words, “If I was Manchester United, I would absolutely do everything.

There are rules and regs and things like that. Things that you think, ‘well, he’s X amount age-wise and you shouldn’t be paying this, you shouldn’t be giving long contracts, you shouldn’t do this’. But sometimes, a player is just so important, so important, that I just think sometimes you have to break the rules.

If I was Manchester United, I wouldn’t be able to bear going into the season without him. He’s just that important. Forget his age, forget everything else. He’s just a must if Manchester United are going to continue their progression.”

Mikael Silvestre added, “He’s a key player and I was happy that he decided not to go to Saudi and stay with United, stick with the club in a difficult moment in the transition.

He’s been here for a number of years, but despite the adversity, he delivered and he was the best player of the league last season. So it’s very important that he stays and continues to help the team progress.

Steven Gerrard is a great at Liverpool, he’s never won a Premier League title. He has won the Champions League. It would be nice, but his footprint at United is already big.

I would say that he needs to have a title, whether it’s the league or the Champions League, to become something really special for the supporters, for the history of the club. It’s something to be part of a club in a successful time, but you have to win titles.”
