The head coach of Manchester United, Ruben Amorim, spoke about the injury of team captain Bruno Fernandes. His words are quoted by the BBC.

“It is impossible to replace Bruna. But I think we need to benefit from this, many players need to prove themselves. And if you look, it’s not only about creating moments, but also about every standard, he is the one who organizes the team’s game. And this is a good opportunity for everyone to show themselves and understand that we cannot rely on one player for everything.

We lost in standard positions without Bruno. Also missing are Mbemo and Diallo, who also performed them. So it’s a huge loss for the team, but it’s also an opportunity for other players to step up and show the leadership qualities that we need in the team,” Amorim said.

This season, Bruno Fernandes played 18 matches for Manchester United, scoring five goals and providing seven assists.
