Bruno Fernandes has left Man United fans concerned about his fitness. As he left the pitch limping off during Ruben Amorim’s 4-0 victory at Everton. And it comes at a bad moment for the Red Devils. Since a major trip to the Emirates is just waiting for them on Thursday.
Fernandes was replaced at the 66th minute. But before leaving the pitch he helped double goal scorers Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee with two assists each side of halftime against the Toffees. Alejandro Garnacho took the place of his captain. The win helped United to enter the top half of the standings for the first time in several months.
However, United’s best playermaker’s pain was the only possible worry before their trip to second-place Arsenal on Wednesday. As per the reports of The Sun, Fernandes was seen with an ice pack taped to his ankle after being replaced.
The importance of Bruno Fernandes at United
United will be hoping the 30-year-old’s fitness setback isn’t too severe. As we all know the importance of the Portuguese at the club. He has been the best player for them since joining United in 2020. However, since his arrival Bruno Fernandes has only had to miss three games. That tells us about his amazing fitness level & injury avoidance record.
Since Erik ten Hag was fired as manager, he has also found some of his finest form again. The Red Devil captain already has five goals and four assists in his last eight club and national team games after a average start to the season.
Fernandes will play a significant role during his time at Old Trafford, according to Amorim. He even hinted that Fernandes might play in a deeper midfield role in the future. Though on Sunday, he played behind Zirkzee, alongside with Rashford.
Author’s opinion :
Undoubtedly Bruno Fernandes is the focal point of the Man United squad. And if he misses the Arsenal game, it will be a big loss for Ruben Amorim. To move forward in the table they must win these big games. The most we can do as viewers is to hope for the availability of the Manchester United captain on Thursday night.
