Manchester United is struggling to find its form and consistency in the Premier League.
Currently sitting in 14th place, the Red Devils have faced elimination from the League Cup and the FA Cup, and now they are under pressure in the Europa League after a 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad in the first leg of their Round of 16 matchup.
Bruno Fernandes Addresses His Relationship with Ruben Amorim
As Manchester United continues to face challenges, speculation surrounds the relationship between manager Ruben Amorim and his players. The Portuguese coach reportedly had a disagreement with Marcus Rashford, leading to Rashford’s loan to Aston Villa in January. Furthermore, Amorim has faced criticism from fans for publicly chastising his squad.
Despite rumors of a close bond with club captain Bruno Fernandes, the midfielder has refuted such claims.
Fernandes explained that his relationship with Amorim is purely professional, stating he had met the manager only once prior to Amorim’s appointment at Old Trafford and does not have a unique connection beyond that of a typical player-coach dynamic.
Speaking to CBS Sports, the 30-year-old shared:
“I wouldn’t say we’re quite close. We don’t speak that much to be honest.
“Obviously we have a good relationship, but I wouldn’t say that it’s different from any other player.”
Even amid the team’s uncertainty, Fernandes remains a pivotal figure in Manchester United’s lineup. His influence was clear in the recent 1-1 draw against Arsenal, where he scored a stunning free-kick just before halftime.
Fernandes Shines Despite Manchester United’s Struggles
Amid a challenging domestic campaign, Fernandes has consistently been one of Manchester United’s standout players. He has notably contributed 12 goals and 13 assists in 42 appearances across all competitions, establishing himself as a key player in a difficult season.
With hopes for domestic trophies dashed, the Europa League now represents Manchester United’s best chance of salvaging their season.
As they prepare for the second leg against Real Sociedad, Fernandes’ leadership and creativity will be critical in their pursuit of European glory.
