Tuesday, March 18, 2025
MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has heaped praise on Bruno Fernandes, calling him a "special player" after the Red Devils secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Leicester City in the English Premier League on Sunday.
The match at King Power Stadium saw United extend their unbeaten run to seven games across all competitions, with Fernandes playing a pivotal role—providing two assists and scoring once—to lift Amorim’s side to 13th place in the league standings.
Key Contributions from Fernandes
United's win was further highlighted by crucial goals from Rasmus Højlund and Alejandro Garnacho, who ended their respective goal droughts of 21 and 25 matches. However, it was the captain, Fernandes, who stole the spotlight with his playmaking and finishing ability.
"Bruno is a special player," Amorim said in his post-match comments. "He is always ready, always influential. Whether attacking or defending, he delivers in all situations. What surprises me the most is his incredible work ethic—it’s truly remarkable."
Named Man of the Match, Fernandes reflected on the team's progress, emphasizing the importance of maintaining their current momentum.
"I think you can see how we are improving, but we must keep pushing forward," Fernandes said. "We have crucial games ahead. My goal is to score as many as possible and assist my teammates. I want to get into the box more often and contribute to our attacking play—that’s my strength."
Injury Blow for Young Defender
Despite the convincing victory, the match was marred by an injury to 18-year-old defender Ayden Heaven, who had to be stretchered off after suffering an injury. The extent of his condition remains uncertain, with the club expected to provide further updates in the coming days.
United’s resurgence under Amorim continues to gain momentum, and with Fernandes leading from the front, the Red Devils will look to build on this positive run in their upcoming fixtures.
