Ruben Amorim lauds Bruno Fernandes after win against Leicester City

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim showered praise on club’s captain Bruno Fernandes after a 3-0 win against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Sunday. The Portuguese midfielder provided two assists for United and also scored himself in the 90th minute.

Fernandes has scored 16 goals and registered 15 assists in 44 appearances across all competitions for United this season.

“He’s a special guy in that aspect, he is always ready, he can recover quite well,” United manager Ruben Amorim said of his captain. “I don’t know the future but I’m reading what the performance department tell me, the numbers, and then what I see in the game.

“I always see a Bruno that is dangerous and one Bruno that can recover in every situation. So he is going to stay there. I already knew Bruno. What surprised me the most is the way he works every day.”

On the other hand, Fernandes was criticized by former Manchester United captain Roy Keane for his on-field demeanour. However, Fernandes admitted he has his own way of doing things and admitted his gesticulating and complaining can motivate his teammates.

“I do things in my own way,” Fernandes told Sky Sports. “Obviously it’s not nice to hear those things about you, but at the same time it motivates you and obviously people think there’s a lot of things you need to improve.

“Obviously not everything I do everyone will like or think in the same way and I respect everyone’s opinion and I have huge respect for Roy Keane and I accept there’s a lot of margin for improvement in my game, in my leadership and everything I do in my life.”

United are 13th in the Premier League with 37 points from 29 matches. The Red Devils will next face Nottm Forest at the City Ground on April 1st.
