BRUNO SACRIFICED FOR SAKE OF SYSTEM
Daily Star
|September 20, 2025
RUBEN AMORIM has vowed to continue with Bruno Fernandes in a midfield role - despite it not playing to the strengths of the Manchester United skipper.
The Red Devils boss has deployed Fernandes (inset) as a deeper-lying midfielder, despite the 31-year-old playmaker having produced his best form for United in a more advanced and attacking role.
But Amorim's refusal to change his 3-4-3 system, allied to the summer arrivals of forwards Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, means Fernandes has been forced into a role for which he is ill-suited. Amorim will stick with Fernandes in the deeper role for tonight's visit of Chelsea to Old Trafford, claiming that playing him there gives United more control of possession during games.
