The presence of Bruno Fernandes in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s eleven was a constant during the past campaign, reaching limits in which the footballer showed visible signs of fatigue and, consequently, the spectacular performance he had offered in the initial part of the season fell. His coach acknowledged in an interview with ESPN this Thursday that perhaps he abused Portuguese excessively and that they have to reach the last months with the freshest players.
“We have to get to April and May with the freshest players. We need players with this ‘X factor’ who can make a difference. Last year, for example, maybe I exaggerated with Bruno Fernandes, but it was because he was very important to us. Add additional players, such as Jesse’s return [Lingard] and Jadon’s entrance [Sancho] It gives us much more to work with, “acknowledged the technician.
Bruno Fernandes played a total of 58 games with United in 20-21, leaving at 4,584 minutes. His performance was spectacular for much of the season, but he reached the finals very tired. Even so, the Portuguese finished the season with 28 goals and 17 assists in all competitions, a number of real stars.
