”I love playing at Old Trafford more than anything in the world.”
European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano published an interview with Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes on Thursday (June 24). ”I love playing at Old Trafford more than anything in the world,” Fernandes said in the interview. I don’t want to leave,” he said.
Fernandes is a Portuguese attacking midfielder. With a powerful right-footed kick and clever football sense, he can score in a variety of ways both inside and outside the box, and his ability to create chances is regarded as one of the best in the world. He is also known for being a hard-working and injury-free player.
Since moving to Sporting CP in the 2017-18 season, Fernandez has developed into one of the best midfielders in Europe. In his first season with Sporting, he scored 16 goals and provided 20 assists in 56 games, finishing second on the team and winning the Portuguese Primeira Liga Player of the Year award. In 2018-19, he set the club’s single-season record for goals by a midfielder with 32 goals and 18 assists in 53 games, breaking the record for most goals by a Portuguese midfielder in a single season.
After being pursued by big clubs, Fernandez finally broke into the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2019-20 season. United paid a whopping €55 million to Sporting for the player. In his first season at United, Fernandez won two Premier League Player of the Month awards and scored 12 goals and provided eight assists in 22 games.
The 2020-21 season was a highlight for Fernandez. Fernandes scored 28 goals and provided 18 assists in 58 games, won two more Player of the Month awards, and won four trophies in a single year. This is a first in Premier League history. For the 2021-22 season, United rewarded Fernandez by signing him to a new long-term contract.
Fernandes was an integral part of the team last season after the arrival of Eric Tenakh, scoring 14 goals and providing 13 assists in 59 games, and this season he has been the captain, leading United’s attack. He has 10 goals and eight assists in the 토토 Premier League, two goals and two assists in the Champions League, and three goals and two assists in the FA Cup.
United finished eighth in the Premier League this season with 18 wins, six draws, 14 losses, and 60 points, but Fernandes has played his part. Without him, it’s hard to imagine where United would have fallen this season. United are now in the FA Cup final, thanks in large part to Fernandes.
However, he has recently been linked with a move away. In a recent interview, Fernandes said that he could leave the club if United don’t need him. Saudi Arabian Professional League side Al Nasr have been in the running for the player, with Portugal international Cristiano Ronaldo leading the chase.
Fortunately, Fernandes is not leaving United. In his own words, he put fans’ fears to rest. ”Playing for United has always been my ultimate dream,” Fernandez added in the end. Man Utd fans reacted with relief.
