“Despite the victory I’m not happy with him”: Bruno Fernandes names ONE Man United’s player who disappointed him during Everton game, Manchester United fans thought it was all smiles after a stunning 4-0 victory at Old Trafford, but behind the celebrations, Bruno Fernandes is NOT happy with one player’s performance. 😡 And it’s not who you think! 👀. In his post-match interview, Bruno couldn’t hold back, throwing major shade at one Red Devil who failed to impress despite the dominant win.
Manchester United fans were brimming with excitement after Bruno Fernandes delivered a masterclass in Ruben Amorim’s Premier League debut at Old Trafford. The Portuguese playmaker was instrumental, registering two assists—one for Marcus Rashford and another for newcomer Joshua Zirkzee—paving the way for a resounding 4-0 triumph over Everton. Fernandes showcased his creative brilliance, orchestrating the attack and setting up both goals before halftime. With his precise deliveries, Rashford and Zirkzee thrived, forming a lethal partnership. Their dominance continued in the second half, with each scoring again to secure a dream start for Amorim’s tenure as United manager.
Despite the commanding performance, concerns arose when Fernandes was substituted shortly after the hour mark. The midfielder, a key figure for Manchester United, was seen with heavy taping on his foot and an ice pack, raising fears among fans and analysts. A post on X (formerly Twitter) by @TheEuropeanLad highlighted his condition, showing the protective measures clearly visible. Known for his endurance and reliability, it was unusual to see Fernandes leave the field with an apparent injury, especially during a match where United held a comfortable 4-0 lead.
While the injury did not alter the final outcome—United cruised to a decisive victory that moved them to ninth in the Premier League standings—it cast a shadow over an otherwise celebratory occasion. The win was crucial for Amorim’s confidence and United’s position, but it came with an air of uncertainty about Fernandes’ fitness. With challenging fixtures against Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, and Manchester City on the horizon, Amorim’s joy might soon be replaced with apprehension about his star midfielder’s availability. Losing Fernandes at this critical juncture could significantly impact United’s performance during this tough stretch.
There is a silver lining: Fernandes did not require a stretcher when substituted, which might indicate that the injury is not overly severe. However, any swelling or discomfort in his ankle could make him doubtful for the upcoming clash with Arsenal. The bigger concern lies with his availability for the Manchester City game—a fixture that presents a golden opportunity as City struggles for form, having gone six matches without a win before their showdown with Liverpool. Without Fernandes, United might find it difficult to exploit City’s vulnerabilities, potentially leaving a gap in their midfield during this crucial encounter.
Fernandes’ resurgence has been pivotal for United this season. After a slow start under Erik ten Hag, he rediscovered his form with the arrival of Ruud van Nistelrooy as interim manager and now Amorim as the permanent coach. In just seven appearances, Fernandes has tallied four goals and five assists, reaffirming his status as a world-class player. His contributions have been instrumental in United’s recent improvement, and an extended absence would be a significant blow for Amorim during this decisive phase of the season.
The emphatic win over Everton marked an encouraging start to Amorim’s era at Old Trafford, but Fernandes’ potential injury looms as a significant concern. His ability to control games and create chances is irreplaceable, especially with high-stakes matches ahead. As fans await updates on Fernandes’ condition, Amorim and the team face a tense period of uncertainty, hoping their midfield maestro will return to action soon to maintain their upward
momentum.
