"Two moments in Bruno Fernandes' 200th game for Manchester United summed up his importance to Ruben Amorim's team. The first came seven minutes from the end of United's 2-1 victory against Chelsea at Old Trafford as he nicked the ball off Chelsea captain Reece James, surged 40 yards downfield and drew a full-length save from Filip Jorgensen. Fernandes reacted by roaring at the Stretford End."
""He deserves all the praise," said Amorim afterwards. "The most important thing is the influence he has on the squad. Sometimes he's not in the best position to be the main man in every game, but the point of the captain is to be the best he can be in every situation to help the team to be better. He's doing that.""
Bruno Fernandes produced decisive actions in his 200th Manchester United appearance, stealing the ball from Reece James, charging 40 yards and forcing a full-length save, then celebrating passionately. He scored his 100th goal for the club and showed visible anxiety on the bench after being substituted. Ruben Amorim praised Fernandes' influence on the squad and stressed the captain's role in improving team performance. Fernandes joined United from Sporting for £47m in January 2020, bringing focus to the attack while attracting criticism for temperament and discipline. United remain inconsistent under Amorim with limited successive league victories.
