The latest image of Bruno Fernandes made MU fans sad and they were even more upset when the information was revealed by the Manchester Evening News.
MU will face Crystal Palace in round 36 of the Premier League next Monday night (2:00 p.m., May 7). The story of reaching the Top 4 is too far away, but Erik Ten Hag and his team need to win all 3 points to protect 6th place. Currently, they only have 54 points, exactly 1 point more than the team ranked next. Newcastle. Even Chelsea has 51 points and is ready to advance at any time.
Before the trip to Selhurst Park, “Red Devils” fans received bad news. Captain Bruno Fernandes must wear a protective belt on his left ankle and leaves the possibility of playing open. According to Manchester Evening News, the Portuguese midfielder was injured in the match against Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-finals.
However, MU’s playmaker still tried to suppress the pain in the two matches against Sheffield United and Burnley. This effort seemed to make Fernandes’ injury worse. The latest image of the Portuguese midfielder taken on the streets of Manchester made many people feel sad.
If Bruno Fernandes cannot play, it will be a big loss for the “Red Devils”. MU’s number is in extremely high form recently, scoring 7 goals and 2 assists in the last 6 appearances. The only match in which the Portuguese midfielder did not have a goal or an assist was the confrontation with Burnley. It seems that the injury has significantly affected Fernandes’ ability.
Currently, many people are blaming Ten Hag for relying too much on Bruno Fernandes’ talent. In the most recent interview, the Dutch coach still hoped that the Portuguese midfielder would recover quickly. “After the match against Burnley, he was hurt and left the possibility of playing against Palace open. However, I know Bruno Fernandes will work hard to recover. He always tries his best to be able to compete”.
Remember that ankle injuries are always a nightmare for every player. This pain needs to be carefully cared for and the player must rest enough time to avoid future consequences. Besides, MU is not so short of players that Bruno Fernandes has to play every match. Eriksen or Mason Mount could both take over the Portuguese midfielder’s position for a few matches.
Using Fernandes when this player was injured for 90 minutes in the last two matches was clearly not a wise decision by Ten Hag. The Dutch teacher is increasingly losing points in the eyes of “Red Devils” fans.
